Users interested in playing the iFiction games on a Dreamcast browser may be interested in this guide which will help you save your game using the Dreamcast browser. A great site to download freeware games for use with FrotzDC is The Interactive Fiction Archive.

Information

The latest version of FrotzDC has limited support for sound effects. In order to use sound you will need to convert your audio files to wav format and put them in a folder with the same name as the game. For example, for sherlo.z5, you would have a folder named "sherlo" to contain the files. I am providing the converted audio files for Sherlock in the download section, but this does not include the z5 file, as Sherlock is a commercial Infocom game
