Is it theoretically possible to port games made in Game Maker 7 for the PC to the Dreamcast? I know that you would need the source for the game.

No, not possible without the source. You can't port any game to any platform without a source code to accompany it.

Say it was my game and I was willing to distribute the .gmk. What then?

Nothing, because the .gmk is just a file used by gamemaker to run the actual data. Unless you can obtain the code behind it (not possible) you're out of luck.

Damn. My visions of playing Console Wars on my DC went up in smoke. Oh well. I have no coding/porting skillz, anyway. :P
