dreamcasts do not have java, they have windows CE which is not the same thing, so no. MMF games will NEVER run on a dreamcast or naomi or atomiswave
You can have pseudo games consoles.
I've managed to get a java game running on my old XBOX 1
(you have to soft/mod the box so you can install a linux distro first)
I'm pretty sure the PS3 is more than capable of playing a java game may Also requires a linux installation before trying.
There is a java MIDP app (mobile java) for PSP (You will need to mod the PSP firmware)
Nintendo DS apparently supports Java too..
Your problem is getting the hardware to run the software in all cases
So that leaves you with BluRay :) A player that costs quite a bit and clickteam haven't yet released the dev tool for making bluray compatible apps.
Your best bet is sticking with a PC
When you make a java app/game it is compatible with any computer capable of running the java machine similar to the one installed on your PC.
Give CT some time and you will be able to run MOBILE java and then everyone with a compatible device will be able to play your games/apps any time any where.
I seem to remember reading that Planetweb 3.0 (the last DC web browser update) was itself a java app.Quote:

If it could run Java applets does that mean that it would be able to run MMF created applets?
Quite possibly!

"java alredy running on DC for years, just take a look at PlanetWeb3 browser it is just an java application, it is relatively easy change it to run your own classes. Java applets supported out of the box."
But as they say, "java is a memory hog, 16mb won't cut it." and 200MHz, theres no way anything would run at a decent speed, if would run laggy. And if it has java, that will be an old version (might not support the new MMF runtime) and will be part of the windows CE thing... Now to get that working, if I remember rightly the windows CE for dreamcase software wihout license was $5000....
The Wii has a browser, maybe that would work?
The trouble with the Wii's browser is that it deliberately has no Java support. However, I would be surprised if there wasn't a workaround eventually.
As I understand it at the moment, you can't get a J2SE runtime on any home console/handheld without pretty extensive modification. However, that's not to say it won't be possible in the future.
hmmm aren't alot of these considered hackes?
Yes.
