Hi I'm new to this emulator stuff. I just grabbed Chankast from the site here and the game I'm trying to play is in .cdi format.
I have no idea how to play this game and would really appreciate it if you guys could give me a hand.
EDIT: Oh and here's the exact file name if it'll help:
[DC] Spawn In The Demon's Hands (US) (CDI - Selfboot) Echelon - RssV.cdi
I have had trouble with CDI files, I tried using Alcohol 120% to mount it and that wouldn't work. I tried to burn it to disc and that wouldn't work.
It kept taking me to the CD Player screen.
I tried other CD plugins aswell.
Has anyone else had trouble with this, help would be appreciated by both of us.
I never used images with Chankast, but .cdi files should be burned by DiscJuggler.
Could you elaborate please?
I think it is quite simple.
First he mentions he has not tried image files before, thus nothing to eleborate on due to inexperience in that area.
Then he mentions a program to burn the CDI file so you can then use.
Download the Dicjuggler program at http://www.padus.com/ then install that program by running the downloaded file, run the program and follow the instruction to burn the .CDI image file to a recordable compact disc.
I hope that helps you, it helped me.
mount it with daemon tools and that's it ;)
I tried mounting it with daemon tools but when I do, I get a windows pop up menu asking me to select a function to perform whenever the "CD" that I'm inserting is inserted.
Also when I try mounting it with daemon tools, and try running with Chankast (I assume I hit Run > Start). It gives me an error saying "Cannot read TOC from i: drive". (i: drive is my virtual drive)
And I can't burn it because my CDs only hold 700mb while the file is around 777mb.
You probably can. Image files are generally larger than the data that gets burned. Load the .cdi in DiscJuggler and see for yourself ;)Quote:

So once there I go find the .cdi and drag it to 'Open Session'.

This is what it looks like now, and it's way over the 700mb limit mark.
Any tips on what to do from here would be great. I'm not very bright when it comes to this stuff.
I checked out this release and Echelon should have released a version with downgraded FMVs. If they would have done that, it should fit on a normal CD-ROM.
Perhaps you can try downloading this from somewhere else, so that you can find the correct one.
Are you talking about the rom?
I'm talking about the ISO, the .cdi file you downloaded.Quote:

You were supposed to extract it, so no problem here. Sorry, I'm also out of ideas now :oQuote:

wonderful.
I will try getting a good version of the game myself. It will take some time, but perhaps this will work.
