OMG!!!

i was tinkering around with cedega, tried running chankast, and to my surprise...IT RAN (not just the GUI, i mean i got to start the BIOS)!

something in 0.25 was "fixed" :D

shots attached
thanks for this great emu...

ps: cedega is winex 4.0

Yes, it's kinda slow

comp specs:
Barton [email protected]
512mb PC2700
GeForce FX5600
Mandrake Linux 10.1 cooker

Hey... Didn't you need a Comp with SSE?
But a Barton didn't have SSE, does it?
That would mean: for the Linux Version you didn't need SSE.

ALL AthlonXPs have SSE support... BTW Barton is the newest AthlonXP core.
Hmm - in Linux with windows emu Chanka is really slow...

Johann not correct. Only Athlon XP's, 64Bits and one T-Bred (1.5ghz rather rare) are SSE capable.

No.. the Athlon XP Palomino has SSE aswell, but the Athlon Thunderbirds (stopped at 1.4GHz) do not.

CPUs and their respective cores that support SSE:

Pentium III: katmai, coppermine, tualatin (SSE)

Celeron: coppermine, tualatin (SSE), williamette, northwood (SSE, SSE2), prescott (SSE, SSE2, SSE3)

Pentium 4: williamette, northwood (SSE, SSE2), prescott (SSE, SSE2, SSE3)

Athlon XP: palomino, tbred, barton (SSE)

Athlon 64, FX (SSE, SSE2)

Duron: morgan, applebred (SSE)

I thought AMD has it since the 1,4GHz and +xp cpu's

Only first Athlons don't have SSE. Everything x87 above 1.44Ghz have SSE.

I have Duron Applebread [email protected] and it support greate SSE. My games work at about 35-55 FPS.

Athlon64 have SSE2 instructions.

back to the topic...

i could not get it to boot any games, it shows the same behaviour that 0.2 showed in win2k - it just reads the audio portion of the disc.
and since i can't install an aspi layer, i can't test the other cdrom plugin.

I've already tried to start it under Linux Debian SID Kernel 2.6.7 on an AthlonXP 2400+@ 2000Mhz bus 400MhZ , and the emulator starts , but it is VEEEEERY slow , and I cannot run the games , it doesn't find the disk game .


I've tried with "mount -o loop" (I hadn't very much hopes for this one) , and then with a burned CD-RW , but also the CD-RW didn't work , maybe some problems with the ASPI drivers .

Anyway I hope for a native version of Chankast for Linux someday :)

it reads the disc as audio cd, i'm sure it's a "problem" with the cdrom plugin.

wow. so u toyied arround with dc bios emulating 2 systems at once!

emuz are fun aren't they? :p

yeah...now if i could only get NesterDC running under Chankast running under wine, hehe, that would be cool :p

damn i'm confuse ;)

yeah..that's what he was talking about. nesterdc is an nes emulator for dc.
reminds me of howyou have to run a linux version of epsxe under a linux emulator for xbox to get decent psx emulation..well not that much better than the existing psx emulator(i was thinking compatibility)
