Chankast. Wat to do to make this work properly? if u have a PC that already can read GD-ROM discs, and have Chankast as the emulator...wat needs to be done to make it play at a full frame rate?

Clements · September 21st, 2005

- PC optical drives cannot read GD-ROM disks;

- Chankast can run fullspeed with certain games if you have a fast enough processor, or using the = / - to tweak the emulated CPU speed.

Oalboukharey · September 22nd, 2005

i said 'if' it can read GD-ROM discs. i know it cant at the moment. but there has been a high-density recorder drive that was released by LG i think, not sure.

Anyways, i have tried playing a game using Chankast and its SLOW! and i swear a P4 1.6GHz is fast enough to run the game smoothly.???

to steal a quote from clements...

Why don't you look in the compitablity sections to see if the game you are trying is listed. If it isn't then search the forums to see if anyone else is having problems. Don't just pop up and ask whats wrong.

The requirements of Chankast are high. You need an AthlonXP/64 clocked in the 2.0GHz range or more for the best experience. A Pentium 4 @ 1.6GHz is dog slow for Chankast.

Oalboukharey · September 22nd, 2005

if i had a 3.0GHz P4 CPU...would that work like the Dreamcast? including a good Graphic chip or card. Anyone?

ChankastRules · September 22nd, 2005

I have that setup, it works good.. but it can still get even better with a faster proccesor.

Clements · September 22nd, 2005

It would be faster, no doubt, but Chankast runs much faster on AMD systems.

Oalboukharey · September 22nd, 2005

okay, but wat does Chankast need (as in hardware) to run well, and i know this sounds silly, but wat is needed to run well?

Clements · September 22nd, 2005

Almost entirely CPU, as with all forms of emulation. Video card is less important, but benefits from being feature-rich.

Oalboukharey · September 24th, 2005

would it work if i had a P4 3.0GHz and a SH-4 from the DC, to help the emu emulate the games properly?

GCFreak · September 24th, 2005

a What from the DC?

Cid Highwind · September 25th, 2005

The SH4 is the DC's main processor... However I don't know how he wants to combine it with a normal PC CPU.

Just leave the SH4 in the DC and it should run DC games perfectly just like my dc does

Oalboukharey · September 29th, 2005

I know this may be off topic abit and may sound silly, but....wat if u had a clean piece of hardware with a powerful Motherboard, Memory and CPU (remember these are computer hardware), and including the DC's GD-ROM reader, and somehow, i inputted the DC BIOS into the CPU (with a little bit of scripting). Therefore, wen putting in a DC game, the 'machine' will reconize it, and start playing the game with no lagged FPS and smoother grpahics. Possible?

umm...sounds like you need to buy yourself a $20 dreamcast.

Oalboukharey · October 4th, 2005

i got one! answer me!!!! hehehehe
