I just recently got my DC emulator (Chankast_alpha_25) incuding bios and plugins.... Everything seems to be running fine once I start the Emulator. I'm not trying to play any roms, instead, I am trying to play actual games I bought (my dreamcast broke) on the emulator. Whenever I press Play on the dreamcast menu, it asks me to insert a game when I already have. I can't get my emulator to play the games!

PLZ help!!

Thx in advance!

Unfortunately, AFAIK, Chankast can't play actual DC games, as your computer should be incapable of reading them properly. You have two choices:
1) Find another DC you can buy (check http://forums.dcpawnshop.com/ or Ebay, or possibly GameCrazy, EB Games or Babbage's)
2) Find illegal copies of your games, which I really do not recommend, but, unfortunately, they are required in order to use Chankast properly (although, the BIOS is illegal as well, so it's not that big of a stretch).

If you choose the second method, please remember that you cannot discuss that at all in these forums. We will not be able to help you in the least.
