chanka news
hi all ..
i think chanka came along at the right time , just after everyone
had stoped searching for a dc emu and gave up , then out of the
blue chanka appeared and claimed to actually run a dc game , (yeh right)
and to all our amazment it didnt just run a dc game/iso past the bios
screen , at like 5fps , it did indeed run games to a high quality and
run more than just 1 title as well , it then sparked off the dc scene
and all us dreamcast fans became happy once more.
then to everyones suprise a new version came out soon after the 1st
with greater compatibility / faster / and better looking , this was
to us all , a team of devs that wanted perfection and wanted it yesterday,
and to all intent and purpose they were out to impress the entire
emulation scene by doing such a great work of art as well as a programing
1st for all to see.
then after a year of near silence we are all in a way sad at the fact
we know next to nothing of the emulator called chanka , it makes me
sad to think that it could be possible sega might have somthing to do
with the missing chanka updates , as i have seen this happen with the
saturn girl girl/emulator back years ago.i dont want to worrie the fans
of such a great emulator but this is a possibility as im sure the chanka
emu would not be doing sega any favours in terms of bringing out
dreamcast titles on pc/xbox/ps2 and gamecube and i hope my fears
and nothing to worrie about , tho one thing i do recall is that , had the
saturn girl girl team released source code to the emulator , im sure
the saturn emulation would be much more complete and there would be
no call for hacks of an old half finnished emulator that still stands out
best even today.
so , i cant help feeling that in some way i have been teased by the
chanka team , tho i will always remember the moment i 1st booted up
metropilis street racer with sheer amazment , but if the chanka team
are still developing the emulator and are waiting till they get it just
right before showing the world then great , take as long as you want
but let us know somthing at least once a year , but if you as a team
have lost the desire to continue with development of chanka cant
you at least let us all know were we stand and if going to chanka.org
every day is a waste of time as its the 1st page i open every day
only to be sad for the rest of that day and this is true.
and if the dev team no longer wish to continue with chanka then
cant the source be handed to a few choice developers that can take
such a great emulator to the next level , we all love you the chanka team
and will always remember you for showing us dreamcast on the pc
i just hope you guys are happy with what you have acheived and
continue to amaze the emulation scene , but above all you are part of
history and cant ever be forgoten.
( that pair of sandles will haunt my sleep for months to come im sure )

A New Dreamcast Emu For Pc !! Woot Woot !!
ok im a bit excited , iv been doing the rounds checking all my usual
emulation web sites for updates and whats new and whats not ,
anyway ... i decided to go and listen to ( 1emulation.com ) emulation
radio station to here the dev guys talk about what progress they
are currently making on emulation and ( zezo ) was interviewed and
was talking about icirus emu and also chanka and his involvment
with these emulators.at the end of the interview he stated that he
helped with the recompiler and power vr for chanka , the exciting part
is that he said he was working on another secret project , and didnt
state what this project was but did say it was to do with the same
hardware as before / ala dreamcast/ and that it already has a recompiler
his words were ( it would emulate the same hardware and a bit more )
and by the sounds of it this project would possibly run better than chankast.
please do not take my words literly , listen to the interview yourselfs
and see what you think , its about 10 minz into the program.
here is the link .....

Most likely a combo emulator, for both Naomi arcade and DC. Sorta like the dedicated emulators for both CPS-1 and CPS-2.
A bit off-topic, but can anyone recommend good daily updated emu news sites? Zophar's Domain went from #1 to the bottom of the toilet and I'm trying to find a decent substitute.

That's all I remember now. There are others too but either they are not updated so frequently or they are dedicated to specific hardware (PSP, GBA, Dreamcast, etc.)...

I feel your pain FatalRewind. I just wish that if the dev didnt want to work on the project anymore that they could atleast post a short post saying, "Yeah we dont want to work on Chankast anymore. Later" and let the source be public so someone can pick up where they left off.

Despite the lack of updates since over a year ago, I still have faith in the EMU. Mainly because this is the only chance to ever play Marvel vs Capcom 2 online.

Well, you have to have beta-testers for these emulators (assuming the author doesn't have his own wide selection of PCs to test on), hell, there's probably quite a lot of emus that are privately tested (Icarus - apparently - and FreeDO, to name but two), and those beta-testers are not allowed / not going to say anything about it to anyone. Hardly rocket science to assume something like that =P
Beta-test?

I have copies of later alpha versions than officially posted on the website, I know they are later because in the dialog boxes it states the system requirements are lower. The only problem is that the emulator is in Spanish, and I was thinking maybe someone could make a translation to English. Anyway, I could upload it here, or elsewhere and provide a link. I would always suggest a virus scan, though I've scanned it myself and ran it with no problem. Also I need to make sure this isn't something that I would get in trouble for in the forum. If a mod responds and suggests I not distribute it, or an author of chankast responds suggesting no distribution, then I won't. Either way I'd make sure the emulator was clean (no bios, games, etc.) before distributing it. I'm just looking for input and/or suggestions. Also I wasn't sure if this would qualify as a seperate thread which is why I added it to this one.

It doesn't have DarkCloud999 listed in the about box does it? If so that's just a lame reshack AFAIK.

My bad, sorry to get anyones hope up if I did . . . it's the lame reshack. I hope they release a new version soon. Their emulator is great, I just have a 1.5ghz processor and it requires 1.6ghz. It runs, but I get around 50fps, playable, but I wish it was full speed on my comp. Anyway, sorry again about that. I was excited as I thought it was a legit alpha/beta of a newer version.
