I got the insatiable urge to play SFIII the other day. I downloaded the lastest chankast, and I have a really beefy system to play on. I can't get it to work. Here's what I have done:

Lastest Chankast version, latest drivers, dc bios.bin and dc flash.bin. I am mounting the image, which I assume is self bootable, via Alcohol 120%, as a CCD.

I have the drive configured, I am using the capcom hack. It loads the grey screen with the blue DC swirl, then proceeds to play the white screen with capcom logo, really fast, and then hits a black screen. From here it will reboot into the "file, music, settings etc" menu at the beginning.

I can not slow it down using anything I've tried. I tried using the + and - and it does nothing. My cpu stays at 100%.

Here are my specs: Amd athlon at 2.4ghz 512 l2 cache, 2 gb ram, gefroce 6800gt at 425 / 1100, and the rest is trivial unless you really want to know. My machine is plenty powerful for this Emulator.

What am I not doing correctly?

Should be noted I also am using hte Z write and z alpha write deal too, tried all those options in various ways. I have searched google and these boards pretty well, and no dice.

From the compatibility thread:

Street fighter III Third Strike: Works, with minor glitches, when you play in 640x480, you see tons of layer issues. If you switch to 1280x1024 fullscreen, they disappear! Also remember to use Z-Write and AlphaTest Z-Write + Capcom Hack. Some really tiny graphical bugs appears, but they're not important. (thx westblade & suronosuke)

Street Fighter III Double impact: shows capcom logo then returns to bios (thx lenselijer & yop)

The description for SF3 Double Impact seems to match perfectly. So, unfortunately it appears that it won't work with Chankast.

On an unrelated note, if that dc_flash.bin file was extracted from your own Dreamcast, make sure that you don't distribute it. The flash BIOS contains the username and password (in plaintext, meaning not encrypted) for whatever internet connection you've set up with the Dreamcast.
