Chankast 64 or XBOX?

[jhonnypolak]

Will there be a 64bit version of Chankast ? It would be really really interesting to see how the extra 32 bits can speed up the emulator (since it's most CPU dependant)

And a stupid kinda question since Chankast requires a really fast CPU, but will there maybe be a XBOX release to support Street Fighter 3 ?

We just have the PC version and already you are moaning about porting it? :ranting:

I think they may just be focusing on the PC just now so just be happy with what you got and who knows if you just leave the authours to get on with it they might release a 64bit version or even xbox, but I wouldnt hold my breath!!

Who knows...
But for now read the sticky:

P.D: We are quite busy now, we are working REALLY hard to bring you the next Chankast, so please don't ask for any feature for a while...

Dont get me wrong guys

Dont get me wrong guys, im really appreciating the work that the chankast team is putting into this emulator. It is the field where no-one else has succeeded before, that is why i think these guys are geniuses. Thefeore it led me to thinking that they might expand on their project. I dont expect there to be a port for either 64bit nor XBOX in the time soon, im just wondering if it has crossed the team chankasts' mind? Or will it be like with 1964 emulaotr where the source is released and another person or team ports it?

Chankast port to Xbox?
>> From MetaFox on consolevision.com:

A few days ago we reported about the Spanish Dreamcast / GP32 party "MadriDC" which took place on Saturday 26th in Madrid, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Lucky we catched a lot more information about what happend at the partyplace.

The most interesting act was the conference conducted by Unai, a member of Chankast team and responsable of the graphics core. He announced a new core in OpenGL to attempt a Linux port. Also the last alpha will be released very soon, and the next release would be a beta that will probably run fullspeed at 700Mhz and... there's a machine that runs at 600Mhz that can receive a port... (and that might the Xbox, sad for all us die-hard Dreamcast freaks).

Well you never know........

But I think for the time being they are concentrating on PC only!!

Sorry for misunderstanding you earlier!! arty:

If the V1 will be released they will be releasing the source, too.
After that you can ask for a port to Xbox or 64Bit CPUs!

Sure, ill emulate a high end pc on your low end pc, but it will run at 1 fps
