? My one is working great, you get through the echelon intro without probs.
You only have to press start...?
Probably no config in the input plugin for start?

Be happy with it... myone is messed up to... the well known nvidea bug... don't know why you can see more then most of us... probably the driver or the card or both... don't know... post both please!

The fact that you see more/other things depends on your video card. Before I bought my new card I was playing SA2 with a GeForce 2 MX200. I could see Sonic, but most polygons (especially buildings and streets, in general whatever is on the edge) seem to produce a down-right diagonal "image" of themselves (sorry, I don't know how to say this). However, using wireframe when this occured (thank god, it has many open areas) I was able to reach King Boom Boo in Hero Story Mode (can't beat cause I can't see his shadow) and finish Dark Story Mode. When I replaced my old card with my new GeForce FX5200 I had the same problem with almost everyone else: Random color screens when in-stage (mostly blue, possibly the sky?). It's not a driver issue. We can wait for the next version of Chankast or for a PC version [it's the only 3D Sonic not on PC...].

why would you wait for a pc version when you can buy a real dreamcast for less than the cost of one pc game?

SA2 will not be ported to the PC as far as I know.

The only thing missing from Chankast is this Nvidia bug to be fixed, and so it can get past the Echelon intros. (and yes, my SA2 copy does boot even tho it has the Echelon intro. I'm talking about games like DoA2 and Garou)

I remember playing a demo for a 3D sonic game on PC.

I can't remember if it was Sonic Adventure 1 or 2.

Maybe I was mistaken to what I said a week ago. There is currently NO known info on whether SA2 (or SA2B) will be released for PCs. I just said that it is the only 3D Sonic game that has not visited the PCs (Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic R, SA1 and SH are all on PCs [and I have all of them {original!}]). Judging from the fact that SA2 was more successful than its predecessor and the fact that in the last year we saw two Sonic games on the PC, MAYBE they will release SA2B for the PC during the fall this year (assuming equal intervals between games). It is not likely that the new Sonic game for GC will be the next Sonic game for PCs.

is it just me, or does sonic look more detailed in the dc version than the pc dx version? SA1 i mean. i played both, and they look a bit different. I prefer the DC version after playing it again for comparison. also, sa1 on chankast seems to run faster than sa1 pc version :p

There will be no versions of SA2 ported to PC. According to whatever insider info Pachuka dug up at the sonic cult.
