Latest Chanka news (as and when we get it)

[Trotterwatch]

The latest news we know about Chankast is what Garrofi posted in this> http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.ph...hlight=Garrofi thread



We do not know anything else on the status of the emulator, and if/when it will be released. Please keep everything about wanting Chankast news in this single thread - also please try to keep a sense of decorum. Mindless flaming is not welcome on this site.

Remember Emutalk has nothing to do with Chankast other than hosting the Official English forums.

well, is there a mod that can mail the devs and simply ask about the devellopement status ? or the devellopers are mute ghosts

And we in no way filter any of the donations into our own pockets, any more.

LOL @ Vamp

And no haz, unfortunately none of us (AFAIK) are in contact with the developers. I am as much in the dark about the status of a new version as you.

Hi, it's been a long time since I entered in emutalk, I didn't know about this thread . Here's a little news from Chankast.

At Talfi.net (it's a spanish site) we can read a summary about the party MadriSX, which took place in Madrid (Spain) early this month. Well, it seems that at the party they talked with Unai, who showed them a little sneak peek at the current status of Chankast.

It isn't much but at least is something... So far we know that there is a special version of Chankast for coders, which can run on a Pentium 3 and that it has some new features such as FastMem Mapping (I don't know what is it's purpose, they don't explain it). Also, it seems that Garrofi has been a bit away from the project lately.

There isn't any news on the XBOX version...
Sorry for my BAAAAD english...

Wait a minute ! Any chankast version can run on P3/Celeron Coppermine/Tualatin

[Johann]

Maybe he means that it runs at an almost decent speed or something like that (remember those rumours about that they wanted to make chankast run on a P3 700Mhz at almost full speed?)

[Mimeblade]

All I want is that they fix the "missing particle" problems found in games like Ikaruga and Chaos Field.

[KoHaN69]

Fast Memory mapping is a technique that requires more efficient code and offers better perfornace. It basically caches (temporarily stores) in ram, and takes some load off the cpu.

Yes, I'm a (novice) programmer.

W00t, an extension of the last news

In a flame topic ( ) over at Emulatronia's forum (Chankast's spanish forum), Ron (betatester and close friend of Unai, and also co-webmaster of Talfi.net) has confirmed that current version of Chankast runs fine on a Pentium 3 @ 700Mhz. He explains that in overall the emu is faster, more compatible with KOS (KallistiOS maybe?) and homebrew apps (for those programmers that doesn't have a DC), and has a better handling of the graphics. Also, he says that it has some new features (unreveiled) and that now it boots bynaries and isos (no more daemon tools! ).

About the XBOX version, he just says that it runs fine.
