Chankast v0.2 & 0.25 compatibility thread

[Xis]

Lets start here a now compatibility thread on the new version:

Marvel Vs Capcom 2: full playable (great improvements from version 0.1); use capcom hack
Capcom Vs Street Fighter 2: full playable (near perfect); use capcom hack.

I'm going to test Shenmue 1 & 2, but if anyone has tested them, post here the results and other games too.

Great work Chankast team :thumb:

[Vejita666]

Resident Evil : Code Veronica : fully playable (no more crashes), with the "useZwrite" option the menu is nearly perfect (EKG health screen showes small glitch) .

Dead or Alive 2 Limited Edition : freezes after the SEGA logo (black screen) just like in the Chankast Alpha 0.1

Shenmue 1 : Fully playable, use "useZwrite" option.

Sonic Adventure 2 : unplayable (hangs in the same spot in the middle of the 1st mision as Hero and after 1st boss fight as Vilain), graphics almost perfect using "useZwrite" option.

Virtua Tennis : unplayable (invisible charakters), menu craphic got better since Chankast Alpha 0.1.

Sword Of The Berserk : fully playable (no more crash after 1st boss battle), sound ond speed improvements.

[refraction]

Phantasy Star Online: Same problems as on 0.1, problems with layers, glitches in graphics
F355 Challenge: now hangs on the sega logo instead of AV error
Dead Or Alive 2 LE: same as F355
Super Street Fighter 2X: Playable same as 0.1 but background graphical errors much worse.

[Sera]

Cosmic Smash : fully playable, removes minor transparency/gfx glitches from chankast alpha 0.1.

My Tennis Life : Playable,havent seen any improvements since version 0.1, It was perfect on v.0.1 anyway...

[Samor]

Just wanted to say that you can also add compatibility reports directly to our compatibility list:
http://www.ngemu.com/dc/chanka.php?action=compat

and I'll make this thread a sticky as well.

[Guruma]

Head Hunter still hangs after going to elevator :(

[om3gablue]

Guilty Gear X: Perfect, just no music. Slows down on certain parts.
Works under Win2k Pro SP3.

[Samor]

to the ati users amongst us: I just managed (after a lot of hassle) to get through Sonic Adventure 2's first stage in wireframe mode (since there's a bug with nvidia cards, and I have one), and the game continued just fine now :) ...however, knuckles' stage is even more unplayable in wireframe mode than Sonic's one ;)
I think Ati users are going to have some fun with this game though :)

[keyboardsamurai]

System Specs:
P4 2.28 GHZ
Geforce 4TI4600
512 Sdram

Dead Or Alive 2: Playable speed issuses make it unplayable though. (Can get in game and play just way below a reasonable framerate)

Gundam Side Story: Fully Playable with minor Gfx problems

Marvel Vs Capcom 2: Fully Playable
Powerstone: Fully Playable
Powerstone 2: Fully Playable
Ikaruga: Playable with some slow down

[rudeboy]

Shenmue II is fully playable. The graphical glitches can be fixed by activating ZWrite and AlphaTest Zwrite option.

[BuzzLiteBeer]

Namco Museum (Pathetic...I know) - Crashes after first screen

[nsignific]

How'd you get DOA2 running? It crashes the EMU after the Sega logo for me (I have the "LE" version of DOA2).

[zizozac]

Star Wars Demolition hangs after 1 second of the game start ( if i used capcom hack only to reach that without capcom hack stops at the menu after saving to memory card )

[SmokinTrickster]

Crazy Taxi 2 - Playable, Some cars transparent a little. Also low fps 20-30
MVC2 - Doesnt Crash, playable, low fps during loading, and some background graphics get infront of foreground.

[Eiji]

How'd you get DOA2 running? It crashes the EMU after the Sega logo for me (I have the "LE" version of DOA2).

The non-LE version works fine.

[neomajin]

RE-CV works fine but when Claire is going to the barracks of the Base of Military Training, a crash happens with any way of av/cable graphic or, I already tried several way but it doesn't pass of this part =/

[Shadow Lady]

Resident Evil Code Veronica = Playable, the sound goes wrong after a few scenes, it will hang the emulator if the sound is not going good and an FMV tries to play.
Guilty Gear = Playable, perfect Graphics, little slower than 0.1 still no CDDA :p
Capcom vs SNK Pro = Playable, need to use capcom hack, good graphics, better not use AF for this one it will make some glitches to be seen on characters.
Dead or Alive 2 LE = Not playable, Hangs on sega screen.
Resident Evil 3 = Not playabe, Black Screen.

[keyboardsamurai]

I'm not sure which version of Dead Or Alive 2 I have. Mine is just called Dead or Alive 2.cdi here's what i've done to play it on Chankast 2.0a

First install Alcohol 120% (newest version) then go to Emulation and enable RPMS emulation and mount the image using that. Mine works just fine in Chankast, except I can't get higher then 18 to 20 fps which sux for gameplay, but the graphics are sw3333t. I'm using my dreamcast bios (ntsc/american) and haven't had any problems with it so far, perhaps u guys have a bad bios???
also am using VGA as cable...

[jareg]

Okei a little my testing

Grandia 2-Goes into the menu but then when i push start it crashes :(
RE-CV-Otherwise great but sound problems when you play a little bit :)
Ikaruga-A lot faster then before but some gfx problems
Skies Of Arcadia-Didnt boot (The echelion pack)
DOA2 Limited Edition-Crashes after Sega logo
Soul Calibur-Runs great almost full speed with some gfx glitches in vs screens :thumb:

[tookers]

Ok 3rd strike is pretty much perfect on the Chankast alpha 0.2a.
Heres my settings
enable Zwrite and alphatest zwrite
cabletype vga
a few sound glitches but the graphics have been cleaned up
screenshots later!

i found disabling FSAA removed some glitches

You can make DOA2LE work. All you need to do is replace 1ST_READ.BIN with the one from this thread.
here (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=21191&page=2&pp=15)
Just download the tool fastboot too to insert the new 1ST_READ.BIN into the image.

[IceFlow]

Jet Grind Radio: Almost Perfect, High system Requirements (20fps Only), Use Zwrite.

Thanks it worked :)

[nsignific]

That DOA:LE solution is bull****. I'm not downgrading Daemon Tools for one measly DC game that's gonna work right anyway a couple of releases down the line :)

[manny9158]

You don't have to downgrade daemon tools. All you need to is activate all the emulation options in daemon tools and it will work.

[Shadow Lady]

im, after all the fuss I made it myself and yeah it doesnt need to downgrade Daemon, not to turn all the emulation options either, it just works good in here, now can someone teach me how to use fastboot on other games? selfboot doesnt do anything good for some

[nsignific]

That is false, it does not work.

[Posty]

SegaGT works. When it seems like its frozen, just keep tapping + and - constantly to get past the 2d menus and stuff, but once it shows 3d, it runs full speed with great graphics :D

[Venatyr]

Skies of Arcadia (Echelon Release) crashes the emulator at the loading screen.

[kingking 3rd]

rent a hero no. 1, playable but not perfect, camera is often blocked by grey thing, and have to use wireframe to see something.

[kingking 3rd]

dynamite cop: playable with some texture errors, and slowdown with more than 2 people on screen.

[SlugZilla]

Anyone get virtual on running?

[kingking 3rd]

spawn: unplayable, control doesn't work in menu screen
cannon spike: almost perfect

[keyboardsamurai]

Jet Coaster Dream 2 10/10 seems to be working flawlessly. As far as I can tell it's some sort of sim game where you build a roller coaster theme park. Couldn't test it out for more than a few minutes cause it's in Japanese; however, it does seem to work just fine.

You have to use the NTSC video cable, Above Normal Priority and 140 fps (settins I use for all Chankast games)...

[RZetlin]

Tech Romancer: Playable. But the sound is messed up. The sound is okay at the beginning of the intro, but you heard nothing but static when the you start to fight.

[Shadow Lady]

New:
Capcom vs SNK 2: Playable, sound is almost perfect, graphics always good, it slows down on a rotating stage (shangai i think).
Daytona USA 2001: Playable, slow on the intro, after that it work just fine, sound is good but not perfect, there are parts of the cars that dissapear.
Demolition Racer: Playable, slow on game, graphics are like perfect, sound s good.
Marvel vs Capcom 2: Playable, sound is failing (music on this game sucks not related to chankast but hey ;)), graphics are good.
Rival Schols 2 - Project Justice: Playable, good speed good sound good graphics ( i wonder why capcom didnt do a better job on the graphics for this game).
Soul Calibur: Playable, sometimes slow, glitches on select char. screen, also if you dont choose fast a blck screen will appear.
Street Fighter 3 third strike: Playable, good graphics, good sound.
Street Fighter 3 second impact: NO playable, after the capcom screen, it will just return to the bios.

[RZetlin]

Rival Schools 2 (Project Justice): Playable. But no music?

Update: I just tested the game on a faster system (P4).

No music, but has sound effects. A bit of static sound at the beginning of the first match.

Some graphics glitches in the rainy level.

[RZetlin]

Bangai-O: Not playable. You have to use NTSC mode to boot up the game. Even then, the screen size is small. When you select "start game", a blank screen appears and then nothing happens after that.

[IceFlow]

Daytona USA 2001: Use Spanish BIOS, Arcade & Championship mode freezes the emulator, Time Attack is very playable, Use Z-Write & AlphaTest Z-Write to see menu options, 6/10 compatability.

[~akujin~]

Plasma Sword: Emu crashes after sega logo, but could be my image...

Tokyo Extreme Racer 2: Works full speed but all cars (even traffic) are white painted and have no reflections on them (exept the windows...there are reflections). seems to freeze at random times too...

[Shadow Lady]

Plasma Sword: Emu crashes after sega logo, but could be my image...
no, it crashes the emu no matter the image u use, i tested it on all chankast versions and it was a no go

[kingking 3rd]

super robot war alpha: crashes chankast

[slashworkninja]

I've got compatibility issues.

Dead Or Alive (US): Cannot complete story mode using TINA, gets stuck just before fighting with JACK. For other characters. Once story mode is completed, Chankast hangs. :cry:

Minor alpha glitches. Minor graphic glitches.

Crazy Taxi: Chankast hangs after the first mission ride. Other cars appear transparent.

SoulCalibur: Lots of graphic errors. The character select screen is a mess as are all 2d pictures.

For all games the FPS is very low. 10-12 FPS for DOA2, 20-22 FPS for SC and CT

My system config is:

PIII 866 MHz
256 MB SDRAM
Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 :emb:


Hey maybe I could be a tester for the minimum system requirements???!

[Shadow Lady]

u can always try and contact the chankast team ;)

[keyboardsamurai]

Championship Surfer (ntsc) crashes Chankast before ingame


Dynamite Cop NTSC fully playable with minor gfx gliches and sound problems.

Virtua Tennis Great speed and great sound. However the players are invisible (you can see the ball though).

played on
P4 2.28 Geforce4ti4600

[Squall8VIII]

Rez (E) works! Runs very fast..sometimes faster than its supposed to. Small graphical glitch during gameplay, but doesn't really affect gameplay at all.

[StuMcBill]

spawn: unplayable, control doesn't work in menu screen


Try pressing all 4 buttons at once a couple of times!!

Goes to black screen after completing a level though!!

[~akujin~]

is this thread for 0.25 as well? if yes i might add that mk gold now runs fine but without sound.
plasma sword still does nothing
rest of the games i own run just like they ran before 0.25 :)

[Samor]

that's fine; we can continue in this thread as far as I'm concerned :)

[kingking 3rd]

a game that works in .25 but not .20: evolution 1, i think it crashes before intro movie in .20

Virtua athlete 2k: playable with graphic glitches
Sega Marine fishing: almost perfect
Time stalker: playable with minor 3d model glitches

[jareg]

Did some testing with the v 0.25 :thumb:

Grandia 2: Still Crashes at the loading screen :p

Skies Of Arcadia: Runs at fullspeed but crashes when you go to the inventory and some texture problems after the first boss :)

Soul Calibur: Runs great fullspeed and everything only sometimes there are some Gfx problems in the menu and in vs screen ;)

Dead Or Alive 2:LE: Runs a little bit slow but still Gfx are good and well playable :D

Resident Evil: Code Veronica:A little bit faster but still the same bugs,missing sound

Great work Chanka team keep it up :yippee:

[AndreaSpooky]

Soul Calibur: Runs great fullspeed and everything only sometimes there are some Gfx problems in the menu and in vs screen ;)


i wonder how with athl 2000 + gef4mx can get full speed in sc since i cant with barton3000 and ati9700... :innocent:

[jareg]

i wonder how with athl 2000 + gef4mx can get full speed in sc since i cant with barton3000 and ati9700... :innocent:

Well i use the UnderClock thing ;) But i have to admit i think i have a good combination of a Motherboard and the Processor :)

Everything is updated too all drivers and stuff :thumb:

[AndreaSpooky]

i bet u dont have FULL speed ... neither with undrclock activated
check the timer on your fighter (not the round timer) if goes at normal speed...

btw, i have asus nforce2 dlx 2.0 with latest drivers and latest omega drivers, 400 mhz ram and all stuff. guess is a good combination after all.

[Shadow Lady]

i have only tested Soul Calibur & Resident Evil Code Veronica and well, all good, i think i have little more speed on Soul Calibur and RE:CV is a little more stable (not as many corrupted textures as before) but it still has the same sound bug, for Soul Calibur well, it seems to have a little more speed but im seeying GFX problems :o

[Posty]

DOA2LE - Works kinda slow (you gotta remove that echelon intro you guys, thats why its crashin on you)
Ikaruga - A lot better speed than in previous Chankasts
Sonic Adventure - Runs well, graphics look good.
SA2 - Runs pretty well with less gfx probs than 0.2a
Soul Calibur - Same as 0.2a
RE:CV - Works well
Gameshark CDX - WORKS! We can now cheat without using some morons program, lol (I used ammo cheats and such in RE:CV, along with that weird walk cheat :P)

[S.SubZero]

Psychic Force 2012 : (Use Z-Write) - loads, some menus and all gameplay are compressed, as if there's supposed to be scanlines which aren't getting done so the whole thing is crunched into the top half of the screen. This happens in NTSC as well as VGA mode. Some minor graphical glitches but playable and good speed.

[PrTv]

If DOA2 Seems to slow , try over/under clock your SH4 .

Adjust SH4 clock in DOA2 don't have any effect on 0.2a but now it's works in 0.25 , /mine get ~28Fps in battle scene when o/c SH4 to 158 (AA and AF is 8X)

EDIT: And now 2D pics in Soul Caliburs is works (in 0.2a all i got is garbage scene) , Only little glitch in main menu and battle scene .

[Sera]

Shenmue II - works and plays fine, minimum gfx glitches, kinda slow...and I only get an /30 on my machine even when I tried OC/UCing..

[jareg]

i bet u dont have FULL speed ... neither with undrclock activated

I dont much care if you believe me or not what the point is liyng anyway :)
Soul Calibur runs with 40-45 Fps when i underclock the SH4 to 60-50 ;)

[AndreaSpooky]

okok but what about that timer?
is it working at normal speed?

if seconds are counted at the proper speed u have full speed, otherwise...not

[D.Strange]

Hmm - and how much fps you getting in SC?

[AndreaSpooky]

i have betw 40 and 45, overclocking

if i underclock the game goes crappy fps

[D.Strange]

Hmm, really strange for 3000+... I`m have about 65-70fps and with higher resolutions about 50-55(all it with 8xFSAA ofcourse)...

[BDash]

i have betw 40 and 45, overclocking

if i underclock the game goes crappy fps

crappy fps doesn't mean crappy gameplay in chankast because you have to take a look at ration. In other words, 32/30 fps is better than 45/60 fps. Try play it first and don't look only on fps counter ;o).

[BDash]

BTW I saw in other tread that someone overclock emu and this helps in DOA2. They had xx/60 instead of xx/30 and fps increased about 5 then. So maybe something is playbale better when underclock and something when overclock :o).

[AndreaSpooky]

with crappy i mean in slowmotion

xx/30 means slowmo on my pc

[IceFlow]

Ecco The Dolphin runs much better with .25a, doesn't crash at the 2nd level anymore.

[Omegainf]

MK Gold (CD) doesn't work here :/ Which is the recommended program for making DC isos?

[kingking 3rd]

tokyo bus guide - works good
densha de go 2 - crash at sega logo

[Shadow Lady]

Mortal Kombat Gold: many graphics glitches and no sound? but it runs ;)

[ssj4]

doa2:le (DOA2LE-ECH) doesnt boot, (does the same thing mkgold (MKG_ECH) used to do in 0.2) should be fixed in 3.0.

[Bill_gates]

doa2:le (DOA2LE-ECH) doesnt boot, (does the same thing mkgold (MKG_ECH) used to do in 0.2) should be fixed in 3.0.

Ive seen screenshots of BOTH those games running on chankast :rolleyes:

[ssj4]

Ive seen screenshots of BOTH those games running on chankast :rolleyes:
yes but i think this is the echelon version, i am talking about. when the image is mounted the vertual drive is named DOA2LE_ECH, doesnt that mean it is echelon?

[cooliscool]

There's a few steps you have to do to get the Echelon version running (read: remove the intro). Search on www.emutalk.net , it's there.

[Bobert]

what about SRWA?

Super robot Taisen Alpha..anyone got that to work yet?

[~akujin~]

Mortal Kombat Gold: many graphics glitches and no sound? but it runs ;)

sometimes it has sound for me... all the videos have sound (yeah that has nothing to do with ingame i know ;) )
at very rare occasions i can hear some punches or screams. very strange hehe ^^

[manias]

Hey!

I know a lot of people are waiting for this... I got skies of arcadia to work! (the two cd-echelon-rip). I used a 1st_read.bin from the original version (HARDDDDDDDDD to find!) and put that into the iso using fastboot: And it works!
Now i realise that ngemu's policy might prevent me from posting the files.. Just wondering if it did or not. If so i'd like to share it (it as in 1st_read.bin and ip.bin so people can make their own iso)

[scbwdt]

skies of arcadia(echelon): complete the first disc =D. im on my second disc now.
lot of random crash. its really hard and very very annoying to play with random crash. just save the game when you can!! but its possible to beat the first disc XD. little graphic glitch but game sound still need some work =(. used clean 1st_read.bin from european version of SOA to bypass the trainer.

[manias]

do you have to patch the 2nd cd also? or does that not have the trainer?

[~akujin~]

do you have to patch the 2nd cd also? or does that not have the trainer?

yes you need to patch the 2nd cd as well. (use the same (clean) 1st_read.bin you used for cd 1...)

@manias old news btw ;)

[~akujin~]

godzilla generations
works very good with some glitches (like mentioned before)

godzilla generations maximum impact
works perfectly with very minor glitches

go to the screenshots thread for some pics :)

[~akujin~]

pod 2 speedzone
intro works
after loading screen the screen turns black and fps freezes....but the game runs in the background (i can hear normal sound and stuff)
wireframe or anything else doesn't help
can anyone confirm this?

[-=KanedA=-]

Soul Calibur: works almost perfect some glitches in the intro, vs screens, gallery/endings (U want to fix it, just go to window mode click in other place than chankast window, than click on chankast again:) dunno why it's like that but it works) some gfx glitches when camera is moving (from the ground camera rotation), emu sometimes hangs in battle theater and some of characters embu, I think it's all for now, maybe will find something more, oh yes speed about 39 - 52/60 fps, without under or overclocking :)

More to come...

[acme420]

Looney Tunes Space race works except theres textures missing on all the characters and their vehicles and the framerate is like 20 no matter what i do.

Jet set radio works perfect cept when a lot of stuff is on screen it slows down below 30fps. othey than that its perfecxt, no texture corruption and all sound works. just the framerate.

[KanedA]

Dead or Alive 2 LE -> mega slowdowns, but I didn't gave up, finished it :D

[KanedA]

Metropolice Street Racer and Aerowings 2: Aero strkie <- issues with the pad
( http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthread.php?p=784563#post784563 )

[General Plot]

This game runs fine on my real DC, but 0.25 can't make it past the Intro Screens, just for those interested in knowing.

Intro shots:


http://www.geocities.com/general_plot/Web_Pictures/DDR1.JPG


http://www.geocities.com/general_plot/Web_Pictures/DDR2.JPG


And the end result is this screen, which it doesn't get past:


http://www.geocities.com/general_plot/Web_Pictures/DDR3.JPG


Notice how the game only seems to be using about a quarter of the screen? Strange, but at least it does something. Dead Or Alive 2 Japanese Version doesn't get anything yet. The majority of my game collection does fully or near fully run. So I can't complain.

[VGF]

Hiya, I'm new at Dreamcast emus.
Confidential Mission (PAL) is fully playable, big issues with sound though (Only music and VO can be heard) And small graphical issues (In the train section, you can see the trees... when you are inside the train and there is no windows to see any trees, per example. Does anybody knows if exists any Handgun for PC?

[psicomaniaco]

Hi, I'm recently playing Shenmue on chankast. The speed is great (just some slowdowns here and there). But I've noticed something weird: Sometimes the main char is transparent. This really don't bother me at all, but I'm just curious: is this normal or its a problem on the emulation? (and yeah, I've never played this game on the real dreamcast!!!)
BTW, I heard this game can be finished w/o problems, but what about Shenmue 2? Did anyone ever finished it?

Tried Sword of The Berserk.
Working well, with only minor problems in speeds in some parts of the game.
Graphics are good, with minor glitches, and some missed up sounds.
Speech doesn't go along with the mouth movements.
give it a 70% working
And by the way, is there a way to fix the lagness in Soul calibur, coz maybe i am too fast pressing the buttons and slow responsive timefrom the game. Even pressing the + doesn't improve anything that much.

can u save the game cuz for me it always start from scratch
and the characters r rotating in a very weird way

[john2]

I've read that in order to get xx/60 frames to some games you have to increase the power of Dreamcast!How can i do this through the emulation?

Edit:Ok,after searching the Screenshot thread i saw that you can overclock the CPU of the emulator with the +/- keys.In case someone doesn't know i don't delete this post :)

Hi, people!
Post please your 1st_boot.bin file for DOA2, because all links from emutalk are broken.

[KanedA]

Hi, people!
Post please your 1st_boot.bin file for DOA2, because all links from emutalk are broken.

and for what do you need it? don't you have your own? ripped with rest files from your games GRom? :rolleyes:

[Cid Highwind]

Hi, people!
Post please your 1st_boot.bin file for DOA2, because all links from emutalk are broken.
Sorry to disappoint you but I'm afraid such things aren't allowed here, like KanedA tried to make clear you have to dump the game on your own, including the 1st_boot.bin file ;)

[Lobo]

Rez (PAL @ 60hz) - Works well. Some visual glitches on the menu/text that scrolls while playing as well as some other edges of things on the bottom and right side of screen (area you need to see to play is flawless in apperance). Slow Down, cutting down to < 30 on many occassions, never hits > 50 on my 2.8ghz with a radeon 9700 pro. Finished first two missions, so I assume entire game works.

Border Down (JAP) - Hardly any visual glitches (hard to tell if you hadn't seen it before on the DC, and even then still hard to spot). Runs exceptionally well, with minor slow down before new enemies enter screen and with lots of effects/bullets on screen (boss fights), first two finished, assume the rest works.

Ikaruga (JAP) - Black borders on left & right are non existant, instead you can see the game outside of where you're supposed to see it. Runs < 40 fps (makes for an easier time :p) a majority of the time, somewhere in 40's the rest. Looks visually good, like Border Down, really quite hard to tell the difference. visually (outside of hte bars of course).

[Lobo]

Ecco the Dolphin, defender of hte unvierse (US) - Plays good, steady framerate until you hop out of the water then ti slows down. Not full frames but still very high (mid 50's). Visual problem with fog and water - water is missing objects unless you turn on Z Effects, but then the objects are too prominent. Also no 'fog' in the water, far off in the distance; can see the world being rendered as you get closer to objects :p.

[KillerZ]

Soul Calibur PAL fully playable ,great game, between 41-46 fps, minor audio glitches

Still hope for some speed optimization though, because the emu is very CPU Dependant . you should have a 3,6 ghz intel or an athlon fx57 proc. to get a decent 45 fps on dead or alive 2 .
Don't get me wrong Chankast is the best next generation emu around and the only emu with decent speed and compatiblity ,
It's a remarcable piece of work done by the Chankast Team .

Thanks guys , always dreamed to see Dead or Alive 2 running on my pc

Just wonding...
With an AMD Athlon XP 2100+(~1.7 Ghz) and 512 RM, would Sonic Adventure 2 be even playable at all ?(in speed terms, I mean).

Also, I have an ATI Radeon 9200 SE.
Dunno if that's good enough for the graphics, but, I'm too lazy to check the minimum requeriments. >_>

[Cid Highwind]

Though you have 512 ram instead of 256 our family computer has, you CPU is a lot slower, graphics card is the same. I doubt it will be playable at decent speed, especially not since SA2 is a speed driven game.

[fatalitydeath]

Shenmue I : fps 20-30, and it freezes after a fight in the harbor (DISC 3)
Shenmue II : it hangs when I inserted DISC2 !

What speed CPU should I have to make it work...decently, at least ?
2.5 GHZ ?
3 GHZ ?

[Cid Highwind]

Well seeing how you'd have to upgrade your computer to do that anyway, go straight for 3gHz+, investing in a CPU below 3ghz is wasted money nowadays because for little money you can buy a lot faster :)

Also, you can look at Luptatorul's tests and his framerate on games, and look at his system specs in his signature for an indication on how chankast runs. The problem is that speed varies a lot between games and that it is still far from optimized compatibility wise.

Yeap youre right with my new 3700+ at 2520 mhz i get decent speed on dead or alive 2 , 42-45 fps depending on stage

[Shadowfoxx5]

im new here sorry....but how can you telll if DOA2 is non LE?

[JKKDARK]

what the hell is LE?? that dead or alive 2 from Luptatorul is not supported here, because the game is 'echelon' (echelon=piracy) and ngemu doesn't support piracy;)

When I was playing the third CD of shenmue(Ryo rescue Mark for the second time in behind NO 17 warehouse,after that gut ,the emulation(Chanka v0.25) crashed and the screen turned into black) .I have changed several editions of emulation,but it also wasn’t solved.

By simply knowing what you have bought, it is THAT easy :rolleyes: The cover artwork is different you know.

@JkKdArK: There are a couple of versions of DOA2, and I think that on the internet the Japanese LE version is the most common one. LE stands for limited edition, this one has got a lot of extra costumes.

Black/Matrix AD (Japan) is fully playble:wub:

What's that game like, and maybe you could post some screenies in another thread?

[ViperXtreme]

system specs
AXP 2500+ @ 2Ghz
1GB Ram
GeForce 6600GT 128MB
Chankast 0.25

Soul Calibur: gameplay is fine, although a bit slow sometimes (30-40FPS) but manageable. Some graphic glitches in character selection screen as well in the title screen. Crashes when played for a long time. Rumble feature works well.

Shenmue I: gameplay is also okay, FPS is about 20-30. some minor graphic glitches and slowdowns, havent played much though.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica: gameplay and graphics is also fine with minor glitches, although audio disappears when playing for a long time. framerate varies from 20FPS-40fps.

the game crashes after a fight in the New Yokosuka Harbor (in disc 3)

[Cid Highwind]

I've been trying Under Defeat and even though it crashes because of my video card (so not emulator related), I can say it plays fine with just a few glitches.

1. The VMU menu in the beginning of the game isn't displayed correctly
2. The smoke effects aren't displayed correctly, a shame because they look so nice :(

Other than that the games runs perfectly fine, it even runs a bit too fast (1 second in the game takes less than a second on my pc)

Specs of my pc:
- P4 Northwood 3.0 HT
- 512mb DDR400
- ATi Radeon 9800se (128bit)

for Dreamcast or Chankast (the DC emulator)?

[kurtsky]

Hi
Is this normal?
MVC2 running at 15-19 fps character select/ ingame
25-28 fps intro/title screen etc

Its kinda lag for me how bout you guys?
My specs

p4 2.0ghz
512 mb ram
gf fx 5500 256mb

Thanks

[JKKDARK]

Did you select the Capcom Hack?

[kurtsky]

Yup I did.. Any other suggestions?
Maybe its because of teh video card or my proc?
Coz I know Chankast favors AMD systems

[Cid Highwind]

Yeah, and 2 gHz isn't really that fast for Chankast I think.

[kurtsky]

Ic.. Sothere arent any hopes getting to run it at above 20 fps then..

[JKKDARK]

There is a great compat list in emu-compatibilty (http://www.emu-compatibility.com/chankast/index.php), you can see more than 500 games tested here. Also there are compat lists for Saturn emulators :)

[-=TRIXSTAR=-]

Soul Calibur exibited huge 2d errors after long periods of play rendering alot of the game unplayable. This issue has been fixed in this thread.

http://forums.ngemu.com/chankast-forum/79403-soul-calibur-fix-v1-1-a.html

IMHO: this game can now be classed as 'almost perfect'

[J-Que]

Lets start here a now compatibility thread on the new version:

Marvel Vs Capcom 2: full playable (great improvements from version 0.1); use capcom hack
Capcom Vs Street Fighter 2: full playable (near perfect); use capcom hack.

I'm going to test Shenmue 1 & 2, but if anyone has tested them, post here the results and other games too.

Great work Chankast team :thumb:


Shenmue 2 is playable minor sound glitches But Shenmue 1 is playable till you reach disc3 en you need to help out mark with some thugs if you beat them screen just stays black en doesnt respond.

Ikaruga (NTSC-U):

Intel Extreme Graphics... something, or other...

CDrom Interface xxx
EISemi Input Interface.

Works, even on my horrible computer, at perfect speed. In menus, 40-37 FPS, in game, 20-25 FPS (normal speed.) Besides a few at the beginning, graphical glitches are very minor.

Also, don't use Alpha Z-Write or regular Z-Write, it slows it down. Run it in full screen, goes faster :D

Sonic Adventure (PAL, I think):

Intel Extreme Graphics... something, or other...

CDrom Interface xxx
EISemi Input Interface.

Extreme graphical glitches, but gameplay isn't impeded by them. FPS is about 10-13, 15-17 in some, smaller, less crowded areas (sewer in Station Square, launch area in Mystic Ruins.)

Those are the stats with Z-Write and Alpha Z-Write on, haven't tried it with them off.

I think it's PAL because when I start it with VGA "Cable," it says "50 hz: works with most PAL televisions."

Sega America would not touch Dreamcast in 2002 for a scrolling shooter :lol:

[Cid Highwind]

They didn't even bother with Shenmue 2 or Headhunter, two games belonging in the top 10 of the best Dreamcast games. The DC is probably the only console not making me feel like living on the wrong continent. The US exclusives are nothing compared to those two and Rez.

[StewieG]

Jet Set Radio

Card:

Intel Extreme Graphics

Plugins:

Default, except control

Resolution: 640x480, full screen

Status: Insanely slow, major graphical glitches, and crappy, choppy sound, but playable, and still great. It was in NTSC cable, I thought it would be faster that way, but the graphic glitches were so bad, rails and even my character (Corn, if anybody cares) were either disappearing or turning black.

Power Stone 2 (NTSC-U, I think)

Card:

Intel Extreme Graphics

Plugins:

Default, except control

Resolution: 640x480, full screen

Status: Very fast, bad glitches, and freezes at the desert boss.

I think JSR was NTSC-J, the language was in english except the title screen, and there was only Kogane-Cho, Benten-Cho and the first one, but the text was in english.

I was trying to boot up my Dead or Alive 2 (not Limited Edtion), but it didn't go any further than Audio CD screen and when I'm pushing "Play" it shows "Please insert game disc". Could anybody explain how to fix the problem? Any help is really appreciated. :emb:

[JKKDARK]

Try using a boot disc

[BraiNz]

Try using a boot disc

Utopia? Already did.

I've mounted an iso of Utopia, booted it up via Chankast and then mounted and booted Dead or Alive 2... It just stays at Utopia boot screen.

[JKKDARK]

Try the game on Demul. If it still get the same, it shouldn't be a correct image.

I've got Limited Edition to work with DEMUL, but really, really slow. :eyemove:

[JKKDARK]

Did you select Dynarec on Video Mode?

[BraiNz]

Did you select Dynarec on Video Mode?

You bet I did. Although, it increases a FPS, it's still slow, but it works (Limited Edition). :rotflmao:

Edit: DOA2LE requires you to set Video to VGA instead of Standard.

Despite high FPS during gameplay (Average: 45), it's still not fast enough to play normally. However, intro + menus work perfectly.

A couple of screens:

P4 2.28 GHZ

Dead Or Alive 2: Playable speed issuses make it unplayable though. (Can get in game and play just way below a reasonable framerate)

Yup. :cry:

how well does chankast work with intel GMA 3000

[karas81]

Unless someone owns the same model and tests it for you we can't say for sure, but I think it'll just work fine (maybe with a little glitch here and there considering the fact that chankast still in earlier WIP).

i had a prblem in cdi file for spawn chankast wont recognise the game even i mount it with alchohol120%, when i started the emulator i always see the music section for dreamcast then when i play it the emulator always said "Insert game disk" ............ Help Thanks

This is a huge bump for an old thread. Use nullDC as it's updated and it can actually run games at full speed (that's right) !
