Chankast Alpha 0.1 Released

Chanka or Chankast the very highly anticipated Dreamcast Emulator for Windows has been released. :)[br][br]The Emulator itself comes in 3 flavours, a normal alpha, new gfx and a capcom hack download.[br][br]Info from the official Site [br][br] Chankast is an advanced SEGA DREAMCAST emulator for x86 platforms.[br][br]This project started 3 months ago, it's a joint venture between baktery, unai and garrofi. It hasn't been easy, a lot of hours and headaches, but we think it's time to release an alpha version. We hope you will be surprise, you can play commercial games at a decent speed with a 2ghz CPU. Chankast is a very fast emulator with no hle parts.[br][br]We haven't done this emulator to promote piracy, it's a tribute to the great DC.[br][br]The emulator is far from perfect, expect new releases with more speed, better graphics, better sound, and more compatibility :) [br][br]Download from Here

Fantastic News :)

games need to be selfboot and support the VGA cable

Also, WinCE games do not work... so don't waste ur time trying to boot those

Hmmm.

Windows XP SP1
AMD 2000XP+
32mB Savage DDR GFX
etc etc

And not able to get Chanka to run anything ???

How disappointed am I :-[

But I will try each new release

Good work Chanka Team

Wow! Very very nice first release! Just tested it on Sonic Adventure, and only has a few flaws!

I am just going to try it on my desktop PC too.

which is

Windows XP SP1
Direct X 9.0b
AMD 2000+ XP
64mb nVidia GF3

And see if its a Graphics card thing !!

wouldnt be surprised at all as this savage is rubbish on my laptop ;D

Cool, Will have to dump my bios so and give it a run again some homebrew

It simply crashes my machine. As soon as i hit Init or whatever. (im using the newgfx version)

Windows XP SP1
Dual Athlon 2200+ MPs
1GB DDR ECC ram
ATI 9800 XT

Also, can someone elaborate as to the differences between the three releases?

Thanks for posting im curious to see what the lowest spec machine is that will run Chankast
