first off ... WOW .. someone FINNALY got DC games to play!

i havent seen any info on this so i'll post here
are their any command line options yet?
basicly i want to be able to add a few dreamcast games to my mame cabinet and i can script the switching of images loading into the virtual drive , but it would be nice to launch chanke to load the game on start ... somthing like

chankast.exe -loadgd H:

anyway it's somthing i would like to see ... but at this point i'm just glad it works .. :bouncy:

came on here to post the same thing, command line is a definate wish for me too for my emulation box, need to be able to automate launches - toss in a daemon tools mounting command then chankast command line into a script and fun ensues!

here is a batch file I wrote to load images with daemon tools and then run chankast

@echo off
title Batch File Testing

echo Starting Chankast

echo.
echo Starting Daemon Tools
cd C:\Program Files\d-tools
start daemon.exe -mount 0,"C:\Documents and Settings\manny\Desktop\u-psy2.cdi"

echo.
echo Starting Chankast
cd /d D:\Emulators\chankast
start Chankast

echo.
exit

basically the command is daemon.exe -mount device number, "image path"

and thanks fo the batch file .. but i was thinking .. you could do a

start daemon.exe -mount 0, %1

then you only need to call the batch like
batch [path to iso]

Thanks for the cheap plug......

Btw you should all try it... atm the it is the only way to automatically load up a game in "fullscreen," with all of the options you want turned on, with the cpu speed automatically adjusted.


After the next release of chankast I may discontinue it, but not if the chankast team keeps making menus that don't support command line options. (Hint, Hint)
