I'v been trying to use chancast, so far the only thing I get to is the bios! I'v taken 2 days to rip SA and SA2 Isos over the DC's GD-ROM drive and the coder's cable, then I mounted them in the deamon tools program! but it still won't boot in chancast! why? is all I ask! I realy need help, i see other people talking about playing games in chancast, but I can't! BTW if you look at my specs you'll see i'm on windows XP home and am fully compattable with the chancast requirements.

when you rip your own gd-roms (i know how i'ts long...) you only rip the data track, an the extra soundtracks... to be used with chankast you need to rebuild the dreamcast autoboot system... look here to see how to proceed :

to make it bootable i think it's the only way, cos the cd image work with only few games... but you can try...

this link is good, and work better than the previous ones...
