Do you think we'll even see a release in 2005?

If anyone here knew anything about it - we'd tell you about it.
I'm hoping for a release sometime before the year is out, though that is just hope. Regardless my life goes on with or without Chankast
So I don't mind waiting.

... Interesting... everyone trolls the DC thread to pick on people who want to emulate it? I own 3 DCs, but I'd still like to be able to emulate it. It would make for less cord-switching and I could control it with my s-controller. I imported around 15 JP games, and owned around 25 US titles. I feel perfectly fine saying that I supported it when it was THE system, loooooong into the time when it was flailing. Emulation didn't kill the DC, the PS2 did. You're on an EMULATION board, the URL of which includes emu and it isn't talking about birds. Fairly plausible that in the chankast section, someone might ask about chankast, and even that they just want to have the benefits of emulation, not just the piratability. I mean, if you really want to pirate the games, emulation is a waste of HD space.
Whining about Chankast releases will not bring the date forward, the authors have no obligation to even release anything or give updates. The authors are not slaves and they are not paid for doing it, they do it in there free time and were nice enough to share their work. Be thankful that you have an emulator that works with a lot of games right away. There was a progress thread not too long ago anyway about Chankast speed improvements and possible Xbox port. There have been more than 10 of these pointless threads, if I was mod here I would just delete them straight away.
That reminds me:
Next Chanka, when?

I really doubt there will be a subsequent release any time soon. Unai promised to make it open source for the next release, and i really dont think they want to do that.
I have a version of Chankast that was compiled after 2.5 (around 6 months after), and there was no indication of speedup at all (it was given to me because it allowed for the loading of bins (unscrambled binaries) from the command line). This was built approximately the same time that they supposedly already had it running on the xbox, so I don't know how reliable that is =\.

Yeah I used to close them but recieved a shedload of abuse (mainly from the same idiot who signed up under about 20 accounts to do so). Now I just leave them open for a while to burn out then will place a link to the sticky thread where all progress reports get posted.

If you truly do have a dreamcast then obviously these posts arent for you. I never said anything about emulating the dreamcast being bad. or that it had anything to do with it dying. I have used chanka myself. But you , i , and anyone else knows that not half the people who come in here asking for a new release ever owned a dc.
oh yeah, one of the rules of this emulation forum (I noticed these while I was trolling)is to not ask for new releases if i remember correctly.

Well, now that we're on it, I'm quite happy with the current Chankast state, however there are things that could have been solved in the interface that become pretty annoying and surely they are not much of a probl to fix, say:
- Every time you load a game, you have to under/ overclock it, again and again, there should be a way to fix the speed per game until further change.
- Same thing about capcom hack
-Mouse fooling around while emulation even in full screen mode.
-No way to switch off sound emulation, which would probably give some more fps so needed for example on VF3, at least it improves emulation when shut down the sound card on windows config.
-Corrupted bios from time to time needs to be replaced.
I think most of this is really easy to fix, only interface stuff, they can hold the next big thing for as many months as they want, but please fix some of these stuff

You can disable the sound in system device manager, and enable it again after playing without having to reboot

Yeah, most of these things are not very hard to fix with the source but a lot harder without... the guys of Chankast Utilities tried to implement it into the last version (with ASM hacking), but nothing more than 1 official and 3 internal betas came out and all of these features still remain on the todo list...locust said:Well, now that we're on it, I'm quite happy with the current Chankast state, however there are things that could have been solved in the interface that become pretty annoying and surely they are not much of a probl to fix, say:

Whaaaa Whaaaa I don't want to pay for my games whaaaa whaaaa! Chankast team owes me release whaaaaa! :bye3:
Then go steal a television, since you are using Chankast as a way of playing games you do not have you may as well nick a TV too.
