Cooliscool, inifinity-dc may have been insulting but then what abt HeadShotter? He totally insulted the BEST DC release group ever. I'm not into warez so don't start waving the red flag at me just yet. Without hacker crew like Dextrose and Echelon I think DC emulation would be quite a bit further back in terms of development. It all basically started with understanding DC GD-ROM format and then exploded from there........

Secondly unless you have a GDROM in your PC (I had a DC dev kit for a while neener neener :P ) I fail to see how you'll avoid Echelon's releases....LOL. So instead of hammering other users for posting opinions backed up by facts, why not just ignore them?

To be honest, Headshotter's comment was ignorant and only serves to show that he is just 'another user' who reads web reviews of warez product. I would think he would be more likely to warez the DC to death than a true fan like myself or infinity-dc ( and, no, I have no idea who infinity-dc is, nor am I his friend, I'm just a guy with another opinion)

Cheers

Mezkal

I agree that Echelon is an awesome group of people and without their efforts, dreamcast emulation probably wouldn't exist. But calling someone a dumbass over their opinion is something totally different. Infinity-dc could have simply stated (as you did) Echelon's work without adding the "dumbass" part. Anyway, lets not make it a big issue. Echelon f'ing kicks ass, and infinity-dc doesn't need to call people names. :P

[Chris_W]

TF DC never had a Zelda or we'd never hear the last of it ;) :P

[mezkal]

two points

1. Zelda Windwaker can suck my stinky nutsaq - Why? Coz it was quite possibly THE worst game I've ever played - even worse than Viewtiful Joe (and it seems another stinky sequel will follow - GC owners scare me :P) and All the Bond games combined (excepting of course Goldeneye and Everything or Nothing)

2. Cooliscool - AGREED :)

[duk]

Hello people , i'm new fan of chankast and i have some screenshots :bouncy:

# Cool Boarders Burrrn!

# Guilty Gear X

[infinity-dc]

Btw, regular CD drives can read DC disks. Theres a not so well known method using a fake TOC to trick the drive, then hotswapping to then DC disk. The tutorial is out there somewhere, and you can rip original games using it.

I have GeForce 2 mx as my video card with Pentium 4, using win xp, I was wondering if my video card is not good enough to play? I know mvsc2 and powerstone works but I can't seem to get it to work on my pc.

edit: I forgot to ask too, does anyone know what's the latest drivers that are needed for chanka?

[Aks]

I just want to confirm that tennis 2k2 echelon boots to a black screen, so we can clear up the not sure on that one

any geforce above geforce 2 i'd say would work with it, so it shouldn't have any problems, just download the latest drivers from www.nvidia.com

[TheFreeman]

Yes it should "work", just not so fast as you would expect.

Basically any GeForce/Radeon which supports TnL should work with Chankast.

[Phreaky]

Rayman 2 update, oddly enough my version didnt get an AV-Cable error (I didnt patch it)

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v299/Phreakz/rayman2-title.jpg
These two dont have the Chankast bar because I used Fraps to cap them ;)
http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v299/Phreakz/rayman2-vmu.jpg
http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v299/Phreakz/rayman2-menu.jpg
Normal: Menu GFX pretty much perfect, all menus present, sound a bit clippy
Newgfx: Menu GFX 50% Missing/Corrupted, sound still a bit clippy

Crashes when "New Game" is selected.

P~

EDIT: This is the CCS (or is that CSS?) release, may already have been Selfboot/VGA Patched.

[Phreaky]

Aqua GT CDDA + Selfboot & VGA Patch boots to a black screen on Normal & NewGFX, (not frozen, fps counter still changes)

[R00ster]

Speed Devils crashes before you can get into a menu or somethin, it gets past the sga logo but crashes after the mpeg logo.

[Chris_W]

I am very impressed with Chankast and it will be a fantastic EMulator one day but for now..

it seem no matter what Compat list you are going to do it isnt going to be correct for others...

what one says is compat isnt for someone else, what you say is fully playable, plays a bit and crashes for me...

also it seems to be missing important info on what works and what dont as in image format and if you needed to make it self boot.

I have given up trying now as i get more and more Pee'd off of reading "This Works" to find i have a crash fest :)

cant wait to the emu progresses better and i might be able to really enjoy it.

[Luka]

I tested these games with Chankast hope this comes useful to you guys :happy:

Obsidian (Sega Mega Drive Emulator): Emu boots fine goes through the menus but after loading a ROM Chankast crashes

Ridge Racer (Bleem!): Boots then crashes Chankast

Yu Suzuki Game Works: Boots then just hangs

The Typing Of The Dead: Doesnt work, black screen

Rival Schools 2 Project Justice: Boots up and loads elchelon intro then black screen

Jeffma Fighting Pack (MVSC2, CVSS2, SFA3): Doesnt boot

Jeffma Shooter Pack: Boots and goes into web browser to select game but when a game is picked to load the screen goe black

Super Speed Racing: Boots then goes to white screen

Metal Slug 2 (Neo Geo CD Emulator): Boots then got to black screen

Cheers keep up the great work!!!! :bouncy:

[Hexidecimal]

Space Channel 5 part 1
and
Space Channel 5 Part 2

Number 1 is almost flawless, runs at full speed, perfect sound, the only thing I see wrong is a slightly transparent texture on Ulala's head.

Number 2 is perfect, just slow. CLippy sound.

Add those to the list.

Hi,

Uefa dream soccer , menus work with chankast capcomhack + normal chankast (they are not visible with new_Gfx), ingame players are messed up, same with all versions of chankast ingame.


sound is fine

[rcgamer]

the game cool cool toon (japanese game) works from what i saw. didnt play very long so it may crash or something later on.

[rcgamer]

dino crisis will boot up and play the video after you choose your game unfortunately when the first mission actually starts it crashes.
to make it boot i used the program from here http://www.intergate.com/~bigjoeroy/imginfo.exe
and opened the dino crisis image
check the vga box
save
now right click the dino crisis image file and open it with the program that made it (ie nrg open with nero burning rom, cdi open with discjuggler) or you can open the program that created it and choose burn image. and burn the image to a cdr . when its done you can play on chanka from the cd or you can make another image from the cd. you cant just use the modified image or you will (most times) get the io control error.
this also works for cool cool toon. and probably several other that get the av cable error.
hope it helps some of you.

Thanks for your reply guys, I'll give it a go and see what happens.

[Aks]

made soul reaver today, game ran weird..the fps was fine but moving seemed to take forever. the sound is rather irritating(bad bitrate?..) but works.

Here's some screens

I didnt really test it to see if it crashed...he ran so slow I didnt really want to go further..lol

I'll post back later if I get bored

[Sultan]

Patched Chu Chu Rocket to selfboot. It works but is not playable.
There's no music (CDDA) Menu's are hard to navigate. Once you get in game, there is nothing on the playing field. The intersting thing is that it's not just a clipping issue with the background hiding stuff. As soon as you tell it to run the level, you win because there are no mice! Very intersting error :)

[Hero]

Thanks for your reply guys, I'll give it a go and see what happens.


Woohoo! it worked! :bouncy: Thanks guys! I guess it was the drivers afterall, although it is going slow as expected of a geforce 2 mx :plain:
any ideas how I can make it faster?

edit: sorry about repeating the fps speed question, I know about the Speed pig from the chanka utilities but it's not really helping. I guess I'll have to wait for the next version like others.

thanks man i'll try with my code veronica pal version that gives the av problem ;)

[posty_2k3]

Actually, as i stated in the patching ur VGA games thread, you can use that modified images. Let me find a quote from it.

I just got soul calibur to work. No burning, nothing. Use the app found here -> http://www.intergate.com/~bigjoeroy/imginfo.exe and make sure you check VGA box after you open your ISO/CDI/NRG/whatever. Then, download THIS version of Daemon tools -> http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/download.php?mode=Download&id=27 and install it. After you check VGA in that app, load the game to Daemon's virtual drive and check all the emulation options (like safedisc, etc). No iocontrol errors, and no vga error. It goes right ingame :D

[MOCAS]

Just wanting to say that using daemon 3.29 solved all my ioerror problems.
Thanks posty_2k3

I checked up on this earlier, the menu corruptions are confirmed on both versions, but on mine the levels start fine, its just the in game graphics have transparency and a few other problems the make it quite hard to play (i.e directional arrows not appearing for a second or two after being placed, regardless of framerate, plus some other minor errors)

P~

Very weird. On my version the arrows are the only thing on the field that work fine! I'm going to try and redo the selfboot patch, try a different method and see if that has any issues. I have to be able to play my favorite game! :P

[mezkal]

Sultan I would recommend that you try changing your region first (either by hexediting the DC BIOS ) or by using the convinient Chankast Utils interface (but DO NOT EVER run speedpig) available in the Sticky threads here. I noticed that when I switched to NTSC/US my copy of SC ran MUCH smoother with far fewer errors on screen. I think that Chankasts emulated framebuffer and consequent refresh rate/pixel redraw can be affected by this region setting. IE NTSC/JP/US - 60Frames/sec PAL/EU/AU - 50Frames/sec. Maybe I'm way off here but my results seem to match my theory. (Don't they all?! LOL)

Cheers,

Mezkal

[rcgamer]

blue submarine no6: time and tide seems to work well. this is a japanese game based off an anime series. maybe slight graphics errors. didnt check it to far sooooo.

Wow! That's a rare title....Nice anime tho :) It looks....right.....

I'm more and more impressed by this emu everyday :)

[rcgamer]

heres another one to add to the list. fur fighters . it boots up fine but there are many graphic glitches.

[neopb19]

Does Anyone knows how to start <b>Ecco The Dolphin</b> ? I have good ISO , Selfboot version with 2 sessions recorded and when I want to start game with chankast, it is boot audio cd bios version with 2 tracks to select and play... :( ...

please, help me/Us... :)

greetings/neopb19

[Drunkard]

neopb19, I have the same problem too ive burned 2 coasters so far i just think its a bad iso, if you got it from the same place as i did ;)

it wont even work in the dc..

PS: it might have been better to start a thread and ask elsewhere than on this thread.

[rcgamer]

another game, silver. boots and plays for a while. graphics crash but sound continues. looks very nice(at least until it crashes). heres a screen. i only tested with original chankast . ill test with the other two in a sec.

/edit/ yeah, it crashes on all versions.

[Waan2k]

Few Screens of Dave Mirra BMX :)

Dave Mirra runs quite well with sound, but ingame the sound stops for me.

[Waan2k]

Here's Revolt :)

notes: the game runs ok,no sound in game, and there are quite a few bugs as you can see.

[rcgamer]

the nfl 2k2 that i have shows the intro video then crashes.

[Stezo2k]

thanks guys, will be a lot of work remaking the list when 0.2 comes out :)

Oh well, can't wait to test it heh. Working games in 0.1 will not be removed, if a game only plays in 0.1, it will be stated when observation is made.

Games in the unplayable section, I will probably delete them, and readd them once they have been tested, either that or I will keep them in that section until they have been tested in 0.2

cheers guys

[Waan2k]

sounds good Stezo2k, I look forward to contributing :)

Ohhh I just creamed my .... :P

[Waan2k]

Well here's my first post with Chankast 0.2

and guess what it runs now :)

[Waan2k]

This new Emu kick so much ass :)

My fav Import Wrestling game is working ;)

[Waan2k]

Stezo2k add these to your list as working with few graphics errors :)

[ray16]

It's cool that Soul Caliber works now, but is the character select screen totally black for anybody else? I have to blindly pick a character but it works great in-game.

[Klesk24]

Apparently, DOA2 LE still isn't working... gets past the sega screen and then freezes. tried both versions, old and new gfx... anyone get different results?

Other than that, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 , project justice, and soul calibur all play fast and smooth till the end with no crashes. probably wanna use the old gfx version with mvc2 cuz I did get slow-downs during gameplay....

edit:

graphics were cleaned up to near perfect in mvc2, some clipping remains in project justice, and graphical glitches in soul calibur still remain. All except mvc2 run faster with the new gfx version.

[Guru64]

Same here :(

[cooliscool]

It isn't black for me, but it's not correct (damn geforce problems. Green background and character photos look distorted :yucky: At least I can pic a character :D).

[jdsony]

Regular Dead or Alive 2 works great. It's a little slower than most of the other games but the graphics are really near perfect.

The Utopia bootdisk runs now but it doesn't boot anything if I switch disks.

San Francisco Rush 2049 goes through the menus but freezes before racing.

Looney Tunes Space Race works really well but the characters are all yellow instead of being textured.

[kurni]

just to say
ggxx is now glitches free and i have finish the arcade mode
whereas in 0.1 it hanged after a battle
same thing for daytona it doesn't hang anymore :)

[MAD_BOY]

DOA2 --> no glitches found (yet), runs almost at full speed (25/30 fps)
Ikaruga --> slowdown at the beginning of a chapter, no glitches found (yet)
StuntGP --> works great, text that comes in the memorycard menu is a bit transparent

tested on:
p4 @ 3Ghz
512mb ram
Ati Radeon 9800 pro

[cooliscool]

Here's a shot of Soul Calibur's character select on a GeForce. Now someone post a shot on a Radeon.. :P

[Klesk24]

Regular DOA2 and not the LE you say? Will give it a try as soon as I get it... what's the difference between the two versions featurewise anyways?

Also, are you using a cd image or an actual cdr in drive?

[ray16]

Nevermind, it works. For some reason there's a delay, I let it sit there for a few seconds and the character screen appeared. It's a bit ugly though. Ah well, it looks great in-game so who cares?

[cooliscool]

VMS Browser and Gamefaqs is your friend. :evil:

Ray: At least yours looks better than mine, damn GeForce.. oh, and I don't get the delay for some reason, it's instantly there. Hm, get some you lose some I suppose. :P

[Stezo2k]

guess what i've got working slowly :)

[kurni]

:D

[MAD_BOY]

i was bored, so i made some DOA2 screenies (38 :P), have fun :D

Right heres my testing results, only a couple of games

Phantasy Star Online: Same problems as on 0.1
F355 Challenge: now hangs on the sega logo instead of AV error
Dead Or Alive 2 LE: same as F355
Super Street Fighter 2X: Playable same as 0.1 but background graphical errors much worse.

[R00ster]

Virtua Fighter 3TB
http://mitglied.lycos.de/rohenx/Virtua.jpg
It works , but the sound repeats itself in the menu, not in the fight.
To prevent stupid questions, after the sega logo the screen gets black, you have to push a button to go on.

I´ve got 25fps stablewithout tweaking(like setting the priority higher)
My System : 2,2 Athlon XP 512MBRam and a Geforce 4200 with 64mbs memory.

Speed Devils
http://mitglied.lycos.de/rohenx/speed.jpg
It works but you cant see the ingame menus(tried both versions)
And there is a little controll problem with my analog stick, when i change the direction the camera changes too.
The game is too fast, i guess the frame counter dont works right, maybe its supposed to be 120 fps.

[MAD_BOY]

found something in doa2, when you get to the score board, you get the background like the sniper in silent scope looked in 0.1

[yop]

utopia boot cd, allows you to eject an insert a new disc while in utopia screen, boot the cd inserted ( not always ), but not the game I tried didn't booted

[R00ster]

Shenmue 1

It works almost perfect, to avoid graphical glitches on the main character turn on zwrite and alpha test zwrite (options-->configure video)

http://mitglied.lycos.de/rohenx/shenmue.JPG

And here a game not in the list:
- Ferrari Challenge, hangs at sega screen

[Ble_Man]

Ikaruga : works at about 35 to 40 FPS, major slowdown when levels end, minor graphical glitches in the menus, there are also two bars showing on the sides when ingame that shouldn't be there.
Capcom vs SNK 2 : 35 to 40 FPS, although there's a rotating level that was much slower (about 25 FPS on average). Graphical glitches on the sprites.

I'm running an AMD XP 2600+ with 512MB DDR and a Radeon 9600.

For me, Capcom v/s SNK 2 runs almost perfect (50 - 60 fps), slow down is in the rotating level (40 fps).

Pentium 4 2400, 128 Mb RAM, Geoforce4 MX440 AGP 8x

[Heinster]

-Well SFIII third strike runs on allmost full speed now... Layer glitches are gone but other glitches in the characters remain but I can live with those

-Guilty Gear X lost it's layer glitches and gained some speed (still a tiny bit slow)

-Puzzle fighter,psyvariar2 and Ikaruga are playable with a joypad

- VF3TB and SoulCalibur now work but are a bit slow (even on my P4 3GHz 1GB ATI 9800)

And everything is far more stable :)

post looks a little weird after second thought, sorry fo making ppl have to root thru pictures but I went in a alphabetical listing, hope you can all deal with that

Enjoy - Aks

It's cool that Soul Caliber works now, but is the character select screen totally black for anybody else? I have to blindly pick a character but it works great in-game.
it's black for me too, but i can't even pick a character, it just goes black and hangs. i tried patching the image with ipbin4win, imginfo, selfboot batch file, tried running it from both of my cd drives, tried using 2 different cd-rws, tried mounting the image with daemon tools 3.29, daemon tools 3.43, alcohol %120 1.9.2, all with and without emulation options turned on, tried all versions of chankast, but nothing helped, it just goes black and hangs. oh well, must be something with my karma :)
nevertheless, i just love this emulator and i'm so happy that this is happening! :bouncy:
grrrreat job, guys!

Perhaps we should try to create a dynamic version of the compatibility list, where users can submit entries to a database? Should be much less work...

[The Siskoo]

It seems 2 lists (Ati users and NVidia users) will be usefull. Now, maybe with alpha 0.2 there are no difference between ATI and Nvidia graphics cards.

actually, that sounds a good idea mate, but quite a few rules would need to be added to it to stop spoofing or the same game added twice, that could be hard work too.... but its up to you :)

Problem with that though is what works for some dont work for others Marty.

what would be good would be to know the actual file that works and what dont etc.

"Game Name" "Region" "Format Self or Not Boot" "Image Extention" "Exta Info"

[refraction]

[QUOTE=Chris_W]Problem with that though is what works for some dont work for others Marty.[QUOTE]


well what you could do is have say a poll thing within a game if its already added, so you got 3 options

Works For x people
Patially Works for x People
Doesnt Work for x people

and have a comments thing at the bottom, so people can say what problems they had.

[mezkal]

"Game Name" "Region" "Format Self or Not Boot" "Image Extention" "Exta Info"

Don't know if I can agree with you there. For one thing anyone can make a disc image. So file tracking could be kinda redundant and overly annoying. The reality is that all it comes down too is knowing the GAME the REGION and its RELEASE (with possibly some extra info such as "Z-Write ON" etc. Some ripped games will run OK, some won't, due to the rip doing things that the emu can't track or emulate yet. Carrier, for example, was a DC launch title and it used the same engine as Blue Stinker (:P) . BS Loads, Carrier IO's out (yes for me too). I would say that's the rip myself because it was one of the first and probably a bit a dodgy kludge. Just an edjucated guess going on here. If so, then possibly another rip needs to be found or a fresh one needs to be made.

[yop]

Dino Crisis, works great with chankast 0.2
in some zones speed is 2x faster than normal

[posty_2k3]

Soul Calibur runs perfectly. Just had to underclock the SH4 CPU a bit, and it ran beautifully.

[Turbohao2]

I have tested Virtua Fighter 3,and it works completely
to the end,i had no crashes

[mustangmikeb]

Super Street Fighter 2 X Grand Master Challenge for Matching Service works.

[Pimp]

im getting ioerrors with the new o2a alpha.

some that was working ok

[mezkal]

Wow, that's some detailed feedback Pimp. Don't go into any more detail. Please. The screenshots and LIST of the games that you have that no longer work in 'o2a alpha' (What is that exactly?) is more than enough really.

:P

But really you could have summed it up so eloquently with just

"some that was working ok"

Oh wait....you did that! Silly me :P

Mezkal

[lenselijer]

Here are my results with the new version + screens

vigilante 8 - menus are mostly black, but ingame is good!
buggy heat- menus are scrambled, but ingame is nice!
qbert - crashes the emu
alien front online - black screen
bang! gunship elite - crashes the emu
bangai-o - whole gamec only shows half of the screen, shows title screen and then it plays the game demo (with huge graphics bugs), black screen when you go ingame
mtv skateboarding - hangs after intro movie
mars matrix - crashes the emu after echelon intro
nhl 2k2 - crashes the emu after echelon intro
sega smash pack - works fine (slow although)
sno cross - crashes the emu
star wars power battles - works fine!

[Klesk24]

did anyone get notice more texture corruption in 0.2a? I played through project justice on 0.2 with near flawless graphics, and replayed on 0.2a, and got some texture weirdness on a few character models... however, this version is more stable than the previous... just thought I let you know....

[Aks]

yeah, my thps2 has alot more transparency now it's alot harder to play it

[posty_2k3]

Yea, thps2 does have problems, so i use the old_gfx exe that contains the old gfx core, making it more playable ;)

[Aks]

duh... can't believe I didnt think of that, thanks!, oh and I did the puyo puyo bios picture change check it out :P
http://members.rogers.com/j.aks/images/PuyoBios.JPG

[Waan2k]

yeah it seems when I underclock the SH4 a bit it improves the Speed a bit :)

[jareg]

Okei a little my testing

Grandia 2-Goes into the menu but then when i push start it crashes :(
RE-CV-Otherwise great but sound problems when you play a little bit :)
Ikaruga-A lot faster then before but some gfx problems
Skies Of Arcadia-Didnt boot (The echelion pack)
DOA2 Limited Edition-Crashes after Sega logo
Soul Calibur-Runs great almost full speed with some gfx glitches in vs screens

[Waan2k]

yeah Ikaruga is a lot faster for me gets to 70 fps sometimes, but when bosses and stuff come around it goes to about 30 fps

[posty_2k3]

Well, DOA2LE works. Just look through this thread http://emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=21191 and get everything he says you need to make it work (akito or sumtin is his name) Well, heres my pics.

[Stezo2k]

a few new working games:

virtua striker 2 & evil dead

[ThunderGod65]

klesk24, may i ask for the files names of your Project Justice and how u manged to play it? I have the game but when i load it, it goes to Now Loading screen then back to the bios page again....if it possible, can u tell me how u burn that game? I burn mine using the bin2boot methond

[MAD_BOY]

just tested sonic adventure 2, it works on full speed, but sometimes there's a glitch that makes the screen black for a sec

[Chrono-Hunte]

Finished Testing DoA2:LE JAP and its Marvles. Finished Soul Calibur USA Ver and its working good. Tested Zomibie Revange and Tokyo Bus Guide JAP all works fine.

[sham]

mortal kombat gold still crashes the emu on 0.2a

[MAD_BOY]

bleh, i keep testing too much
anyway,
namco museum --> menu runs great, games run too fast, but when i set the cpu to 285, they work at normal speed

[lenselijer]

army men sarges heroes - works fast, but ingame is pretty buggy. Sometimes your character disappears. Use the old gfx version of chankast to get ingame graphics!
atari anniversary edition - mmu not supported (chankast 0.1) and crashed the emu (chankast 0.2a)
90 minutes football - echelon intro crashes the emu :(
pen pen tricelon - crashes emu
sega extreme sports - black screen
sports jam - crashes emu
wacky races - you only see half of the screen and when ingame there are heavy graphics errors which make it impossible to play.
nba hoopz - crashes emu
soul fighter - vey playable, only some minor graphical errors in the background.
south park rally - sound seems to work, but you only see some stars in the top of the screen

[Waan2k]

nice screens there lenselijer I'll post some soon too :)

[MAD_BOY]

just doen with testing crazytaxi 2, haven't found any problems, ran at full speed i'll get some screenies of the games i tested later this day

[neopb19]

<b>Ecco the Dolphin</b> has big graphic glitches ingame ... Nearest enviroment is beatiful but far i didn't see anything.

It's so great game... maybe in 0.3 it will be fully plyable...? :D

Here is the pic - with graphic glitches when I want to see far enviroment, and without graphic problems whan I'm near the rocks ;)

[Phreaky]

Dont know if these have been done yet, all on 0.2 (not a);

Chu Chu Rocket : Works flawlessly, a sound blip every so often, entriely playable.

Red Dog: Graphics overlay problems, also when you get hit and the red dog flashes white, it stays white until you restart. Missing firing sounds.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver : Runs ingame ok, some odd texture effects like the portal symbols appearing fragmented on steps,walls, everywhere, etc. Some missing sound effects (same as Red Dog)

More to come.

P~

[Waan2k]

yeah just been playing with Street fighter 3 Double impact and it get's to the Capcom logo and then drops but to the bios screen.

anyone have any luck with getting this game working?

[Stezo2k]

gundam online: works but ingame, menus etc arn't shown

[Martin]

I spoke to Bobbi earlier today, and they have a very nice compatibility list over at NGEmu, though far from as large as ours. Perhaps we should submit our entries to that database, and make it the "official" comp list? Just an idea, seems a bit useless with more than one comp list. :)

tennis: players invisible
powerstone 2 :chashed emulator here im play 5 rounds and crash

[OzTm]

While playing Resident Evil Code: Veronica I noticed that sometimes the sound gets disabled, and you have to restart the emu to get it back on. Usually you get only the music at first, with no footsteps, zombies sound or voices, and in the next room you enter everything is muted. To regain sound you have to save, exit, start again and load.

System specs:
AMD Athlon XP 1800+

Are you using 0.2a, cuz I managed to beat the game (powerstone 2) in arcade mode using it. (Had the same problem as you when using 0.2, but it went away after using 0.2a)

[Klesk24]

klesk24, may i ask for the files names of your Project Justice and how u manged to play it? I have the game but when i load it, it goes to Now Loading screen then back to the bios page again....if it possible, can u tell me how u burn that game? I burn mine using the bin2boot methond

I am using a cd image mounted by daemon tools. No burning. I'm using the echelon release image(with the echelon intro and all)

[posty_2k3]

Sega GT WORKS! When it seems like its frozen on a black screen, keep on hitting + and - on the keypad CONTINUOUSLY. This will make it go past the load screens and menus, but once it displays and fmv or a hint of 3d, it runs full speed :D Here's my pics (as u can see on the menu, the fps is out of 0, so thats y u need to do + and - to skip the frames and continue on)

Blue Stinger:crashes after intro movie

[Waan2k]

damn Ive been playing around with Blue Stinger too and no luck :(

oh well next release it might become playable :)

[TheFreeman]

Well, I noticed something weird (or not so weird), if you run SOUL CALIBUR from an actual CD, the framerate drops considerably, no matter how you over or underclock the SH4. When playing SC from an IMAGE mounted on a virtual drive (latest daemon-tools for me), I get 45/50 fps, while from the CD I get 29/40 fps.

Anyone else has found this with SOUL CALIBUR, or other game?

[Aks]

duuuuhhh, its running from cd, sorry to be a prick, but c'mon! think

[NiteMare]

grandia 2 freezes at loading now.

[mezkal]

duuuuhhh, its running from cd, sorry to be a prick, but c'mon! think

Look, I'm not trying to be insulting, but what does your comment add to the information here? If Freeman pointed out the fact that he gets extra fps (as I do) using a CD-Emulation layer such as Daemon-Tools then he did. Oh and I wasn't running from a REAL CD either. So I can back up his point of view.

The overhead in buffering a file from the HDD as opposed to a CD (which is 100x slower) is going to have less of an impact on the machine overall which in turn means more CPU power for the gfx and sound elements of the Chankast emulation engine.

If you're not going to add anything to conversation then why not just read instead of posting nonsense!

EDIT : AKS, the point of my post is to show the difference between trying to INFORM people as opposed to INSULTING them. You obviously feel that everyone should be at the same level of knowledge as you purport to be. Experience shows me that arrogance generally reflects the need to compensate. Feeling a little out of your depth perhaps?

[Aks]

ummm, if you haven't noticed I have posted alot of information in this thread, and also ITS OBVIOUSLY GONNA RUN SLOWER BOOTING FROM CDS, cya,

aerowings isnt all black anymore . looks pretty good but needs further testing.

aerowings 2 also looks good though not perfect .wierd text errors. more testing heres a pic

virtual fighter 3 tb works really nice, only one thing i can see wrong really is on durals face/feet its sometimes transparent (also the black border during replays are a lil shifted down but thats all) :bunny:

Amen to you, Mezkal. Thanks for your answer.

Aks, it is kinda sad to write just a bunch of letters, and then call them "sentences", just the same as its pretty useless to write a bunch of words, and call them a "post". Good night, and happy new year.

There is so much info on this board so it's easy to overlook something... There are far more stupid questions being asked and still people take the time to respond properly, you should try it too sometime it's better for your social skills.

got virtua tennis 2k2 working..
graphics are pretty nice with some glitches
sound skips alot
but worst of all... controls dont work after serve :(

tried to attach some pics, dont know if it working or not

[rcgamer]

how did you get it working?

[real-me]

how did you get it working?
it's not the echelon rip..
this one doesn't have an intro, so it boots nicely

[rcgamer]

star wars demolition says compatible but when i try it it gets through the intro video and when it asks if you want to save no matter what you choose it seems to just crash.

[Heinster]

Soul Reaver works... But although the framerate is at 60 it still moves in slowmo (or is the game supposed to move slow?) also his moves miss the lighting fx and apart for the speaking in the intro you can't hear the talking ingame with the gamegrfx...

[BlackNinja]

[Aks]

Shenmue 2 - Jeffma English Speech CD1 works great, english speech and all, but there is a sound glitch with this throbbing high pitch(maybe it's the music) I tried to get into the menu to change the music but the menu doesnt show(could be my nvidia) I'm going to try it in the old gfx, and I'll edit my post later if I get further into it

[Heinster]

Works full speed here, albeit on 0.2 not 0.2a, still has the missing sound fx though :/

Well like I said it runs at 60fps..... So is he supposed to run slow???

[Phreaky]

Well like I said it runs at 60fps..... So is he supposed to run slow???

Well, I guess he kinda looks slow when running. If you get him to jump or do the side-swipe attack it should look pretty much full speed.

Although, I had some really awful texture glitches yesterday, in the cave you begin in, run all the way to the first portal, then run all the way back, and the floor was tiled in black and white symbols, and huge plain red & black floor plates, looked very strange. Ill post a screenie in a while.

Capcom Vs. SNK Pro works at full speed on chankast 0.2a

[rcgamer]

Evolution works. slight graphics errors. pics.

[Avalanch]

I have tested that games in v0.2a:

- International Track & Field: Works, graphic glitches in menus (player selection, etc). Not too fast during game (25-35 fps).

- Illbleed (USA): Works, slow when many buildings in screen. Note: Don't hang after intro!!

[rcgamer]

evolution 2 works as well. it takes longer after you get past the boot screens to start. just wait a few seconds and it will start. minor graphics errors.

[KMFDManic]

Godzilla Generations and Godzilla Maximum Impact both work great. Maken X also works. Luckily I figured out how to make it self boot without having to burn it...You need a 90 minute cd to burn it...LOL...No stores in my area even sell those...They only sell 80 minute ones. I was able to get Sega Extreme Sports to load, but it has sound, and no picture...Hopefully the reason the graphics aren't displaying can be figured out soon enough...It is one of my absolute fave dc games. Anyone try to run 4 Wheel Thunder on the latest Chankast version...? I would love it if that game is supported. If anyone cares to see pictures of the games that I got working, just post for me to...And, I will reextract the games and take some snaps...:) Note, if you happen to download an iso that goes to the cd screen but says its self booting...Try using alcoholsoft to convert it to a clone cd image...then remounting the newly converted image...I've found in many cases, this is all it takes to get the games to run...In some other cases, you can make sure you use alcoholsoft instead of daemon...It is a bit weird...But, it almost seems like every single game has its own special protocol to run properly...It is just a matter of determining all of the tricks.

i've been on testing spree lately, so here's my whole list (i probably have some posted before, some may have changed cause i found some bugs)
Ikaruga --> no problems found, except that it's missing the black stuff at the side
StuntGP --> the screen where you buy parts for your car is totally messed up
Silentscope --> sniper not usable
Virtuastriker 2 --> music hangs and grass is missing in the intro movie, no other problems found
Sonic Adventure 2 --> sometimes the screen turns black for a sec, can't see the shadow of king boom boo (knuckles boss)
Crazytaxi 2 --> some traffic is transparent
Dead or Alive 2 -->sometimes the eyes glitch, so you only see a red spot
Capcom vs SNK 2 --> some 2d glitches with the characters
Sega smashpack vol.1--> games run slow and virtua cop2 freezes chanka when you choose it
Tony hawk's pro skater 2 --> major glitches on the normal version, almost no glitches on the old gfx version
Jet grind radio --> big graffiti not avaible, somehow it doesn't get the data to do it
Namco museum --> menu works great, games run too fast, overcloack the cpu to a high number

[Waan2k]

nice screens lenselijer, and thx for compatiblity Info on games guys :)

[KiniKo]

virtua tennis 1 and 2.

Still slow 4 now...

[Yin]

I've only tested three games, and they all run fine, except for them all being slightly slow.

Jet Grind Radio - Has some texture errors on characters during two(?) challanges. Beat looks quite scary with Gums textures. o_o
Making your own graffitti dosn't work, it dosn't show up in-game. Otherwise, everything is fine, and it's just a little bit slow. I've played until the final stage.

Project Justice - The big guy has a face on his knee. Also scary. Other than that, it works perfectly, although in slowmotion.

Power Stone - Havn't tested it as much as the other two, but seems to work fine. Slow.

Game: Capcom vs SNK pro, (NTSC/JAP) (Eurasia)
Chankast version: Alpha v0.2a with Capcom Hack, AlphaTest ZWrite and ZWrite enabled.
Bios: American
Play tested: for about 10-20mins
Working: Seems to be working perfectly (except the character portrait while fighting is misplaced), have yet to see any graphical errors. Fps averages of 50-60. Sound seems to be perfect.

Game: Marvel vs Capcom 2 (NTSC/USA)
Chankast version: Alpha v0.2a with Capcom Hack, AlphaTest ZWrite and ZWrite enabled.
Bios: American
Play tested: 5-10mins
Working: Seems to be working perfectly, sound gets muffled a little but that can be easily fixed with pressing start or pausing and un-pausing the game. Fps averages of 45-55. Previously known that this game crashes at the end of or before the 4th match.

Game: Street Fighter 3 3rd strike (NTSC/USA?)
Chankast version: Alpha v0.2a with Capcom Hack, AlphaTest ZWrite and ZWrite enabled.
Bios: PAL (Spanish)

Chankast version: Alpha v0.2a with Capcom Hack, AlphaTest ZWrite and ZWrite enabled.
Bios: American
Play tested: 15-20mins

So, I tried Shenmue 2 because I couldn't finish the first game... but, there is the same crash at Shenmue 2, but at the beggining of the game, when Wong gives Ryo's bag back to him, and he goes to Wang Chai...

Ah! I just have seen Shenmue's screenshots here... those last 3 are from the end of the game, no?? Didn't u have the crash I have mentioned before???

[ScOr_311]

the 3 last shots have been make with the passeport and a cleared file (use vms browser).

Hi

I have obtained Spawn and am using chankast 0.2a however, when the game loads I can navigate to the menu but then the input seems to stop working

What I mean is, I cannot select any of the options in the menu so I cannot get ingame!!

System Specs:
AMD Athlon XP2000+
Giga-Byte GA-7VA Mobo
512Mb DDR333
Geforce4 Ti4200
Microsoft Sidewinder (game port)!

Thanks for any help you could give!

StuMcBill


sounds very similar to my old system before i upgraded it :) anyway as for spawn, make sure that you map the buttons from the d-pad, not the analouge, spawn uses the d-pad

[dreamer]

skies of arcadia - runs at a stable 25 frames, some graphics glitches in some areas, if you press A to go to menu, and return to game it will crash.
you can't get past about the half hour mark, once you get to control the ship its real glitchy, and one random battle in the sky will cause it to crash to a black screen. (shall have to try again, may have been random crash, but i doubt it!). still, its very impressive and i shall be looking forward to the next chanka update and hope for some more stablility! =]

this version was tried on the chanka 0.2 alpha version.

hi could you tell me what version of sky of arcadia do you have?

[dreamer]

hi could you tell me what version of sky of arcadia do you have?

yeah sure, it's the ntsc version, to be honest i think not many people have this version. almost everyone have the echelon rip, which as you all know doesnt run as of yet. damn intro.

Thanks for the reply, but I tried that!!

It also doesn't accept input from the actual buttons either!!

Well, managed to beat REZ I think... but endgame seems to put emulator in a continuous loop....

[SPOILER]
after boss is destroyed and the polygon lady rebuilt everything flashed white, there was music, but after the music stops, the screen remained white with no key response whatsoever... emulator was still running with fps going up and down... wireframe showed a big X across the screen...

[dreamer]

update on skies - it runs almost perfect with the old graphics version. i managed to find a way of sailing without random battles too, which crash at the moment, however on entering pirate isle it crashes too, i really need some vms saves for this game to try other areas, anyone know of where i could find any besides gamefaqs?

dreamer

[refraction]

Update needed on PSO ver 2, seems you have to have Zwrites and Alpha Z Writes on for best performance, seems to sort out what should be in front and what shouldnt be, altho you occasionally get solid blue circles occasionally, its suppose to be lens flare. But still, i think that can be excused for use of the menu :P

Sonic Adventure Runs Great!

[dreamer]

great pics ProjectX :)

i know this is a compatibility topic and not a screen shot topic, but i cant help but post a few more, i got a little further on skies, it looks sweet! and plays at full speed with other applications open too, even though i only have 256 mb ram.

i think i'll post the pics on the pics section (would seem the logical thing to do) but i'll slap one on here, cutlass fury!!

Street Fighter 3: Works perfect, although slow on my computer (Like every other game I've tried... Seems like my computer isn't all that fast). The only graphical error is the colors on the fighter portraits during fights. There is also a sound-hangup at the end of the round. But that's all.

[KMFDManic]

A few pics of Godzilla Generations in action on chankast...The game plays almost perfectly...The only glitches are those that were in the original DC Gd-rom...I apologize for the size of these pics...Next time I will make them smaller...

strange... doesn't work here, i'm pretty sure mines the echelon release too

[yop]

Omikron, The Nomad Soul, fully playable, lots of glitches

tip: if you want to see all the screen, you'll need to resize the chankast window before launching "RUN GD-ROM" and you'll have a screen like 16/9, otherwise you'll see only half of the screen :party:

[Guru64]

I have tested two games not listed yet:

Trickstyle: Working, but how the fuck do you move with your character?
PlanetWeb 3.0: Maybe my ISO is corrupt, but it asks twice for the date and goes to the BIOS then. If you choose 'Play', it will ask twice for the date again. Do not try this, it corrupts your vms.bin and/or dc_flash.bin

[scyphe]

While booting, it halts (0.2a, both normal and old_gfx) resulting in a constant black screen and fps doubling to a constant 110fps.

[scyphe]

The game boots, but there's no sound (except a very disturbing beep occasionally on the first screen before selecting game) and it's very slow, 23fps on my system. Graphics looks ok with the both zwrite and alpha z-select.

Maken X works absolutely perfectly on an ATI video card...But, it is unfortunately, quite unplayable on a Geforce card...Being that I have both an ATI and Geforce, it is easy for me to notice the differences between the two...Generally, games with clipping issues, work much better and more effectively on an ATI...

[jareg]

Skies Of Arcadia (Not the Echelion Rip)
Works great some slowups are int the videos and in the sound
The game is playable but with 1 problem if i go to the inventory and try to get back in the game there will only be a black screen
But still works great :bouncy:

someone with games and a nvidia graphics card let me know how it works, i have a

NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X

..*wonders if anything will work with card*...


Dreamer, I had (still have but no longer use) a Geforce4 Ti 4200 AGP4X and it worked with Chankast fine. I would engcourage you to install a more recent driver - 61.36 is lates WHQL'd version. Also look out for 3D-Analyze - you can tweak settings to make Chankast use it as a Radeon 9600 if need be.

Cheers,

Mezkal

PS : I declined replying to that post coz I felt any further discussion was unnecessary. Yes I have strong views on Emulation and Piracy but that does, and yes I certainly may go off at times (due to frustration, not a lack of composure I can assure you) but that not discount the validity of my point of view.

[StuMcBill]

You can make Chankask use a Ti4200 as a Radeon 9600?!?

Am I missing something here?

[jareg]

You can make Chankask use a Ti4200 as a Radeon 9600?!?

Yes 3d-Analize is a program that can do that
You can even make a application think thatr you have a Ati radeon 9800 pro :)

few bugs for shenmue:
-no backround pictures during ryo's dreams.
-Ryo is transparent the day, but normal the night(!)
-the 2D arcade games makes Chankast crash
-can't hear any music just noise.
-sometime textures are not in the right place...
except that Shenmue is still Shenmue...and that's amazing

Too bad both games suck much ass :P Oratorio Tangram had about as much to do with the arcade version of VirtuaOn 2 as Pacman's Adventures in Time relates to the original Pacman game. not..much... As far as I know Yu also didn't have a hand in the DC version of VF 3 TB. If I'm wrong and he did, would someone please explain exactly what drugs he was on at the time. Must've been E. Coz the next morning he must've looked at the screen and said "I...loved....that?!"

Macross m3 works . runs ok. looks like it needs fog or something.

Actually it looks like the Z- Buffering is wrong. The HUD is Behind the horizon. Try playing with the Z-Write and AlphaTest Z-Write settings in the Vide section of the Options menu.

[CrazyYatta]

Hm. I tried this weird little game. Works, but when u get to the game, everythings hidden under the grass. So, u cant see the Golem or the king, or anything for that matter. I'd say its pretty unplayable at the moment.

[CrazyYatta]

I tried the Jeffma KOF 3 in 1 pack. This is as far as i got. I'd get a msg after clicking anything, and itd take me to that dreampassport window where it'd try to make a save. I noticed that on a memorycard that had stuff on it, it wouldnt create the save. I tried it on a new memorycard with nothing on it, and it created the file PASSPORT.P00. But even after it was able to create the file, i still kept getting to that screen everytime i clicked a game or "Special Mode". So for now, its unplayable, unless someone figures out something for the dreampassport.

[CrazyYatta]

Sorry about the double post. I wont do that again, cuz i figure, if im gonna add a couple games at a time, might as well make one post. Also, i'm gonna make the images a bit crappier to not take up so much space =P. Anyways,

Quick notes:
Quiz Oh! My Goddess -> Quiz Ah! My Goddess
Gundamn Battle Online -> Gundam Battle Online

.1 -> .2a
Elemental gimmick gear (e.g.g.) still gets the black screen

Metal Slug 2 NeoGeoCD emu thing, still boots with black screen.

Yu Suzuki Game Works Still Hangs after selecting a game.

Fatal Fury Mark of the Wolves doesn't work, but i think thats because of the Echelon intro :plain: My bet is all games with echelon intros are screwed until someone finds a fix. Because i also tried my copy of Bomberman Online, and it too has the echelon screen, and wont go past it. Someone should make a note of that if it hasn't already been made (sorry, cant go through 33 pages, ain't happenin. I'm only going on the list on page one :P )

New Games:
Bounty Hunter Sarah: Holy Mountain no Teiou (J) works. Even w/o the capcom hack. Minor sound glitches. Playable if u know japanese =P. Its just a fancy read and picture show.

Card Captor Sakura: Tomoyo no Video Taisakusen (J) crashes emu

Dance Dance Revolution: Club Mix doesn't quite work. First off, u need to switch it to NTSC or else u'll get the AV not supported message. Then it boots up squished, and freezes after the first 2 screens or so.

Gundam Side Story: 0079 Premium Disc (J) works, but everytime i get to the memory card screen, it shows that message, and i dont know what its all about. I think u may need a Japanese save of the non-premium disc? I really dont know, but i can't get past it myself. If someone can get it runnin, please spill the beans on how to get it to work, cuz i even get this on my DC!

Well, thats it for tonight, Imma watch some spidey 2 and hit the sack ya'll. I'll sift through my stack of games tommorrow and get some more updates. Night all :party: :yawn:

[rcgamer]

well i have a bit of an odd one here. my source said the game name was take no marine 2, its a japanese game. i have yet to find any info on it. but it works pretty much perfectly(from what i can tell.)

ok , the game is tako no marine 2. its a newer dreamcast game , it came out in 2002. its a pretty cute puzzle game.

you know what i dont understand, most every japanese game is (of course) written in japanese. but when the intro video is over they say in english "press start" or they have the buttons a,b etc.

[CrazyYatta]

Well, i dont know much about japanese, but im pretty damn sure there aint a character for ever letter in OUR alphabet. I know there is one for a, but that aint the point. Have you taken a look at a japanese controller recently? Ya, its the same as ours! lol. It says start, and a b x and y, So why would the game say anything different? I mean, ya, SOME games say start in japanese, but still, theirs no real reason to, cuz the damn button is labeled on the controller. Besides that, japanese arent complete idiots, im sure most of them understand a couple basic words in english (especially the ones that play games since, like u said, most em say things like "press start"). I mean, hey, i think we all know how to say thank you in japanese. I dunno, im rambling now. Sorry, just had something to think about for a second there =P

[rcgamer]

start using decaf. I wasnt putting them down or anything. and no i havent recently looked at to many japanese controllers, been a little busy living. actually that is even more bewildering that their controllers would be the same as outs. i mean most of the video game companies home facilities are in japan. and even if they didnt know a word of english it wouldnt make them complete idiots.

take your ridlin and go to bed now. lol, just kidding.

Gez..That last post wasn't meant to be mean or anything. I never thought I'd spark a flame with a simple thought. And after saying all that, u end in "just kidding"? You know, it woulda hurt less if u just took that little piece out, cuz damn, u sure spat in my face with that one. :plain: What a lovely welcome to the community. And i never said u were putting them down. "been to busy living"? Ugh...Nevermind, i won't even go there, no need for senseless flaming. Im done...

[rcgamer]

ok then back to the thread topic.

[CrazyYatta]

Anyways...ya, now that thats over with, I felt like checkin a couple games out.

.1 -> .2a
Kiss psycho circus still doesnt work.
Musapey's Choko Marker still doesnt work.

New Games
Ducati World Racing Challenge doesn't get passed the SEGA screen.

Kiteretsu Boys Gangagan (J) can only get the buddhist lookin guy. Like seaman, requires mic. Silly game where u shout japanese obscenities at monsters to defeat them, or something of the sort

Treasure Strike (J) Works Great. Need to use NTSC Cable type. Only issue is that some menus aren't visible. I think theyre behind the bg, instead of infront =P. All that set aside, the game works ok.

Whats Shenmue? BETA (J) Works Great. Only issues are in the mini game, where your job is to search for the Prez of SEGA (Now dead i belive). The issue is that Ryu is see through, and has no eyes. kinda creepy :paperbag: , but still playable. The Explaination potion of the game works fine tho.
