Does Chankast actually play games?
If I was to put in a DC game it would actually run it at a playable speed with sound?

not an original GD-Rom but a backup self-booting disk could possibly work fine. That is as long as you have the Bios and Flash of the DC (Again...dont ask where to find these, they are illegal)

You are better off getting a real Dreamcast for like 40$ if you want to truely play the game with no slowdowns or graphical glitches.

I cant find any DC consoles in Australia that are chipped.
The very few that are on ebay only play original discs that arent readily available either.

it depends on how powerful your computer is

Check the pinned topic at the top of the forum about what games run and how well. Also, if you put a DC disc (a pressed GD-ROM which all games sold in stores were on) you will not be able to access anything on the disc beyond the "sega ring". Beyond that point is the higher density track which gives the CD the name GDROM. Supposively there was some CD ROM, a Yamaha or something, which with the right drivers could read GDROM's high density tracks. I cannot confirm that though.

Judging by your signature's link to PC spec info, you should get good performance in games. If I recall from what I've heard about others, you could play Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 full speed. I'm sure there are many others too. Check the compatability topic.

You don't need your DC chipped. There's boot disks out there, but there's also kits for making disks self bootable on DC.
