DAEMON Tools and Chankast

[Martyx]

Hi there... I don't mean to be a pain and I don't usually ask for help on things, but this is really confusing me.

I run Windows 2000 and have used DAEMON Tools (3.46) for a while now (SVCD movies and games). I successfully installed Chankast and checked my ASPI drivers and everything seemed fine.

However, No matter what I try - Chankast always crashes Chankast_Alpha_.exe has generated errors in Windows...blah, blah whenever I try to play a game. I've uninstalled 3.46 and installed 3.29, it always crashes. I loaded up Chankast and it had defaulted back to my D drive (DVDROM Drive with an AudioCD in it) which booted up fine and I could play the music tracks - so I mounted the game again and did a CD>CD Copy using Nero Burn. This works fine!

The game is Soul Cailber (SelfBoot-MDS)

I'm quite happy to burn CDs to play games, but it's gonna require quite a few discs!

Does anyone have the same problem? Or have any ideas?

I had a similar problem. Try using another copy of the bios files:

dc_bios.bin
dc_flash.bin

try using the cd emulation on Alcohol 120%

Chankast works fine with daemon tools in my experience. DUMP your OWN BIOS from your OWN DreamCast to get a legitimate one... that's a key to success.

What does it matter what BIOS I have?

The fact IT WORKS using a mounting the image on DAEMON Tools and doing a CD-to-CD copy using Nero (even though the Chankast FAQ says to avoid using CDs).

The emulator is fine, the BIOS is fine - it must be something to do with DAEMON Tools and ASPI. I'll try Alcohol 120%.
