If you have a very fast video card it may run at that speed. The processor speed is not the real matter here, because 2.8 GHz is fast enough and even more if it's double-core. A video card is the key component here and it must ve a very fast one (high-end video cards = $$$).
By the way, "Sonic Adventure 2 Battle" was only released for GameCube, so you really meant "Sonic Adventure 2". They differ from some stuff like better multiplayer in the GameCube version.
yes youre right but i need to know how to start the emulator,
do i need to burn the files by its iso form to a disc and the press start?
or how do i give the emulator a command to just run the iso file from my hard disk?
(and yes i have a Verry Good video card)
You need to mount the ISO with Daemon-Tools or some other image mounting app.
yes but do i need to run a game from a cd or from a iso file,
(i couldnt find a "place" that lets you pick an iso file i only see start wich means to start a game from g:\ (its my dvd-rom)) do you know a place that i cant choose a iso file?
You can't run a Dreamcast GD-ROM directly from your computer, because your CD-ROM drive won't read Dreamcast discs (it's like putting a DVD-ROM into a CD-ROM drive). Also, the writing method is different from common data CD-ROMs you burn with your computer.
Daemon-Tools acts like a virtual CD/DVD-ROM drive that lets you mount an ISO like a real CD-ROM (it will appear on My Computer like a real CD-ROM so you can have two CD-ROM drives: the real one and the virtual one). Just tell Chankast to boot the disc with the secondary CD-ROM drive and the game will run. Of course, not all games are supported by Chankast. Some games require a CD loader (Utopia).
So its like burning a Ps2 game to a dvd-media?
I don't know how a PlayStation 2 works, but I'm sure you can't put a GD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive.
What im plannning to do is:
1. im downloading sonic adventure 2 from a torrent.
2. burn it to a virtual cd-rom(like you wrote).
3. run chankcast.
will that work?
The torrent you're downloading is already a virtual CD-ROM, so you don't need to burn anything (unless it's smaller than a CD-ROM, less than 700 MB). Just mount it with Daemon-Tools and boot it with Chankast like a real CD-ROM.
