Snatcher (Single Game Emulated?) on DC
I am proposing a DC emu of the Sega CD game: Snatcher.
I was wondering if this could be done?

I wonder...afterall, it's not a very processor intensive game for the most part.
Actually, it even seems possible that most of the game is stored as separate data packs similar to the way Sierra Online games are, so that whast you'd really want to do is write an interpretter rather than an actual emulator. I'm not sure. I know all the speech is just CDDA. I don't have my Sega CD stuff handy to check it out, but I think it would be worth looking into.
I know that the Sega CD version of Monkey Island is playable on the Dreamcast this way using SarienDC. Perhaps Snatcher could be, too, with an interpretter of its own. The game was certainly ported around a lot in Japan, so it would have made sense for Konami to break things up into portable data packs that way.
I'd love to play Police-nauts, too. Is there really no translation for it? It's such a famous game, you'd think there'd be one.
...word is bondage...

MSX emu it?
Well, since someone posted a link to the translation, I don't see what is stopping us.
I have the Sega CD game at home, so ...
I just hope something comes of this. Others need to play this awsome as fudge game!

I've gone on the net and tracked down an MSX version of the game translated to English, though I know that it works. Tested on an MSX emu myself.
The game is in "Engrish" though, it was translated by some multicultural people.
I can e-mail said game to anyone who is willing to test it out. I myself have to get home and DL all of my CD burning software to start up making my DC emu disks again and such.
So, if you're willing, I can e-mail it to you. ;D
Granted, this would be the MSX version, so it would all be in text only, no voices. The Sega CD version was so moving for me because I could relate with the characters, the voices added another edge to the game that I couldn't find in other 16-bit games of the time. Yes, Sonic was amazing to play and it was fun, but Snatcher was amazing to play, it was fun AND it was moving!

Snatcher!
I would like that a lot too! I'm willing to help in any way, but I'm not a DC Developer. Could provide webspace though, or free drinks in Amsterdam.

I tried to burn everything yesterday and make some self booting disks. All I get is a disc that resets the dreamcast in a nice loop.
I use Nero burning ROM to make my CDs. Like I stated in a previous post, I HAVE THE MSX ENGLISH VERSION!!
Maybe we could take this and an MSX emu a step further and tweek the heck outta Snatcher on the DC. Maybe up the color content in the game a bit? Better sounds as well?
Again, I can't get ANY of the MSX emulators from the site to work on my DC. Any help?

I tried in the past to burn the MSX emulator and the English version of Snatcher using DreamInducer, but that didn't work out too well. So if anyone (I think mr. Michael should be able to do it) finds a way to make it work, please include detailed instructions for people like me. The slightly stupid.
