   Wow a response on RGVS in the same day, I'm sorry I took so long!  My   
   problem is that all of the PC ports that use WinCE have terrible   
   framerates, texture mapping and polygon counts compared to games   
   actually ported to the DC.   
      
   Some of them, Sega Rally 2 and Hidden and Dangerous in particular, are   
   my favorite Dreamcast games.  Just imagine if Sega Rally 2 ran as well   
   as Daytona Online or Hidden and Dangerous ran like Quake 3.  I can't   
   think of a well optimized WinCE game on Dreamcast actually.
