Someone Got Halo 1 Running on a Sega Dreamcast

A developer known as Jilted Valkyrie has got the original Halo: Combat Evolved running on Sega’s older Dreamcast console, with footage showing both campaign and multiplayer. The project is a technical demonstration of adapting a game made for the more powerful original Xbox to different hardware, and comes shortly before the 25th anniversary of Halo and Xbox.

The 28-minute video includes multiplayer on several maps, including Sidewinder, and part of the campaign’s first mission; the frame rate sometimes falls below 30 frames per second. The campaign port is reported to be 77% complete, and the developer credits Falco Girgis’s work on Dreamcast software for helping make it possible. It is not a one-to-one conversion and will include new features, including an unspecified mode; a release is expected this year.
