Steven H. ported the game Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe, an open source clone of Chris Sawyer’s Transport Tycoon Deluxe to Dreamcast.
Release notes:
So, after a few grueling weeks of screwing around with the KOS libraries (KallistOS) I managed to compile and run the latest revision of OTTD.
It’s been more of an educational experience than anything else and runs like crap [at around 70% speed] (the 200mhz SH4 CPU seems to struggle) but it’s been a lot of fun…
I have CD images in DiscJuggler format (self-booting) of the latest version but due to dependencies that don’t exist off-the-shelf I don’t think this should ever be included in the trunk… I mean, does anyone still have DC with Mouse and Keyboard?
… on that note, the controller can be used… but it’s not as much fun.

Maturion ( http://www.dcfan.net.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=1670 ) pointed me at a not before recognized release of gpspDC, a Gameboy Advance emulator for Dreamcast.
It’s based upon GPF’s work and has been continued by alex.
Grab the update and enjoy, many things do work a lot faster (but still not fullspeed).
PS: The illustration screenshot shows a commercial game in action and does not come from PDRoms. You are free to test the emulators with many many free GBA games which are freeware and directly available here. As homebrew games are usually coded in a “lighter” way there is also a big chance of having them playable in a proper and acceptable speed.
