Hi all, iv posted here about something the other day that i already got the awnser for, but now i still have this doubt:

PC Specs:

PIII 800Hz
396Mb DDR
Riva TNT 2 32Mb
DirectX 9b
Various hardrives
Windows XP Pro SP1

I cannot run games on chankast, the only thing i can run is the Utopia Boot CD..

I dont intend to play games ( with these specs not even with a miracle lol ) but i whanted to test the images i have before i burn them...
The PC has SSE, its a PIII, the graphic card even with the latest drivers (13-04-2004) may be the cause for the crash right?
But it shouldnt even run the Utopia Boot to, right?

I dont know :\

Here are the pics, by order:

yes, your gfx card is the problem, and you can run chankast until the app/game don't need a specific nvidia gfroce/ati radeon instruction...

but, as you can see, the result with your gfx card is not what it should be...

Perhaps you could give 3D Analyze a go - course as you know the speed will be crap, but it may help the emulator enough so you can check the images :)

In 3D analyze try messing with the Emulate HW T&L option:

I dont know how to use that, iv download it, placed it on the dir were i have chankast, ran it, selected the Chankast_alpha_25.exe were i have chankast and then i dont know wich options should i mark, but when i mark HW_TnL for ex or what, it says that it could not move Hook_3DA.dll from e:\xxx to c:\xxx ....:(

By the way, thanx alot for this sugestion, if i can make it run it would be great!
