Can't run Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike...

Hey guys.
I am attempting to run Street Fighter III Third Strike Fight for the Future on Chankast alpha v0.25.
A self-bootable NTSC image of the game (in Clone CD '.CCD' format) is successfully mounted into Daemon Tools' virtual drive. The drive is set correctly in the emulator and 'ZWrite', 'AlphaTest ZWrite' and 'Capcom Hack' are enabled.
When I hit start, I see the animated Dreamcast logo. Then, it takes me to the screen, where you set the clock. After setting the time and pressing 'OK', I'm prompted to set the clock again. After setting it and pressing 'OK' for the second time, I see the next menu with "Play", "File", "Music", "Settings" options. When I select "Play", the emulator returns to the very Dreamcast logo it started with.

What can I possibly be doing wrong here, guys? Can you help me?
Replacing the BIOS and the flash files with new ones didn’t help any. I should be using the USA BIOS with this one, right?

My system: WinXP, 512MB RAM, AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (2.2GHZ) , 64MB G-Force 2.

Thank you for any pointers, dudes.

Maybe bad iso ? Don't use CloneCD for DC games - i tried to copy DC disc with CCD, result - it takes about 30 seconds to boot. Maybe Chankast doesn't have enough patience to wait so long ? :D
I have similar config (just more RAM and different video card) and i have no problems with this game

I had a similar problem until changed bios, so I suggest you try every bios you find around, don't ask me where of course :D

Which version of daemon tools are you using?
That's a very good question, artage. I recently read, that the version of D-Tools that works best for this purpouse is 3.29, so I removed 3.47 and installed the recomended older version. The effect is now different of cource:
