Problem running Chankast with Mamewah
icesurf3r:
ok sorry if this is a fairly long post, but figure if i explain things a fully as possible it would help find the solution.
I downloaded chankast the other day and saved it to c:\
i downloaded the chankast wrapper and .ini file from john crouse's cpviewer website.
saved the wrapper to c:\chankast created a folder c:\chankast\images(which is where my Dreamcast game images will be saved to) installed deamon tools and set up the virtual drive.
set it up to run with mamewah in the usual way, and edited the .ini to read as below
### Sega Dreamcast.ini (mamewah v1.62) ###
emulator_title Sega Dreamcast
### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path c:\chankast\images
rom_extension cdi
dat_file
nms_file
catver_ini_file
list_generation_method rom_folder
### Execution Settings ###
pre_emulator_app_commandlines c:\program files\d-tools\daemon.exe -mount 0,"[rompath]/[name].[romext]"
emulator_commandline c:\chankast\chankastwrapper.exe{nodosbox}{safelaunch}
post_emulator_app_commandlines c:\program files\d-tools\daemon.exe -unmount 0
general_app_commandlines
### Artwork Settings ###
artwork_image_paths c:\chankast\snaps
movie_preview_path
movie_artwork_no 1
enable_fuzzy_search 0
### Screen-Saver Settings ###
enable_music_in_screensaver 0
select_random_game 0
saver_type saver_commandline
movie_path
movie_fullscreen 1
quit_delay 30
saver_commandline
### Additional Settings ###
music_path
lcd_display_file_path
### Settings used by MAMEWAH ###
current_list 0
However when i try and run a game through mamewah i get the loading screen,then a window opens up containing all the files in the image, then i get the following chankast wrapper error box pop up Syntax: chankast.exe -full path to image file and i just have to exit out of it. All files are in .cdi format and work ok through chankast independently of mamewah.
Anyhelp in getting this working would be appreciated
Space Fractal:
Chankast is absolute not cabinet friendly ay all.
You should try to use Chankast Wrapper 2.5 from the wiki:
http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Wrappers
It made by Howard...
unclet:
The chankast_launcher v1.3 wrapper by Headkaze has everything you need built in.
I am not sure if this is the main place to download it, but this is where I found it: (it is attached to the first post in the thread)
http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=752
It provides command line switches to everything you need .... including an interface to DaemonTools application through the command line.
Anyway, chankast took me 5 minutes to set up.
Howard_Casto:
It's good to have choices, but both wrappers have the same exact features except mine also controls alcohol 120%.

I do not think I tried yours .... I guess I found headkaze's first ..... I agree .. choices are nice ;D
