a problem with chankast

[Alon32]

well, i downloaded chankast and a soul calibur bios in a cdi format and when i mounted it on daemon tools chankast said it cant read the bios dc or something like that.
so then i converted the cdi to iso and it didnt help. so then i thought its something with my computer (pent 3 800 mhz, geforce fx 5200, 256 RAM and windows XP, yeah it sux), so i tried to work it on another computer which have pent 4 with i think 2 ghz but im not sure what was the graphic card but i dont think that it matters too much...
and with the 2nd computer, it went black screen for like a second and and then returned and said that chankast can read the bios dc again...
i think its also important to add that the 2nd cant finish the daemon tools installation due to the fact that the comp has a magic card (this thing that format and reinstall windows on c drive) so when it askes me to reboot i just choose the "later" option and activate daemon tools.

camn, i wrote too much... well, do u guys have any suggestions?

Your best bet is nullDC. It's the best emulator out there and more active and update newer version. The chankast didnt update at all and it is in deep sleep or official dead. Dont know.

i laso tried chankastex which supposed to be some kind of a better chankast i think.

nullDC is much better. I tried with chankast and it was an okay emulator. nullDC rocks and best emulator.

[Alon32]

but that means chankast worked for you, to me it doesnt and thats the problem.
i'll download and try this nullDC emulator, but i dont think that the emulator was the problem.

you need sega dreamcast bios. It worked for me but I disliked chankast very much. nullDC is much better, great graphic, update all the time and fast.

[Alon32]

well, i tried this nullDC and the same problem occured.

[azoreseuropa]

Wait... You need to be specifically.. Have dreamcast bios ? Show your screenshot of the folder.. And your computer specs is not clear... Yes, it is strict to know what video card because nulldC is like PCSX2 sorta. Please be specially

[Alon32]

it is all written in the 1st post. o.o
i have the bios and i have pentium 3 800 Mhz processor, Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 graphic card and 256 RAM.

I know but I want you to write it again.

nullDC ----

Recomended System Requirements:

----------------------------------

- CPU: AMD Athlon XP/64/Turion at 2GHz or Intel Pentium 4 at 2.6GHz or equivalent.
- Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 4 TI or ATi Radeon 8500.
- RAM: 512MB
- Operating System: Windows 2000/XP/2003
- December Redistributable of DirectX 9c

If your PC does not meet all the above requirements the emulator will not work correctly or even not at all.

The Chankast and nullDC have different ways for bios to run properly.

Once you have them, rename dc_bios to dc_boot.bin and copy both this and dc_flash into the /data directory of nullDC.


Chankast ----

recommended system requirements:

Intel Pentium 4, AMD Athlon XP or any other processor that supports SSE (2 Ghz or faster recommended)
ATI Radeon or Nvidia GeForce video card (or any other card that supports hardware T&L)
DirectX 9b
Windows XP, 2003 or 2K (other Windows versions will not work)

Bios:

Note that you must also have the two necessary Dreamcast bios files called "dc_bios.bin" and "dc_flash.bin" in order to run this emulator.

If your PC does not meet all the above requirements the emulator will not work correctly or even not at all.

Hope I can help you with that.
