As everyone knows, Microsoft is hard at work making the best Xbox 360 games backwards compatible, and Phil Spencer (current head of Xbox division) has expressed (like many fans) that Original Xbox BC may be coming soon as well.

Microsoft helped out ALOT on the Dreamcast(co-developed the DC OS with SEGA and made a version of windows CE and Direct X compatible with Dreamcast) and gave Microsoft a ton of inspiration and ideas to make the Xbox. SEGA even supported the Xbox and despite it not happening, SEGA and M$ were in talks at one point to make dreamcast BC for the OG Xbox a thing. Anyways, it only seems fitting that Dreamcast games be made BC for Xbox, since it's almost in the same console family(DC, OGXBOX, X360, XONE).

Vote on the Xbox Uservoice site below to help convince Micrsoft into getting SEGA to make this happen!

The Dreamcast used a proprietary format for their games GD-ROM. There’s no way a Blu-ray-Drive is going to read original DC discs. Unless you’re just talking about downloadable games running on an emulator.

I just don't think the interest is there.

The Dreamcast was over 2 console gens ago, those who still want to play dreamcast games are going to want to play on an actual dreamcast.

That's how I feel anyway.

Sega should release a DC 2 with the Switch concept and directly compete with Nintendo again. They should put their entire library in an online store and make that thing BC with Dc1 (disc drive in the console docking station) :D

I voted for it, but doubt it'll happen

This was the first thing I thought.

Not to mention, I do not care one way or another. I can just turn on my Dreamcast and play whatever I want right now.
