Dreamcast emulator?
Generic Eric:
sorry about the AL gun remark. I have a lame sense of humor.
Haven't had much time to play around with this yet...
I am running windows2K, and at least the chankast boots up. Boots up in spanish - me no habla I can change the langauge, but it still boots in spanish...i haven't played with it for 2 days so I might be able to find the option.
I haven't made any images just yet & it doesn't like to read my games.
I had read that you had to use images, but curiousity drove me to try an actual disc before making any images of my own.
Has anyone else run chanka on win2K?
iamnaeth:
Question: Can Chanka take screenshots?
Request: If so, can someone make me some screenshots from Streetfighter III: Double Strike like the one attached? I can only find this one piece of art and I would like more to vectorize for use on my arcade. I'm not even sure if other animation like this is in the game? I'm looking for anything involving (Shin) Akuma, Ryu or Ken. Thanks!

Answering questions:
1. Yes it does work! And it's frikkin awesome!!! You need the PROPER bios and the flash file.
2. No original dics don't work UNLESS you rip the cd using alcohol 120%, make a self-booting iso file and reburn the new copy/mount it. There are rumors of a hacked toshiba cdrom driver that will allow your pc to see gdrom discs, but no dice yet.
3. Demon tools is a waste of time as it only allows 4 virtual drives at a time... use the virtual drive feature of alcohol 120% as it allows an infinate amount of drives and seems to have better luck mounting odd-ball dc rips.
4. No it won't run fullscreen, but if you stretch the window after the game starts you can stretch it to a maximized state with absolutely no slowdown.
5. Yes a wrapper will be made available by me. How it will work is you'll mount every single game you have on a virtual drive at once. There will be a configuration file where you give the iso name followed by the drive letter. Then you can run via the command line and I can take care of the rest :)
6. No, not soon. I'm just now getting caught up with my projects due to last minute family matters and a slight power outtage. Besides, I'm hoping we will see a new release with some of these features soon, afterall, it's only in the alphas.

Will Chankacast support imports? Or do I need another bios file? I only saw one to begin with so I am hoping the answer is no.
Howard_Casto:
yes and no... some work some don't without region specific bios. Depends upon how the rip was constructed.
