1) I am using the latest version of Chankast (2.5)
2) I have the two Dreamcast bios. (obviously in the correct directory)
3) I have the Aspi installed on my computer just as instructed in the FAQ on this site.
4) I am using an Athlon 64 3200+ system with 2 gigs of ram and a 128 meg video card. (obviously it has SSE)
5) I am running Windows XP home edition.
6) When I attempt to run Chankast it recognizes my back up discs which work fine in my Dreamcast as mere CDs. I have tried every game I have and it only sees them as music CDs.
7) It does not even play the Utopia boot disc. It sees the Utopia boot disc as a music CD.
8) I am not selecting the "wrong" cd-rom as when I eject the CDs then the chankast sees that they are ejected and the spinning disc disappears. Also the various discs are shown to have different track lengths indicating what disc is in the drive.
9) CDI dreamcast images mounted using alcohol or Daemon tools also are only seen as music CDs. I have tried several at various settings.
10) When I say these games don't work, I do not mean that they run slow. I mean that the Chankast does not even recognize them as games at all. It only sees them as music CDs. None of the following US back up games (which play fine in a real US dreamcast) worked:
Marvel Vs Capcom,
Marvel Vs Capcom 2,
SNK vs Capcom,
SNK vs Capcom 2
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Utopia Boot Disc
Mortal Kombat Gold
Gunbird 2
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil Code Veronica
House of the Dead 2
Zombie Revenge
Sega Smash Pack
Super Street Fighter 2 X
Jo Jo's bizarre adventure (and many more games I have)
(UPDATE FOR CLARIFICATION)
11) I am using Daemon Tools v3.29 (the version recommended in the FAQ).
12) I have these games in bootable and disc image format. I also have the UTOPIA boot disc.
Not a dam thing will play. I am very frustrated and so far everyone who had "pretended" to try to help me on other sites has been talking out of their a**. I am not trying to get demanding games to play here. I would be satisfied if simply the utopia boot disc worked.
I have never seen this emulator run on anyone's computer. I know a few people who have downloaded it and they couldn't get it to work either. Obviously, the people in these forums must be doing something differently.
I really hope I actually get some help this time instead of condescending drivel from someone telling me to do what I just said I already did. Unfortunately that seems to be the trend.
