They would had to write the engine from the start not port it.. this porting pc games to dreamcast was always a mistake I have made it my self .. the dreamcast is a 3d powerhouse need to use the sh4 and pvr to do your work then it's much more powerful then the same spec pc.. You can use the 3d hardware to do 2d very well use less ram then just blit it using a framebuffer doing it like a pc.

It seems that a good handful of the devs back then, strangely went by this porting to the dreamcast thing, the wrong way. And because of that, it makes sense as to why they encountered, so many problems.

Also, I had to go on the net, to remember what sh4 was. It was an interesting read up. And that Settlers game was on the amiga? Wow! Interesting.

Wooah! Under 2 megs? Now that is amazing! :shock:
Those devs definitely had to be tech wizards to pull that off. :D

Is the game that good? I was going to wait for the dreamcast version but if its as good as everyone says I might just grab it. I think it's like £1.50 on GOG


Heroes of the might and magic 2 was great and I still play it online today via TCP/IP - I played Heroes of the might and magic 3 a few times and it was good but not as good as 2 in my opinion.

Added online play to the dreamcast would be amazing to the catalogue of online titles

Hidden Palace has a download link, but I do not know if it is a GDI or CDI dump.

Probably with loader 0.6.1_gcc_7.1 (number 3 in @Dragoncity list).

It is not working with Loader 3, it works with 8 and 0x8ce0000 in RetroDream, but like it was said here, the cursor freezes and can not start to play
