Chankast emulation problem

[slipstream19]

hey guys. i can get everything else to work in gameex but not chankast

i have read every faq and still cant get it to work.

i have chankast 2.5 (latest) and chankast_launch.exe

i can get games running from the emulator but not from chankast_launch.exe

what happens when i run chankast launch.exe with the given command from the forum on this

paige i only get deamontools to mount and chankast to launch the game. What happens then is that nothing happens. Chankast wont run it, i manually have to press run in chankast interface to begin the game.

my chankast launch copy´s command line looks like this

D:\dreamcast\chankast_launch.exe -screen 640x480 -fullscreen -cpu 108 -showstats -daemon "C:\Program\DAEMON tools\daemon.exe" 0 "D:\Dreamcast\Soul Calibur (U).cdi"

What hapens is that chankast is launched, Soul calibur (game) is mounted into "F" (device 0) that chankast uses. but then it just freezes. when i press run with the mouse it starts.

how is this? Why is this? Why do i have to press run in chainkast for it to launch?

can anyone help? i would be forever thankfull.

This is my command line. (Note. I use alcohol 120% to mount my images. I also use the chankast launch by dragon king.)

chankast-launch.exe [ROMPath]\[RomFile] -capcomhack -zwrite -zwritealpha -resolution 800x600

okey ive not tryed it yet. BUT

i got it working with chankast launch ,but only with "input interface xxxx" , if i use the input interface with elsmi it wont start.

the input interface xxxx is bad for my controllers (hard to configure controllers).

anyone knows how to get chankast launch to start with input interface from elsmi?

I'm the author of chankast_launch, so maybe I can help. I'm actually thinking about doing a big update for it so it uses an ini file instead. It should be alot easier to use then.

Unfortunately I remember another user having the same problem when using a different input interface. I'm not sure what it changes to make chankast_launch not work with it. Perhaps for now try Howard's wrapper?

I'll take a look at this problem when I do the next update.

Hello!

Very nice to speak to the original programmer. Youre really great man!

Thanks for taking the time. i really really appriciate that man.

If it will work with the "elsemi interface" i would be very very gratefull!

meanwhile i will try howards wrapper and see how that goes. (probably wont work though)

(the xxx input interface really suxx)

When can we expect an update to chankast launch and where do we find it? (i found it via a thread in this forum. )

You motivated me to do an update It's much easier to setup now without needing to create all those shortcuts.

nice headkaze. to aid in your memory i was the guy with the elsemi problems. never got around it, and gave up with my usb controller, but luckily the input for the keyboard was easy enough to configure, and worked nicely with my ipac. there was a time i tried using the joytokey program, but it was not needed never the less. my chankast .25 and your original wrapper are still working marvelously as i play powerstone almost every day. is there a working soul calibur out there though? i've downloaded it twice from different places and as it is stated in the chankast compatibility list the character select menu looks pretty haggard, but supposively it should run full speed during gameplay.. mine ran quite sluggishly though. please let me know the answer, for i have given up on that game, but would love to have it part of the cab.

EDIT.. i'm not asking where the .cdi is if there is one, just merely wondering if it is possible i may have come across some duds. do you need rather high system specs to run this one in particular? my powerstone runs nice and fluent as does grandia 2, so i'm guessing my PC is adequate.

Yeah the messed up graphics on the select screen is pretty standard, but the game itself runs fine you just have to set the CPU to ~120.

So if your using the old wrapper of mine add -cpu 120 to your shortcut's list of options.

kaze, would this also work with marvel vs capcom 2?

It dosn't work for me, but it's probably not selfbootable. Aparently it runs okay.

Check out the Chankast compatibility list

You can read the FAQ about making a non-bootable game selfbootable.

Also you might want to check out Darkman's Input Plugin.

kaze, i tried -cpu 120 and it improved the speed, but it still isn't at full speed. is there another number i can try?? it originally was at -cpu 108.

thanks katuuuz (soul calibur)
