if you don't tell us what's happen, how do you want we help you ?

 

[elliotw2]

it goes to the dreamcast logo and shows the grey screen the report the error box comes up

what game? ... thats the excact thing that happens when i try to run Gauntlet Ledgons (sp?) where both Soulcaliber and Virtual Fighter work fine.

do you have adaptec hardware/material on your system ?

 

[elliotw2]

the game is ikaruga and i don`t have anything from adaptec

 

[Nightmare]

i don`t have anything from adaptec

ok, so the problems who can happen at this point are :
- a bad bios dump
- you are under specs
- drivers are not updated
- the use of a virtual drive with win2k

At this point, we still don't have enough information from you. What does the error say?
If we have to analyze this computer specs-wise, I would have to say that your
"s3 prosavege ddr" might possibly be the problem.

i also have a s3 prosavage ddr, chipset in my laptop. Chankast runs the bios beautifully at around 50/60fps, but as soon as it tries to run an 'iso whether a physical disc or an emulated drive(daemon tools or alcohol120) then it runs the dreamcast logo intro and then crashes. Personally I think it might be a bug in the cdrom.dll ? Could that be a feasible answer to the problem ?
