Fave N64 games.

Includes but not limited to: SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Game Gear and I guess the Virtual Boy.

I'm not saying that they lied. I'm just saying that somebody ripped it.

if they took the Game from dreamcast it would run like crap and they would have to re-program the game to use the N64 controller

Plainly, you've got no idea what you're talking about. To port a Dreamcast game over to the N64 you'd need the source code. Even assuming you had the source code (next to impossible since Sega will never let the source code out of Sega HQ), there's a distinct likelyhood that large amounts of code would need to be modified for the target platform, and in the case of DC->N64, major graphical compromises would need to be made. This would take a competent group of developers quite some time, and that would cost a lot of money. Since the only way that what you're talking about could ever have been produced is through the dodgy unlicensed asian black market, this too is next to impossible, and made even more unlikely by the fact that they'd still need the source code.

Your friend was winding you up, or conceivably had one of those weird SNES-N64 converter things and was playing Sonic 6 (a pirate Sonic game for SNES). This is extremely unlikely too since that Sonic cart is rarely seen outside of Brazil, and the SNES converter for N64 is pretty damn obscure.

If you're still not convinced, check the goodN64 romset. No Sonic game there.
