Daytona USA 2 Dreamcast port?

Would this be possible, if it is, why don't the guys who make new Dreamcast games today focus on making a port of Daytona USA 2 for DC.
Connection! Hooray!!!

Possible? Of course. But for a 100% port, Sega would need to release the source code.
Keep dreaming.

Not gonna happen man. It takes 30-100 people to make or port games of that caliber. If anything, just wishful thinking, but I would LOVE an Outrun 2 port.

That game, even on PC, my brother said looked like a "modern" Dreamcast game, even though it had the same graphics as the Xbox version. I guess the game is thinly populated with polygons, like things look like they are from Dreamcast days, only with better shader quality, if that makes any sense?

EDIT: It's made for the Model 3. But without the source code it's not possible.
