ok so i have a problem. when i boot up chankast, i get to the menu. now i know its the menu becuase i know the controller, the memory card and the mucis symbol blah blah.. but, all i can see is the shapes, and some blotches of color? anyone know why its not being displayed properly? is it becuase my computer just sucks?

also do i need daemon tools to play everything?

Hmm, I too have problems with Chankast Alpha v.025,
I get the error: "can't read TOC from k:drive"

--I also was wandering if Chankast could run the Cd images of emulators or apps so I could check if I made the correct image to burn without wasting CDs :)

Use the xxx CD-ROM interface

No. Chankast has poor compatibility with any homebrew game/emulator.

ask to your friends, father or a brother...
Anyway, the problems that you have on Chankast must be because your video card is not good. The only thing that you can do is get a new PC ;)

are you trying to read a real cd-rom or from a virtual drive ?

Yes it can. Use BootDreams (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=21626) to generate a CDI file and mount it in Alcohol virtual drive (or Deamon Tools). Then run Chankast and choose your virtual drive as your emulated drive.

If Chankast displays SEGA logo, the disc is bootable, and depending of the proggy you are trying, you can try if it works well or not. But as JKKDARK said, the Chankast homebrew compatibilty is very poor (and nullDC, the successor of Chankast, has more much better homebrew compatibity).

maybe because your integrated card. Then there's nothing that you can do if you use your actual pc.
