Downloaden kann man Giana's Return unter folgender URL:

Auf der Webseite gibt es auch Portierungen für Windows, Wiz, GP2x, Ubuntu Linux, Dingux und Mac OSX verfügbar. An einer Umsetzung für Pandora wird noch gearbeitet.
Hab' das Ganze noch nicht getestet, da meine DC atm nicht aufgebaut ist, sieht allerdings im Video recht gut aus.
//Edit:
Die gepackte Datei enthält ein CDI-Image, das mit Discjuggler (Demo-Version reicht) auf einen CD-Rohling gebrannt werden sollte (ob und welche anderen Brennprogramme auch das Format unterstützten, weiß ich nicht). Eine modifizierte Dreamcast-Konsole sollte nicht notwendig sein.
Hier noch die Readme:

_ _ ___ The Story /__
__ _________//__
/
Evil Swampy and his followers have stolen the magic ruby, which made it once
possible for Giana and Maria to return from their dream. Many creatures are
after this ruby, but does it really has power, or was it just a coincidence?
As this is not bad enough, Swampy fell in love at first sight with Giana's
sister Maria and shamelessly kidnapped her. She simply has been at the wrong
place at the wrong time.
You take over the role of Giana, get back the magic ruby and most important of
all, save your beloved sister Maria and get home save! Good Luck!

Giana is not helpless at all, just bump the star boxes with your head and hope
for a nice goodie. Also unobvious stones which can be bricked, might hold a
surprise.
Wall Breaker - Giana hairs morph into a stormy hairstyle, you now can break
regular bricks.
Thunder - Thunder's will give you the ability to shoot or increase the
shoot power. There are three strengts, indicated by the battery
icons on the top of the screen.
Clock - Catch a clock, get 20 extra seconds!
Heart - 1 UP

_ _ ___ Enemies & Bosses /__
__ ________________//__
/
The regular enemies are usually pretty weak, just as in the original game.
Most of the time it's enough to bump 'em with your feet.
Bosses are considered beeing hard, so make sure you find all bonus caves, so
you can gain 1 UP each 100 rubies. You will need them desperately!

"The Great Giana Sisters" is a trademark of "Spellbound AG", Germany. The Team
behind Giana's Return does not intend to break any copyright, but to bring a
high quality fan sequel free of charge to all Giana fans out there.
Giana's Return is known by Spellbound to exist and it seems they don't have
any major problem with this.
No one of the original team was involved in the creation of this game, beside
Armin and Manfred giving feedback on (for now) pretty old betas.
