stupied question

[tookers]

must be something on my machine then... because I intially tested chankast on windows 2000 and then soon after seeing the offical chankast tutorial and the only difference i could see was the operating system I switched to win XP and everything runs fine

[red_dragoon33]

this is the error message under event viewer:"faulting application chankast_alpha.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module chankast_alpha.exe, version 0.0.0.0,fault address 0x000375a2". 1 more thing would the emulator load up the bios and work even if the controls are not set up?

I could not find a thread with this question so here it go: How can I play the game If the cd-rom and dvd-rom drive can read it. ok I have to back it up to my pc, how and with what software? I forgot to mention I heard it has to a .ip.bin file, am I right ? if not what type of file?

[red_dragoon33]

what is the ip.bin file? i recently went to chankast website and they have the translated version on getting chankast to run,but it is offline for now. hope they can have it online.

I have some problems ith booting games too.i have radeon 9600 pro, 512mb ram,p4 1500mhz, windows xp pro sp1 and i can boot games from my dvd and from an image device.
I have download some boot cd's from http://www.megagames.com/dc/dc_utils_bootcd.shtml (i hope this is not illegal..sorry if it is)
with the utopia cd i get an error with an AV cable("This game doesn't support the AV cable that is currently connected to the main console. Turn off the power and replace the AV cable.")..i cant understand why
with Boot Loader v1.2 i get an image which says to insert a disc..but when im inserting an image in alcohol 120% of resident evil: code veronica it doesnt do anything.did someone know what i have to do?
I have download and a dreamcast game (Beats of rage) from http://senileteam.segaforums.com/bor_download.php (this is sure NOT illegal). when im booting it it only shows sega logo and then the emulator stuck...has anyone else the same problem?
(i have also notice that it can't play audio cd's but only read them.why?)

[red_dragoon33]

well at least u can get that far. i can't even load up the bios. the emulator crashes after i click init. wish i didn't have this problem so i can test out some games on this great emulator.

[tookers]

the ip.bin is a bootstrap... its put onto dreamcast cd images to make them self boot.
Although some games can be booted using a boot disc (utopia).
I used clonecd to copy my 3rd strike (backup) cd to an image on my pc and then mounted using daemon tools and it worked.

[red_dragoon33]

so when u have the dc_bios and dc_flash under the same directory where chankast is and u start the emulator and click init what happens after? does the bios load up when u click init?

[tookers]

initially the bios will begin to load unless you have a cd image mounted. If you have no cd image mounted then the bios will load up.

i have the same problem...

guys with the same problem: tell us your pc spec,drivers version...

[alex2003]

I'm trying to use Alcohol120%'s virtual drive to boot images and not having any luck. (but bear in mind im new to dreamcast emulation) Is this ok or must i use Daemon tools like most people mention?

Also, how are people running games if (as ive read) PCs cannot read the DC's GD-ROM discs? Because you can now get DC games *very* cheap in the shops, and I was thinking of buying a few just for tests! Just curious...

Mine's worse
W2K Pro
Rage128 GL
800 Mhz

[Exoskeletor_]

dc_bios.bin (2.018mb size) and
dc_flash.bin (128kb size)

[red_dragoon33]

crap the emulator still crashes after i click init. bios doesn't even get loaded. i have never encountered this kinda problem. the other emulators i tried run smoothly on my comp. no problems at all. maybe the chankast team should make some support documents.
