Feet of Fury still hangs on the loading screen. :(

I'm having major troubles booting up any homebrew in this release. Could well be a prob at my end though (disc emulation software, bad images, etc).

Edit: Dcastle boots and plays brilliantly still

no homebrew still??? wow thats not good

To say 'no homebrew still' is false. More correct would be 'not much homebrew still' ;)

Alice works excellently (300+ fps)
Dcastle likewise
Revolver too

Seems to have taken a backwards step for Homebrew at the moment... but it's still early days.

yea meant to clarify that now that im reading all over the place and it seems it is running a little bit more homebrew than before.thats a great thing,seeing that is the only thing keeping the dc alive and kicking.gotta love it

I decided to throw the contest entries at this build. So far, Boll freezes at the intro screen.

Maqiupai causes a crash.

Okay this will gonna be our new Compatibility list for Chanka Alpha v02...

Any other things tested? Any progress recognizable for our scene's devvers?

I almost think there isn't any hearing the reports so far... >:(

Nice to see a speedy update of this emu though... Maybe the next release... ???

damn you SSE :)

My athlon 700 doesn't work with it, so I won't be able to test it till monday at work :)

If no one saw my earlier post, here is a workaround for those of you with video cards that don't support hardware TnL.

Run a utility called 3d-Analyze - http://www.tommti-systems.com/main-Dateien/files.html which allows emulating hardware TnL or forcing it to use software TnL.
