woah how did you do that?

Omg O_o. How did you manage to pull that off. Thats something i want. I mean, damn. Cheat device and major speed boost.

nice try :chinese:

[JKidd]

lol really he had me fooled.

Wow,why dont u tell us how u got it? ;)

[N7U8Team]

Wow,why dont u tell us how u got it? ;)

get it from Elsemi directly, or you can go to http://www.retrogames.com/ and see.

[refraction]

ive seen this before, its basically a frame skip program so it looks liek your games running faster, it just doesnt render a few frames.

it is real, but im skeptical of it.

[Conel_Hitman]

and how much more fps with this prog ?

[Johann]

Blah, return when you have 50+ posts...

[Trotterwatch]

The VMS Data browser pictured above has been released, I think you owe someone an apology, at least for the 2nd part :)

emulatronia.com has it

[Felipe]

Trotterwatch is right,N7U8Team,please forgive me for what i said,i'll be careful from now on,before i saw the Trotterwatch msg i went to emulatronia and saw the vms,sorry.

[Chris_W]

still don't excuse the poor taste in a hacked version of chankast with cheats and speedpig (wtf is that all about lol) it must be one of those have to have been there jokes i guess :plain:

[Trotterwatch]

lol, yeah the jury is still out on Speed Pig :) Awesome name though so I can forgive it.

[SyKo_420]

i dont really care about the speed prog all i want is the cheats :devil: what format is that cheat system?

[posty_2k3]

It looks like the normal gameshark/code breaker code system that most emus have (at least it looks like it, lol)

[N7U8Team]

Trotterwatch is right,N7U8Team,please forgive me for what i said,i'll be careful from now on,before i saw the Trotterwatch msg i went to emulatronia and saw the vms,sorry.

That's nothing, I know people don't belive it before it was release.
If you have a good idea to add functions for chancast, please write it here, if it is possible, I' ll add it.

Now I am writing a SNAP program for it so that people need't use a third part tool the snap picture.

[SyKo_420]

i dont know if it could be done but a save game state like in other emulators

[N7U8Team]

i dont really care about the speed prog all i want is the cheats :devil: what format is that cheat system?

it use a system according to EmuCheat write by YDMIS, here is an example.

type Ikaruga.CHT

[P1 Infinity Life]
ON=1D13EC,63

[GameInfo]
Name=IKARUGA
System=Dreamcast
Text=Ikaruga, two people shotting game

[N7U8Team]

i dont know if it could be done but a save game state like in other emulators

This function only should be done by the author, because I don't know how do him allot all the memroy and register

well,i got an idea that i think only the authors can make it real if is good for them,add a generator of bug reports inside the emu like in visual boy advanced.

[N7U8Team]

I can embed an IE in it and link to here, so any bug should post to here.

[Felipe]

i didnt understand,embed an IE? What is an IE?

[N7U8Team]

IE is Internet Explorer, embed IE is integrate IE into my program.

[Felipe]

i see,thanks for the explanation.

Nice post N7U8Team. I sent you a PM, please read. :D

[N7U8Team]

Still functioning for CHEAT..... >_<

[R00ster]

I cant believe that that is real, cuz you dont have the source code and I personally dont belive that you ould just integrate some stuff with a Reshacker or somethin like that.
And if its real why dont you give us a download link?

[N7U8Team]

Becasue I am fighting for the CHEAT, the author alloc the memory with serval immediate address for the basic address, I can't identify the real basic address every time. You should try to find winkawaks's game address, you'll find every time the address is not the same, but winkawaks is very easy to trace.
BTW: No source != Can't add functions, don't you know there is a neoragex support KOF2000 perfectly, do you think HAPPYASR have the source code of NEORAGEX?
PS:Not resource hack, asm hack.

[Greggory]

Probabaly he is still developing it, i always have hope. :D

P.S. read the other pm's I sent you N7U8Team.

[Falcon4ever]

get it from Elsemi directly, or you can go to http://www.retrogames.com/ and see.

i can't seem to find it on retrogames.com... link?

where we can get this program asm hack?

[Chris_W]

where we can get this program asm hack?

asm hack is not a program it is term for hacking at a ASM level.

i seriously dont find this funny if it is real or a hoax.

I hate the way people wait for some one to do all the hard work and then just come along and hack a little into a project.
it aint big and it aint clever.......

This emulator is in its early stages of development and for a 1st release kicks some serious arse.

anyone even thought about if this was real and the Authors said right sod this we aint continiueing because of stupid idiots hacking ?

to me it would be a big shame to see this project die so soon after and great promising start.

just remember without the original work done by the Authors there wouldnt be anything to hack ...... so leave the damn thing alone and let the experts get on with the Big Boy Stuff :)

I have no doubt that the Authors have a Development Plan and force feedback, Cheat Support and game compatibility are already high on their list.

if people would like to know the Authors plans on the Project why not just make a thread in this forum asking about future features and plans of such options?

im sure it would have a better reaction from them then talk of a hacked version ever will.

[steamover]

Nice post Chris.. i'm feeling the same.

Many people only asks about crashes, missings and more crashes... and it's useless now. It's useful when are specific problems, but at this stage of emulation, everyone suffers that crashes and know that some 'basic' features are missing, including developers... they knew before release it that doa2 didn't work or almost all games crash soon or later ...it's not something new for them. Maybe they didn't know that with GeForces SA2 doesn't work properly...report that is very useful. But asking about the same is almost pointless... And well, as i said on another thread.. adding these extra features (i mean not implemented inside source) at this development stage is worthless and it doesn't contribute to emu development.

For instance, i've made one patch, but i'm not going to release it, because soon or later (i think next rel) that function will be added, and better made than mine. And of course, for respect to authors. (Don't ask about it :P)

Sorry if sounds hard... but i think it's true. I think that the idea of a post with a list of 'Wanted features' will be a LOT useful for devs as a source of ideas. (of course, not forcing them to add those feats, only ideas)

[TheFreeman]

I couldnt agree more. Now that you mention it, if you must know, they are making a highly accurate compatibility list, with region and comments, over at ngemu.com, you might want to check it out.
I made my first post just to inform of my personal experience with this amazing emulator, which Im hope will be considered to further improve and help Chanka.
I hope that we can all respect, enjoy, support and praise this promising emulator.
Please go to www.chanka.org , and donate through paypal any amount you like, in order to keep alive this amazing event that is dreamcast emulation.

[Mr.Muscle]

I thought about what you guys said, but after some research, I have to disagree. First of all, as far as I have seen from another emulation website is that it's not a hacked release. It's more of a hack pack. If any of you guys have used http://aldostools.com you'll know what I mean. I think this will really help Chankast and I did email the owner of the other emulation site who is now covering it and he said that

"We only accepted him to create the project on the site to help Chankast and to help make it grow with more features in the next releases. He is also thinking of giving out the source code to them if they want to use it as well. Basically he is not hacking the actual code of the emulator, he has made DLL files, it's kind of a plugin pack. It's not really a hacked version. If the chankast team has a problem with these hacks he is making to help chankast, then by all means email us and we'll work something out. We are NOT trying to hurt Chankast at all. Our staff has even emailed them before trying to help their emulator and they know that. We have also tried it out and he sent us a private beta and it is real. This should help Chankast more than ever, not only in popularity, but in more idea's for their official releases. The author of the hacks also made shock support for Callus, previously."

I have seen many people do this with other emulators. Do you guys remember all those plugins released for ePSXe and are still being worked on? That is what this is basically. :whistling

[N7U8Team]

basic address problem is solved, i hope any one should help me to find some cheats. So either my version or offical to add this function should work better.

[steamover]

mrmuscle, i know it's not a direct hack of the original 'exe', it's like a trainer or as someone mentioned above, winkawaks loaders. But i think adding those features at this stage of development using this method it's unnecessary. I remark stage because it's the difference between doing it when a emu it's almost 'abandoned' (as neorage) and doing it with the first alpha release.

Plugins are different, it usually needs an interface with the program, predetermined by authors. Now there's not official interface nor SDK. 'official' means that for instance, someone (i'm not have time right now...on exams...) can develop a replacement of the 'buggy' (for me works perfect with daemon) cd_rom.dll. You can program a new dll with the same interface (using a disasm) with more drive compatibility and even with iso support, and replace the original. But i think it's not fair. If developers make an interface (SDK) for develop it, then perfect.

Anyways, i'm not against these hacks... i think it's a nice work of experiment and a source of ideas (i want speedpig on final version :chef: ), but i don't know what's the opinnion of devs about this, and if i were they, i'll be a little dissapointed, although happy to see that ppl have interest and even spends time trying to improve it. But this type of addons are not like plugins or GUIs.

Well, if someday it's released, of course i'll try it...only to see that pig :happy: ...but i'll not use by default.

PS: By the way, ElSemi tool it's pretty interesting :)

[tygra]

adding functionality is not a big problem,
the authors of chankast could 'pack' the executable with a free/shareware one, hoping the other side has not unpacking knowldge and no unpacker for that version just to keep the exe being altered untill the next release.
the release of chankast is a plain vc6 executable release mode, which without any problem could be analyzed & altered with some tools around.
some may use dll patching , sections growths & caves for easy data implemitation,
in short story, the sky is not the limit when it comes to functionality adding for exes.

i'd like to see the opinion of the authors,i dont know,i think if they didnt like this they probably would talk about it and they would lock this thread.

[N7U8Team]

I still want to know if there is any one help me to find some cheat for the chankast, I had wrote a tool for it.

Make a cheat search option also then you could make your own and add to the database easy no ? :)

[N7U8Team]

Make a cheat search option also then you could make your own and add to the database easy no ? :)

to make a search program is not easy and it would spend me a lot of time.
I'd like to make the 1st version in 2004/06/05 GMT+8,
so I just can finished the basic cheat function ---- locking memory.

[Aks]

is there anyway to make it support gameshark/action replay codes? if so, I would be more than happy to help out with that.

[Gent]

is there anyway to make it support gameshark/action replay codes? if so, I would be more than happy to help out with that.

well lets put it this way:

for the game Mr Driller:

Gameshark Format (NTSC)

Infinite Air
BCA63ADE
0000FFFF

Infinite Lives
607B6B13
0000000A

Action Replay Format (PAL)

Infinite Air
016486c6

Infinite Lives
010283c6

Code Breaker Format

Infinite Air
01197398
0000FFFF

Infinite Lives
01197400
0000000A


As you can see there are 3 differnet Code Formats to the Dreamcast.

so you would have to include all three formats....

you cant leave out the PAL as that would leave all the PAL European Games without cheat support.

you cant leave out the NTSC as that would leave all the NTSC North American Games without cheat support.

and you cant leave out the Code Breaker Format as it is the widest Format used of them all :)

so the only real solution would be to have a cheat search option on chankast so you could make your own raw hex codes to be used on any Region Game and not be tide down to having to have it Formated (by this i mean by the Original Authors) Plus all three Format Support for adding and using with Games

and btw congrats on a superb emulator Chankast Team great piece of work.

[Aks]

alright I get it. Ok, so I can somewhat help, here is a rar with a pdf for every gameshark code for dc This Link (http://members.rogers.com/j.aks/images/dreamcast_gameshark_codes.rar)

also I have 2 saves... one gamesharkcdx, and one for actionreplaycdx, the gameshark one supports 200 some games, and action replay supports 233. I know chanka cant read the GS cd's but still it is helpfull :P

oh yeah, almost forgot...here's the other link for the saves (http://members.rogers.com/j.aks/images/DC-CDX.Saves.zip)

cya, I'll do what I can for other stuff

[N7U8Team]

thank you for all.
How ever, the gameshark and the action replay 's address is not the relatively address!!! and they all include the control code.
So I need to know how to convert them into relatively address.

[Chris_W]

thank you for all.
How ever, the gameshark and the action replay 's address is not the relatively address!!! and they all include the control code.
So I need to know how to convert them into relatively address.

The Code Breaker Format is the same as the Gameshark Format the only dif is the Code Breaker Format is the Raw AFAIK

so again a raw search and add would allow you to make and add the most used format what happens to be raw and the CB Format.

[Ex0skelet0r]

N7U8Team when you are going to give something to us?

[mr_ding]

Will be interesting to see.....

check this site: removed
they say that this project is 100% and soon there will be a release.

Edit:

I removed the link as there are rom links crawling all over that site...... please be more careful about the links you post in future.

[N7U8Team]

if no the other problem, it should be release today.

[posty_2k3]

Wow, the nice little addons are looking great. Cant wait ;)

[MasterPhW]

Can't wait for this addons, since they are great new featuresfor this great emu and the author can concentrate on other aspecs of the emulation.
I think it's a good idea and probably they will be released with the next version? The future will show it!

*Waiting for the release*

[Trotterwatch]

N7U8Team is indeed from China, he also owns or is at least some part of a Chinese emulation site. Unforunately I *think* there are roms on the site, which is probably why he hasn't linked to it :)

[CoDeX]

I believe that it should not have been modified without asking to the authors before

[posty_2k3]

Codex, its a system of DLLs that run with the emu. No actual hacking is really involved. Its kind of like a trainer for a game, it edits what you can do without actually hacking the EXE of the game. In other words, this is perfectly fine. It was already discussed.

[Greggory]

Well actually some of the emulator was modified to read the dll files. Not all of Chankast Utilities (that's what they call it now) uses DLL files. They have emailed for permission with the Chankast Dev Team. However, they have not responded and it has been a couple of days. Also if they do care for real, they would respond in their OFFICIAL forums which is here which they have not. This is going to help the real Chankast tremendously either way. It will bring new and upcoming ideas for further releases. They have also stated that they will help them with the code if the Chankast Dev Team if they would like to add it. Otherwise to me, this seems perfectly fine.

If this does cause any problems, they will most likely revert it all into a system of DLL files for each utility. However, that takes a long amount of time. Most people like you and me, want this thing released today if you know what I mean, so they are going by the book.

Here is from the owner of the site who is going to host the Chankast Utilities for the first version and is also a tester of it along with other staff members on the site.

Also we sent an email to the Chanka team (basically for permission to do this), quite frankly it doesn't look like they care much at all about us releasing this. They have not sent an email back to us, nor have they replied to the topic N7U8Team has made in their official forums. However if they do have a problem, we will definately settle something and makesure everything will work out. At this point they have expressed 0% concern with us doing this. So we will continue work as we have been doing. But, do not think this will be just some "Illegal Hacked Version" because we did what were supposed to do and we went by the book. I just needed to clear that up.

I still can't wait for the release. As far as I know a Cheats Finder will be released (works with the original Chankast) today to grow a list of codes for the Cheats Manager in Chankast Utilities. :icecream: :canadian:

[Greggory]

w00t!!! Their website is now up (contain's no links to illegal material/roms/bios/etc.) .. /edit by me... I beg to differ on that one

Sorry removing the link - please do not post links to that site. You want people to get the utility then I suggest uploading it to webspace that isn't filled with rom/iso links.

Also the Cheat Finder was released as well! It could be any day now for the full release. I am so excited... :D

so what it does? i've read the instructions but are a little confusing...

[Chris_W]

so what it does? i've read the instructions but are a little confusing...

In a Nutshell its crap ....

you have to use a cheat tool like ArtMoney etc then place the code you got on your own into that silly pig dialog and then convert but once you do your feked anyway lol

theres no cheat use dialog.

to be honest wait for the Chankast Authors to implement a real Chankast Cheat search/Use Dialog.

I dont see this dodgy Util Project helping the Chankast Authors one bit.

It seems more like its helping these util people more with the hope of PayPal contributions for meaningless work that really is not needed on the Emulator as its a dead cert the Authors will do a better compat/Core speed, and cheat use/search i have no doubt of that and above all, it will be to the standard we have got from all emulators we have got to love and admire.

anyone can add meaningless crap on, but not everyone can do something special and it being great.

this is all im saying on this subject i think the util project is a waste of time and meaningless.....

[steamover]

this is all im saying on this subject i think the util project is a waste of time and meaningless.....

[yop]

I just saw this screenshot

well, apart from being beautifull

Chankast Cheat Assistant is ONLY usefull to a few people who owns these screenshot version hacked chankast?????

so why did the cheat assistant is a public release if nobody has the chankast hacked ?

[Freesnake]

I belive in the author's hard work……

he probably works hard,
but what can we do with his tool if we don't have the "nice cheat window" seen in the picture

[Qubeley]

I am not too interest in the cheat function at this point, as the emulator is still at early stage of development and due to random crashes,there is hardly any game that I can finish. Just for curiousity, I will like to see whether speedpig works as good as it sounds.

I had already send the release version to the xxxxxxxxxxx 's CEO, so please pay attention to the site. So late here, I was too tired and tomorrow is my final exam, going to sleep .... ZZZZZzzzzzz.....

I've been testing these out and they DO work. Speedpig works as has been stated, but what it does is speeds up the refresh on everything on your PC. THe drawback to this is, that audio gets a speed up as well, and it no longer becomes something you can stand to listen to. It's really only something you want to use if you don't mind turning your volume right off and only care for a speed boost.

Right now we're in the process of finding cheats to add to the cheat function so that there can be a big list of cheats that come with it.

IJTF_Cinder is right, I have used the Cheat Finder. You have to use a program like FPE or WinHex to see the memory of Chankast to find the cheats. Programming experience is needed. Also if you looked in the directions it said (3rd party tool). This is all one small portion of all of it, so stop trying to pull a conclusion that is not true till it is fully released. They are just trying to build a large set of cheats for the official utilities release.

This Lamearsed thing is not a Cheat Finder FFS.....
its a Converter that needs codes made via other means .......

I have made and used my own cheats for every game ive played on Chanka and i didnt need FPE or WinHex or any other dodgy little tool especially this piece of crap to do so.

Trust me i have more then enough expeience but you people arnt thinking of the normal user.

That stupid Pig tool comes with no instrunctions, or help...
it does sod all for anyone let alone having to use cheat tools they wouldnt want to use.

The simple answer (and im getting pissed off with saying it) is to let the Authors of the Emulator implement a REAL CHEAT FUNCTION that supports all known DC Formats and also a Nice Cheat Search with add to database as RAW.

You're pretty closed minded don't you think?
Nobody ever said this thing would be as simple as entering AR/GS/CB codes in and having them work like POOF!
If you've been able to just make cheats work for you so simply, why are you bitching in here instead of sharing your knowledge with the rest of us?

All these things are, is to help give users some useful things.
You're here bitching we should wait for the emulator authors to implement these? Whats the problem with someone else implementing them however the can and letting the authors busy themselves with other things?

Stop your bitching, if you don't care for this don't use it. Simple as that.
I'm not going to get into a flamefest with you about this either, however childish your reply may be, though I hope it isn't.

You seriously don't get the point do you ?

If a Job is worth doing! its worth doing properly!

this isn't, its a Bodged Job no noob will be able to use such crap dude.

im not bitching im being a realist.

if you want to see this crap included then i guess you are the one who is shallow minded and don't care about the poor sods who wont understand why they cant use the codes that are on their Dreamcast Cheat CD and put it straight into a Cheat Dialog and use.

or be able to make their own raw cheats and add straight to the Database via an internal option.

[IJTF_Cinder]

You still didn't answer my first question......but

I do get your point regarding ease of use, but is everything newbie friendly right off the bat? No way
He just wants to get this out to show he isn't full of it. If he keep working on it I'm sure things will become more user friendly.
Besides it works, and that's all that matters. Just because some 10 year old might not be able to pick it up and click on something and make a cheat work doesn't mean it isn't useful.

Guys, calm down, this discussion is starting to get out of hand, i'm sure a few users wouldn't like this thread closed. If you don't like the chankast addon, i'm sure slagging it off, flaming etc won't get you nowhere.

Peace out

[Greggory]

For any of you guys still looking in this thread, the first version was just released.

This topic should be Clodes and deleted by moderator... I don't understand why... Look at the TITLE : a "HACK" version.....

I wish a little more consideration for the author...

[Trotterwatch]

This thread will not be closed until it becomes:

a) useless flame war
b) considered redundant by the other mods (ie the authors) or admins
c) a forum for posting illegal links and off topic content

Agreed, the hacks lame, unstable and seems to have done nothing but de-stabilise the emulator and my computer in general while its running. And with no real authors consent for the hack/patch its dis-respectful to the authors.
