Yes you can run Selfbootable CDI games on DC emulator (Chankast).
CDI is a discjuggler file and the (Selfboot) means that it boots by itself.
It dosen't need a program to make it selfbootable.
Do I have to burn anything? or Is it just like arcade roms where you just launch the emu and load the game and play?Quote:

Ok, I just DL'ed a Dead or Alive 2 CDI and I mounted it on Daemon tools. It lock up every time I try to load it in Chankast.
Perphaps it's not selfboot, not every CDI file is: CDI only means it's a DiscJuggler format. Also the game might not be correctly emulated or it has a Echelon intro.
To run non selfboot games, you need the Dreamcast BootCD aka Utopia Boot Disc: Run it first on Chankast with the Daemon Tools virtual drive, when it loads change the emulated image for your game. Make a google or forum search to find it, and use the 1.1 version if possible
About the Echelon intro, check this thread
hi, i'm new here. here is my problems: after the xxx.cdi is charged, i open the chankast, and i push on start. then it asks me to set date (twice). so it opens the main menu. i click on play game and all this restart from the biginning. what is the problem? what should i do???
1) Get the Utopia Boot Disc 1.1 and DC bios files (dc_bios.bin & dc_flash,bin), unzip both on the Chankast folder
2) Load the Utopia Boot Disc first on Daemon Tools, start Chankast and emulation, then wait until this screen appears
Spoiler »
3) Swap the UBD with your CDI iso file, and wait some seconds. Hopefully it will work.
:happy: really thanks!! :)
uhm, sorry, but it still doesn't work :( . i got the utopia v1.2 (CDI), and those ones
