Sorry to be f*cktard, but you really should get the real thing for all your DC gaming, you won't regret it .... and DCs are dirtcheap on eBay at the moment ....

Sorry for the interuption ... carry on

[hagbard]

Enable the "Capcom hack" option and should work better.

You're right Sty, I might get one some day

[ramzak]

well i cant by the DC right now becasue my perants dont allow me(dont even have a credit card) and i dont got any money so my solution is to only emulate the games i have right now. so does anyone know a way i can fix this graphics problem becasue i tried all the stuff i can think of and i cant seem to make the graphics show(speed is at perfect/normal speed).

[hagbard]

I don't want to sound rude but once again, did you try the "Capcom hack" option? Options -> Capcom Hack

[ramzak]

yes i did try out the capcom hack, everything works except the graphics.

[hagbard]

I can only think of "Options" -> "Configure video" -> enable/disable "Use ZWrite" or "Use AlphaTest ZWrite". If still doesn't work, that game image/version it's not correctly emulated by Chankast

[ramzak]

is it posible that m bio is the cause of this? since bios are designed to tell what the consle to do and stuff?

[hagbard]

Most probably the image is damaged or the game region isn't compatible, because most CVS2 game regions are known to work.

You can test with another dc_flash regions, but I don't think this is the probelm

[ramzak]

um it looks like that in the DC menu too. its not just the game but the menu.

[hagbard]

Which video card you got? perhaps this is the problem

[ramzak]

YAY i finaly got it to work(3 days ago) anyway there is one tiny problem......can chankas run at full speed?, does making the game into a virtual CD make a diffrence?

[hagbard]

Running it from a CD drive is recommend and should be faster about load times, but more or less the same for gaming. Chankast needs a pretty powerfull CPU and video card

BTW I'm glad to see it's working and would like to know how you did it, so perhaps you can still say the magic words IMHO, don't you think? ;)

[ramzak]

can chankas play at full speed?, or still on development in terms of normal speed, graphics, preformence...

The emulator is pretty sweet XD the only problem is that my SLOW computer has better graphic card and my fast computers have normal graphic cards -_-

the emulator uses 100% of my CPU... is there any other way to make the game faster?,

[hagbard]

Yes, but some games wouldn't run at stable speed.

To make it a bit faster, you can use the overclocking option (overclock the emulated DC, not your PC). I quote the help file:


The "CPU 100" displays the current speed of the SH4, the main CPU in the dreamcast console. Since Chankast v0.2, you have the possibility to overclock and underclock the CPU to affect the emulation speed during gameplay with the following keys:

+ Overclock the SH4

- Undercolock the SH4




The clock speed ranges from 50% up to any value you can imagine. If you have a slow PC, you might gain some speed if you underclock the CPU slightly. Faster PCs can get more FPS than the actual dreamcast by increasing the clock rate - useful by getting past slowdowns or other stuff.

[ramzak]

I dont understand that -_-....so your saying that i should press + or - while playing the emulator?

[hagbard]

Yes, that's the way

[ramzak]

thanks.


(see next page--->)

[ramzak]

yup i tried that XD when i posted the last message XD too lazy to post back becuase playing sfiii was good XD it helps but it doesnt run at normal speed -_-.... anymore recomembed ways to increase the speed? thanks buddy XD your really good at this chankas emulation. if you ever need help on psp emulation, then ill help you out XD.....does the CPU only go up to 50%?
