First of all, this is small tutorial for people new to chankast/DAEMON so dont read it if you know how to do stuff like that :p



1. Download Chankast (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/dreamcast/chankast.html)
Google if not trusted.:whistling
2. Download DAEMON (http://www.filecloud.com/files/file.php?file_id=2042)
this is some random link i found and it is the version i use, so google it if you dont trust it.:whistling
3. Find a rom somehow...

4. Ok now that we have installed DAEMON(i use
version 3.47) a little red icon will appear
at bottom right of the screen. Right click
that icon and you will see some options, go
up to the Virtual CD/DVD thingy says
something like that. ok now assuming that we
have sometype of rom that was acquired
LEGALY(ignore any spelling errors please)
some easy games to work would be "marvel vs.
capcom 2" so we have the image of this file
somewhere on our computer

5. Now if we are using lets say Marvel vs
capcom 2, then if you were to open the file
it would probably say something like
MVC.ccd....I dont know we are using this as
an example of completely legal roms. so we
leave that and we go to our "Little Red icon"
at bottom right of our computer---> right
click----> Virtual Cd /DVD whatever---> Mount
image--->Path to the file with the wierd file
that ends in .--- things----> and then were
good for right there.
'
6. Ok now to get chankast to work....Open the
Chankast alpha.exe thingy, will be in the
folder that chankast should be in wherever
you extracted it to, ok open that u get a
white screen with some stuff on it now go to
"Options"--->"Configure drive"---->(This is
where you left click on your icon once and
see the letter of drive next to the path
where your game is for example "Device 1:
[F:]C:\----------------------the path that
ends in the games name usually....) ok back
to configuring...you select the letter which
in the example would be "F" ( in the "[]")
and HAVE FUN

NOTE: Under options there is a capcom hack
option, which makes capcom games run faster
like marvel vs. capcom 2, also during game if
it is running slow hit the "-" key on your
number pad to or the "+" key it changes
numbers that could potentialy help the game
it is displayed next to "CPU:100" the 100
will go down or up depending on the plus or
minus, for my marvel i reduce it to 50 and
find that it works well on my computer:p .

As far as the controls go you are on your own....also if your computer sux really bad that could be a problem why you cant run a game ^^
IGNORE ALL MY SPELLING MISTAKES...and have a nice day
