Title: Launching Dreamcast games
Post by: headkaze on November 02, 2005, 07:15:54 am: Hi Everyone

Just to let you know that I have written an wrapper to launch chankast the way you want from your cabinet (Full screen, auto mounting of images etc.)

Unfortunately it dosn't work with MameWah fully yet, since it dosn't launch shortcuts with command line parameters. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

EDIT: chankast is a dreamcast emulator btw

Also, hoping you will reply to my other thread about MameWah

In the documentation of AtomicFE , there is a tutorial how to configure chankast with my front end.

it uses some existing warpers. and it works.

I think it can be applied to Mamewah too.

Its not an emu, but a wrapper for an emu... go to Chanka (http://www.chanka.org/) to download the emu... then visit EmuTalk (http://www.emutalk.net/chankast/) if you need help.

EDIT: This is a damn good emu, but the compatibility can be seen on the last link. Did someone mention Soul Calibur... oh yeahhh!

Too bad... it showed such great promise.
