It's been tried before, didn't work well.

The DivX core is too cpu-intensive ... it likely will never run at above 5fps without major DC-specific hand-made optimizations.

Ok! Would it be possible for Xbox in the future?

It would be a lot easier on the X-Box then it would on the DC [The X-Box is x86 already, and it has a 733mhz processor]...

i think there is a DivX player for dreamcast, i remember posting the link here in the forums quite a long time ago but it was counted as warez so...

It's not a player, it required convesion to the dreamcast SFD format.
The conversion program itself (contrary to popular belief) is freeware... unfortunately, the only player we have is warez'd (or to be more exact, ripped from ODM, the NTSC Demo disk).

Well, these people were wrong. I just brought this up to show how much progression was put into this project.
