So I want to make a Dreamcast game, and I want to know if anyone has suggestions for a 2D platformer engine that is A) free, and B) runs well on the Dreamcast. Being able to port it to the PC is a plus.

Dreambor can be used for making 2D platform games it takes more skill then just making a beat em up style game but it can be done and used on pc and dc
example of platform action using the openbor / or updated dream beats of rage engine
pretty much can use this engine for anything really limited by your own mind

I'm about to release a new version of my engine next week! It allows you to create a simple 2D game for PC, DC and Nintendo Wii! I'll create a new thread next week

Ian you are a machine, the DC fans here in my country are always talking about your projects! You are a good inspiration man!
When you have some time, I'd love to have that video library we talked some time ago. But don't worry man, you are doing so much already. Take your time.

I'm glad to hear that. I've tried your IDE before. Have you managed to get the frame-rate up to 60 FPS on Dreamcast with this newest release? If not, then what is the FPS?

I got a lot of performance on DC! I did a refactoring in all the code and I'm also loading the Backgrounds in tiles. So, no more big images are being loaded in memory. For simple 2D games I believe it can be very helpful.
As soon I have everything ready and well documented including FPS stuff I will create a new thread here next week.
