chankast capcom hack & code veronica

[madprofessor]

ok now i'm stunned with the emulation quality the crystal clear sound the....

some beta testing report: i tested code veronica and its perfect.
i have random crashes every now and then but everything is emulated (sound, full fmv's, everything) and the speed is damn smooth!
i formated the memory card and when i manage to save the next time there is no save data in the memomory card :P
**ultra*** minor gfx glitches: the guards hands, claire's pony tail, and the start menu options.

pleaseeeeee tell me what exacly you have done and youre playing this game
hou much frames per seconds you get?
(your system specs,drivers versions,chankast version,image or cd..)

[madprofessor]

okie my specs are p4 2.54 (no hyperthreading) gforce 4 ti 4200 512 ram
winxp pro sp1 latest nvidia drivers directx9b.

i use deamon tools latest version and i mount the selfbooting images of code veronica. same things occur with burning the image with djuggler but less speed in general.

the door in the screenshot is as far as i can go. crashes occur randomaly too.

click on the screenshots to see the framerate

i have also too the resdent evil code veronica.it is 2 cd right?

i have pentium 4 1500mhz, radeon 9600pro, 512 mb ram, win xp pro sp1,ati catalyst 4,5, directx9b.

you can play it with all the chanka versions?

i am using alcohol 120% and when i run the emulator with this game i cant play it..it recognize it like an audio cd.i cant play it also with a dvd or a cd player..i have use also utopia but when im inserting the game the emulator stuck..(is showing an animal turning all the time

what do you think i must done in order to play this game?

[tookers]

Try using daemon tools... thats what the chankast authors recommended.
I have tried with alcohol but didnt work either daemon tools works though.

[Exoskeletor_]

i have try it.it doesnt work either with daemon tools

maybe my game have problems..in which format you have the image of resident evil code veronica?does this matter?

i have it on .iso and the size of the first cd is 656 MB (687.960.064 byte).how much is the size in your 1st cd of resident evil?

why this emulator doesnt play audio cd's? is this a bug?can anyone here play an audio cd?

What is the point of playing audio CDs through an emulator? It's not a bug, PSX emus can't play audio CDs either.

As for your ploblem with the game check your iso whether it is selfbootable and supports VGA cable.

[Exoskeletor_]

i just want to see if its a bug.im not going to run audio cds from the emulator
how i can check if my game is selfbootable and support VGA cable?

[zizozac]

i didn,t see a dreamcast system before ; is it possible to play resident evil code veronica ps2 version on that emulator ? i hope that cause i feel that cd structure for DC may be the same like PS2

no, only the DC version works. the game was ported to ps2, and adapted to that system. The adapted version won't work on the Dreamcast, or the emu, only on a ps2.

There are plenty of tutorials regarding this subject. Check out these two:

Enabling VGA cable support: http://www.megagames.com/dc/dc_backup_faq.shtml#6.2

Ok thanks Samor

[Exoskeletor_]

thanx hyuga.if a game has inside the 1ST_READ.BIN file this mean that it is Selfbootable?

[madprofessor]

ok we 're gone a bit off topic here :P anyone tested code veronica too? same gfx glitches
and random crashes as mine? anyone?

No, no, no. File ip.bin makes a game selfbootable, you need to patch the bootsector of your iso with it. You can't recognize whether it's selfbootable or not by the presence of a file, rather by looking at the bootsector but it's rather hard thing to do. The only sure way without looking at the bootsector is to see whether Chankast or Dreamcast starts the backuped game. Unless somebody knows another way to do it

[madprofessor]

ok what i wrote was for the capcom hack version.
the same goes for the 0.1 version.

in NEW GFX version now you have to do your magic to get ingame as everything is black till then with some flashes from the fmv. when you hit ingame there are some pixels fooling arround the screen now and then but the guard has his hands allright :P and the inventory menu shows more stuff, check the left screenshot. in the right as it looks in the other two versions (capcom hack and alpha)

[Exoskeletor_]

guys and sweet girls like hyuga i find something amazing..

with some clicks you can make your homebrew game bootable

it has instructions but i dont like them.im gonna change them a little and i will make a new post
