Need Help Running Chankast

[stanflamingo]

Hi, I've been trying to run Chankast for a very long time. I have the BIOS and Chankast 0.25 Alpha, but I never have seen the Red/Blue Swirly Logo at all. I have grey and the "Dreamcast" wording is just grey rectangles. When I eventually enter the BIOS, I cannot see any English words at all. The keys work but when I go into "Clock" I don't even see a timer, just some yellow/green flashing circles that are vertical.

Any correspondence would be greatly appreciated! :bouncy:

Your graphics card is subpar or your video card drivers are faulty.

Thanks! Any idea how to check what's faulty with my video card drivers or perhaps what my graphics card is?

Run dxdiag. You know, Start --> Run, type dxdiag, OK. Check the Display tab in the program that opens.

Hi Agozer,

This is what my Display says about my video/graphics card. Is it subpar? Any suggestions on what might be good to use with Chankast? =)

Yes, a Riva TNT2 will not work with Chankast, as it doesn't support Transform & Lighting for example. A decent DirectX8/9 card (ATI Radeons of Nvidia GeForces) should do just fine.
