About the emulator recognizing my game as a music CD.

I would have to say that this deserves some attention, as the same thing has happened to me. I was playing Shenmue fine and well (or at least as well as it can be emulated) and then one day -- poof! No longer reading as games, just as a music CD.

I'm sorry that I can't personally be of any help, but I do hope that reading this will at least offer you some comfort knowing that you're not the only hopelessly screwed Chankast user out there.

Although: For the record, forums are usually slow going on the responses -- so if you're wanting sound advice, you may have to give it more than a day -- but if you just want a quick answer that may or may not be right, you could try something like yahoo answers or another similar service where people are awarded points for churning out answers (though I make no guarentee of acquracy).

If you're willing to wait it out, I would bet you have a great answer within three days.

Your Flash file might be corrupt.

Ummm... I'm a little confused.

When you say "Flash file" are we talking about the standard Macromedia/Adobe Flash file like you find all over the internet, or just a coincidentally named file used by the emulator? The reason I ask is because my Adobe Flash is all the way up to date and working fine, but I can't really understand how this would affect the emulator.

Sorry for thread-nabbing, B34ST, I'm just trying to understand something, lol.

I mean the Dreamcast's flash file which is a data dump of the Dreamcast's internal Flash ROM chip.

Replace your Dc_flash.bin file with another copy. You might want to try the game and the image with other emulators as well, though.

You are not supposed to ask that. the Flash file along with the BIOS are copyrighted material by Sega. It's not particularly hard to find one, though.

Just replace the old file; overwrite it with the new one. It's hardly rocket science.
