Edit: Could I make a request for the next game you port? How about this? It is the closest thing we will be able to get to a modern 2D Castlevania game.
Here is another great looking one.
Here you go my freind

It's going to be a lower framrate But it runs
I was asked by Anthony817 to have this running on Dreamcast . This is using Openbor IMR beta6, no menu. Its running on the Dreamcast for the first time
It will be a little slower than the pc version..
Here is the youtube link: https://youtu.be/Ebd8pP4vk8Q
This is a 2019 Openbor pc game now on dreamcast.. Now it might have problems. I have not tested a lot of the game, but I made it to the end of stage one. It will be very slow to load up the data. It does work. Once loaded, it will be fast.
Yeah sorry we should have mentioned that. He is optimizing it for Dreamcast now but might take a bit. I didn't discover it crashed until after he posted it.

Because it never unloaded sprites 1439 mapped the level is unloaded this is the pc version the dreamcast version works exactly the same. It's the sprites that are not being unmapped.. levels are being unloaded.. each level it maps more and more sprites. pc log is the same as the dreamcast log. just were not using the huge amount of ram the pc version does. I thought you might find this food for thought.. I dont know as of yet how to unmap sprites .. it's not a memory leak

Damn, I didn't even think about that being an possible issue... So is there no way to unload them from memory without a total rewrite of OBOR engine code?

I think i can limt the number mapped but i dont know if that will help. it's idea. After looking at the log on pc the dreamcast version is working correctly it seems to me. and much better not 40meg of memory for this game about 13 meg to load not 40meg.. i dont give up i will find a way.
