Problem with Sonic Adventure (Not mystic ruins but similar)

[hyrulian]

Okay, here's the problem:


I have Version .25 of Chankast.
Sonic Adventure is on a Daemon-Tools Virtual Drive.
I double click Chankast.
I go to drive config.
I select the right drive with Sonic Adventure.
Then I click start.
The bouncing orange dot passes and reveals the dreamcast logo.
Then, it stays gray a bit, then black and crashes.
What is going on, and are there any special options on anything I need to do.


My PC Data ( not sure what it's called)

Plug and Play monitor
Adapter Info:
Chip Type: Intel [R] 82845G Graphics Controller
DAC Type: Internal
Memory Size: 64 MB
Adapter String: Intel [R] 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics
BIOS Information: Intel Video BIOS

If there is any other info needed tell me what, and how to get it.

I've a feeling the issue is the graphics card - not sure if there is any workaround for it, still maybe someone will post one.

Okay, I was reading another thread and they said somthing about a program that emulates graphics cards. Would that do anything?
I really want to play this game :down:

I don't think it will help much.

So there is no way I can play it?


Besides getting a dreamcast

and Besides Gamecube

Try A Different Verion Of The Emulator Perhaps.

 

[hyrulian]

Do you mean another emulator, or a different version of Chankast?

try v0.20 or v0.20a of chankast
if it doesn't work, update your video chipset driver
see why here :

I just tried V 0.2a, will V0.2 be any different?


Anyways, can you explain how to update my video chipset driver?



P.S. Does updating my Video Chipset Driver require money? If yes, then I can't do it.

you download the driver for your i845 chipset, and you update it here :

and for money, don't worry, it's free

all of the intel chipsets dont support hardwear TnL that maybe your problem

 

[Flak247]

oh and maybe put is on NTSC cable type see if that helps to.

Yes, there is SADX for Pc too.

 

[hyrulian]

I am updating the Graphics right now, I will tell if it works..

IF IT DOES NOT WORK


Is there a chance that a later version of Chankast will be able to work around it?


P.S. SADX for the P.C. is only in the U.K. I heard.

Glad you heard, but you heard wrong. Ask yourself do you think SEGA would release thier most popular franchised Character's most popular game of recent years on PC in the UK only? How does that make sense? Instead of bothering ppl with annoying requests why don't you use that brain of yours and LOOK.

cheers

But It is slow.... I don't care though because it works!

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP ALL! :happy:
