These games are all PC which can be downloaded and used without installation. The game is finished but is under going testing. This is a small PC project, nothing to do with the xbox. I decided I do enough for the xbox now to do something for PC.

:)

If the project goes well then we could have our first game by friday. In future perhaps I will give unique sneek peaks to you lot

Well,

Im not very sure about dream cast, you see i have never played or seen one. I like the idea of emualation. What could I try and do to make it dream cast related?

Nice looking game. I might give it a shot when it's released (what are the recommended specs?). Just make sure you let us know when it's released!

Will it be open source?

if it's open source it would be DC related :)

That's pretty much the truth. However, it would need to be written in a language that is easily portable to the DC.

The devvers in here would be able to tell you more about which languages those are.

If it's written in C/OpenGL, then it might be portable to the Dreamcast.

If it uses C++ or Direct3D, chances decrease. The C++ library on the Dreamcast is not complete, and getting a more complete version (STLport) working is pretty tricky. We have no Direct3D, so we'd have to rewrite the rendering system from scratch.

If it's written in any other programming language, or if the game is full of Windows-isms (like using the Win32 API for everything, instead of using more portable standard C libraries), then chances drop to "slim" or "none".

Its .exe format

Just double click on the exe file inside the downloaded folder and the game should just play!
