This solution may work for those people getting the dreaded "VA cable" error when using a Self Boot CDI image of SoulCalibur.
You will need: (at least that was what I used)
- Padus DiscJuggler 4.10.1140
- HexWorkshop 4.23
- A self booting CDI image of SoulCalibur (doh!)
- Daemon-Tools 3.46
1 - Using Hexworkshop, find the text string 0799800 and change it to 0799A10. Attention here people! It's not hexcodes... it's a _text string_ you are looking for.
2 - Burn the edited image to a 700Mb CD-R with Discjuggler. I burned it in the standard DAO/SAO mode, using no options other than the "factory default" ones. Just before burning DJ will probably complain about the image structure... just _DONT'T_ let it "adjust" it for you.
These 2 steps alone would be enough. This CD-R is already "Chankast compliant". For a bit more speed in emulation you really should use an image, so the next step is...
3 - Create a CDI image from the CD-R. Be sure to again ignore any complaints from DJ.
The result is a "Chankast compatible" SoulCalibur CDI image that runs with no IO or "AV cable" errors whatsoever.
4 - Mount the CDI image with Daemon Tools. Run Chankast... enjoy
I know this edit-burn-read stuff sounds silly... but the original image and the final image will have more diferences than only the text string that was edited.
Don't ask... as silly as it sounds, all I can say is that it really worked for me...
ps. Please, don't burn the image from the Daemon drive... it isn't the same thing as burning the CDI directly.
