Didn't know wheather I'm the only one in this board who have this error but everytime I want to start one of my games it shows this error. It's after the bios boot and before the game is appearing. If I click it away, the audio menu is coming... some tips?

[n00by duddy]

I got that error before when i used a non-selfbootable backup

[MasterPhW]

I got it if I use it with non selfbootable, with bootable and with my Original ones. Don't know what I'm doing wrong!

[PsyMan]

What OS do you have?

[MasterPhW]

Have WInXP and all my Specs are greater then the min specs...

[PsyMan]

Do you have both the dc_bios.bin and dc_flash.bin files?

[MasterPhW]

That are all files I have and all files I need I think (pic)

My specs are Pentium 4 1.8@ 2.2
WinXP SP1, 512 DDR 400 Ram, Geforce 3 with 61.11 Driver...
Need more infos? Don't think so...

*edit: forget the pic*

[MasterPhW]

I've tried some games which are definitely supported (because of videos before the alpha was released and pics and more) like Sonic 2, MSR and THSB2! Can anybody help me? THX for all advices!

But I could find my problem: had someone tried it with original CDs, not with the mounted ones? I used it the whole time, but I think it's just a tipp to use it with deamon tool, not a MUST DO! But I didn't want to connect my DC again with my PC, so I can use a burn prog too, to create a image on my drives or do I have to connect the PC again to my DC?

hi MasterPhW_DX yeah this is strange I have the same problem sometimes to.

I think I have solution but not sure, I use that Alchol 120% image loader program as it seems to run better with Chanka.

what I do to get it to read the images properly with chanka, is run chanka first then check the Image path to that of the image Drive.

after I done this I load the image with the loader Alchol 120% and then run int in the emu.

this works for me most of the time give it a go.

[Waan2k]

also I run the bios first too in the emu then load the image after I loaded up the bios setup thing.

I hope this is not confusing to you.

After the tenth reading I understanded what you are meaning... :)
I'll try it and hope I can play my games on my PC! Are you mounting isos loaded by your DC or i your drive? Would be great if you do a quick answer... some other advices by other chankast users?
BTW: great that a emu that loads my DC games is finally appearing. I thought the day after tomorrow would be real before a emu comes out! Great work, but I WANT TO USE IT TOO! :gunman:

[Sauron-Jin]

Have you tried to exit from all resident cd-rom interferring programs like AnyDVD, CD-Speed, etc. from your taskbar??

Try right-clicking on them and hit Quit/exit and tell me your results...

Greets! :D :D :D

[Grant64]

I have had this crash problem too! It happens with Daytona USA! hopefully it will be fixed for the next version. Its an alpha version so there are gonna be problems!

[Waan2k]

Ok sorry for the long big explanation, ok I had the problem before trying Fire Pro D a import game.

It came up as a Audio cd with the audio tracks when I mounted it, and it gave me that IO error again.

So what I did then was unmount the image, then started the Chanka program checked that the e drive was the Image drive I assigned to chanka.

I then remounted the image with Alchohol and then it showed as a data dreamcast image and Click Int on chanka and no more IO error :)

this is sort of my fix to get it to run games, till the next release comes and fixes this problem :).

Btw sorry before for sounding so confussing lol :)

[Waan2k]

I hope this helps you MasterPhW_DX cause it's a great first release and it's worth trying :)

[JKidd]

i see that you have a file called ip.bin does that come with chankast?Cause i dont have it what is it

Can you help me?
I had the same kind of problem when I tryed to pass non-self-boot to self-boot files.

I tryed to install aspi drivers (and they are already installed), but every time i receive (a lot of) IO Control: error, and then get to the bios.

Thanks any help!

[Microbator]

i cant help you because today it dont work !!!:-(
I'm disgusted. It work for only 1 or 2 hours...
I've tried to re-install aspi but it don't work.
If anyone know how to make it work, please tell me !!

[Microbator]

finally it work after an install of daemon tools...
Sorry mago but i cant help you
i've already made this (selfboot) 1 years ago on a P2 350mhz with a progam but now i can't tell you how to do...

[Mago1982]

Well I already use Daemon Tools for this.

I am afraid that i don't know made a self-boot very well. The strange thing that I had one backup that works on Dreamcast, but had the same IO Control problem in Chankast... If someone had a light... please, turn on! :)

[jareg]

Khm Next Release Khm :whistling Fix

[Mago1982]

So this doesn't had a fix? It's a "emulator problem"?

Funny, some guys can do this kind of thing...

[MasterPhW]

Sorry guys, tried all the things, but doesn't work for me... it's just an alpha, so we can wait for the next release! B patient guys... still can play my games on my DC... *lol*
Hope it's fixed in the next release, or can someone solve this prob finally? It's only a audo cd in my drive...

[MasterPhW]

i see that you have a file called ip.bin does that come with chankast?Cause i dont have it what is it
It's just another bios related file, try searching google for it, didn't know wheather the emu needs it.

[jareg]

I know how to fix it you have to burn it onto a cd with Discjugglar or something

[Strange]

Yeah - just burn patched image of disc to CD with Alcohol120 or DJ or... It works for me... Funny thing - after i burned CD i make from it another CD image and IOerror is gone(image mounted in Alcohol) - really interesting...

[jareg]

That means i think that Deamon Tools may have a bug or something

[Microbator]

i'm hating my computer....
today it dont work...
if anyone can help me....:-(

[Ex0skelet0r]

no Daemon tools doesnt have a bug.the emulator has a bug.but in the next release this will be fixed.so just wait a little..

[Mago1982]

i tryed burn in alcohol and disc jugler, but i can't... not enough space on dics...

[MasterPhW]

Now it works for me...
Didn't had ANyDVD closed, only 'don't show the symbol' checked.
So I disabled the modifications of my drives and shut it down and after it my pioneer dvd writer handle to read my selfbottable backup copies.
Great...
@all:try to disable all drive modification thinks like one user said allready.
And probably put your cds into a dvd writer, didn't know wheather it works better, but thats the only one of my 3 drives with know that that are DC Disk, not audio disks.
