Just had a brain fart and thought of a way that soa may work properly:

u need both the echelon and non-echelon versions.

-mount the non-echelon version using daemon tools
-start chankast in window mode
-boot to the new game screen using the non-echelon version.
-unmount the non-echelon version
-mount the echelon version
-start a new game and if it runs fine, test for the black screen inventory bug

i can't test this as i dont have the echelon version. its a long shot but anythings worth a try. ive used similar methods for other games on other systems and this method sometimes works.

if someone has both versions then please try this, and post your results.

I may be wrong here, but I think chankast would detect that the cd's been ejected and go back to the bios...

i just tried my method by getting to the start menu on cd1 as i said and as soon as i unmount cd1 chankast goes back to the bios as you have described :yucky: . so i tried a slightly different way:

-mounted cd1 using daemon tools
-started chankast in window mode
-booted to the new game screen using cd1.
-paused chankast using the menu option 'run->pause'
-unmounted cd1 and then mounted cd2
-unpaused chankast

the game then continued working and i can start a new game even though i now have cd2 mounted. :happy: so here's a modified rundown of what i described earlier:

-mount the non-echelon version using daemon tools
-start chankast in window mode
-boot to the new game screen using the non-echelon version.
-pause chankast
-unmount the non-echelon version
-mount the echelon version
-unpause chankast
-start a new game and if it runs fine, test for the black screen inventory bug

try this and see. i managed to swap from cd1 to cd2 at the new game screen without resetting the emulator but i don't have the echelon version to test whether it works using that.
