OpenGGS is my humble attempt to reimplement “The Great Giana Sisters” as an easily portable Free Software/Open Source project. The goal is to stay as close to the original game as possible. However, it does not use any source code from the original games.
Dreamcast port by Indiket -

Release notes for Dreamcast:
The port has been tested on a real Sega Dreamcast hardware and it works very well, near a perfect conversion of the PC version. Also, it has been tested with nullDC and Makaron emulators with good results.
Inside this file you will find a bin folder and a src one. Use all the files of the bin folder to create a cdi image and use it with an emu or burn it.
Inside the src folder you will find the source code to compile the DC version and also the original documentation.
This game includes no hardly any graphics and sounds/music from the original games. You can add .mod music in the /base/default folder but using the same names as indicated in the audio.ini file.
The dreamcast port can save your records in the VMU. You need a VMU in A1 port and it takes 3 blocks (including the nice icon visible at bios menu).
