Chankast Problems thru Maximus Arcade...
cantoochie:
I can't seem to get Chankast to work through Maximus Arcade.
At first I could not run the wrapper and I had to add library file "Comdlg32.ocx" to my system32 folder. That did the trick for running the wrapper. I have Daemon Tools lite and I know I picked the correct drive letter for the wrapper.
Now when I attempt to run Chankast through MA, my frontend, the screen just turns black. Then when I run Chankast outside of MA it shows that my plugins were switched. The default plugins which end in xxx work just fine but I think the wrapper might be changing them. How do I prevent this??
Running Chankast alpha v0.25
XP with SP2
Maximus Arcade v2.0.8

Maximus doesn't support chankast, just download nullDC. Runs way faster and supports chankast plugins to boot.

Actually, it's the opposite. Maximus Arcade's wrapper is for the Chankast. Null DC is not supported.

All I know is I love dc, and when I upgraded to the new beta, I just couldn't get chankast working again in max. I hunted and found null dc which in my opinion runs better on newer hardware. Here is the update notes on the 2.10 b2 beta.

I am enlightened! Thanks for the info. I actually tried using Chankast and could not get it running properly (The program is old as their last update was 4 years ago!).
Also, having Daemon Tools running in the background did not seem appealing to me at all. So I gave NullDC a shot and it worked fairly well, but I did not try to use it with Maximus Arcade.
So to set up NullDC, I would simply setup the Sega Dreamcast dropdown (the same one I used for Chankast) and then just point to the NullDC executable? Is that all there is too it?
Thanks again for this great info.
