Title is more or less self explanatory.
You can get it at www.dreamcast.es , use the translation panel on the right side of the website if you need.
There is an english readme inside of every download.

It runs at 60 fps and works pretty well, I would like to have some feedback to see what features I can improve.
version ported is the latest SVN ( rev 27 ).

Gah, failed miserably with both nullDC's and Chankast's video drivers sad.png Also crashes past the title screen.

And I don't have a real Dreamcast >_>

It works ( not well ) with chankast graphic plugin on nulldc latest version.
Dreamcast emulators don't like homebrew at all it seems...

That's one of the combinations I tried. Crashes once I go past the title screen.

Most likely they're doing something that official games normally didn't. That's normally what screws up emulators, especially high level ones that make assumptions that aren't always true. Also the double screen glitch looks like being similar to that of the 3D BIOS =/

Now it goes past the title screen, but it's still slow and the graphical glitches remain.

Bah, I can't complain, there are computer ports of that game, so there isn't any point to get the Dreamcast version working on anything else other than real hardware really =/

But those glitches are baceuse of the emulators, the real fun is playing on a real Dreamcast

Wait, I'm confused. What is this supposed to be? A beta to SA1? Vanilla SA1? Or a different game altogether? Because f it is a beta, then color me suprised (and amazed). I'm gonna have to learn how to burn images to CDs for my Dreamcast.

However, if it is just SA1, then what does it matter? Like said before, it's already been ported to the PC, so...

EDIT: nvm this post psyduck.png

Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up. It's just that when I hear "Sonic" and "Dreamcast" in the same sentence, my mind immediately goes to SA1.

As for the game, I've never heard of it. Looks pretty nice, though. I'm going to try this one out...

The site in the OP seems to be down. Can someone please put this on a dedicated download site? Thanks.
