Marvel Vs Capcom 2 Dreamcast emulator screenshot

[basis]

just out of interest, does anyone know if there are PS1 and Sega Saturn emulators available? and also if they have ISOS too. im not asking where to get them, just if theyre available.

anyway, i guess this means will be having loads of new avatars and mugen characters, hmm? :)

[T-Kimura]

yah, a saturn emu is in development and theres lots of psx emu's and yes there are isos for saturn and psx.

[BlodiaVulcan5]

it keeps crashing for me, and i've done everything you guys have said. when i press "init", it crashes and gives me that report error screen. :(

[-Bblad3]

just wait for the next version to come :D

There are a couple of working saturn emus already, they've been out for a while. System specs are incredibly high, much closer to Chanka's than you'd think.

[blackadde]

Even the most advanced Saturn emu's run slower for me than Chanka does.

[T-Kimura]

i know there are lots of saturn emus but a lot got discontinued and suck so im looking foward to that saturnin emu which seems to be making some alright progress.

Have you used the ripped commercial one that Sega programmed for it's online Japanese Saturn game buying service? It's the best one.

anything on an update?:bluu:

i've seen that shit too, its still available for dl if u look hard lol someone else is working on it i think. i never knew companies actually show interest in emu developers really.. i think a team was working on it then they got hired by sega.

If only he were in the game.... :D

haha whoa those actually look pretty good

[Cooh]

hey T-kimura i was womdering if u could help me. i finally got this 2 run after i used this 3D thing 2 help it but when i mount a iso i wont recognize it as a dreamcast game. Some1 told me 2 use self boot iso's so i got 1 and it still just goes 2 the screen where u can listen 2 music and stuff. I am using torrent files though, i think that may be the problem becuase daemon tools cannot read the file. so what i did was use yet another program that supposedly turn the torrent file into an iso. but it does work. daemon tools reads it, but like I said earlier Chanka just sees it as a reuglar cd. If u or any1 can help me please do. My email address is marissataylor2001@yahoo.com, my aim is lasuavion1

Lasuavion

p.s. T-kimura i think i played u b 4 on mame in xvs

[reggie_miller]

hi, i need help with that too, i always get the timescreen even. I have the mvc2 selfboot for dc from www.suprnova.com but it still doesn't recognize it. Can anyone help? My email is replyto_me2004@hotmail.com if anyone can give me some advice. Thx a lot

yea i have the self boot file 2 from the same place how did u get daemon tools 2 recognize it? when i checked properties it just said torrent file. so i used a program 2 change it 2 an iso but it didn't work.

[Jinrai]

Remember the fire graphical glitch in CvS2? It's not in Chankast. Comparing side-by-side in the attachment, you'll see that not only is the glitch gone, but Chankast seems to place the super bars too low.

[VietKhan]

hot stuff, say...

could anyone link me to where i can dl this dreamcast emulator and games? i'm bad with computers :/

[CainMarko]

As stated before, asking for games is against the forum's rules.

And if you would reread the thread, both questions will be answered.

[T-Kimura]

for reggie and cooh, you guys should read the tutorial at www.chanka.org.. but i think if your stuff takes you to the set time screen all the time you need a new bios/flash file, some are bad.

[portnoyd]

God be praised. Getting 65fps, and it's too frickin fast. (I just got a new PC... P4 3.4ghz, 2 gigs of ram, 256 9800xt) Any word of a frame limiter?

"And about chankast, we are gonna release a new chankast version this weekend. You are gonna love the new features:

- more stable, no more random crashes
- better gfx core
- more compatibility
- speed improvements
- cable selector
- new pad support
- and a lot of more features"

from the dev.

[ComboMasher]

Awesome, i cant wait till this thing gets online support. This emu is awesome, i just hope with the next release i will get better frame rates.

[EWAShock]

Yeah a max frame rate would be nice for those of us with fast computers, so far though everything is leaps and bounds beyond what I would have expected.

I just hope they fix the little graphics problems for the sprite rippers. :( Shadows going over the feet and other stuff like that.

[EWAShock]

Chankast .2 is out, the Capcom Hack is built into what seems to be a normal build of it, lots of graphics fixes, input fixes as well, except one thing is happening, directions are making assists happen which is annoying. Not sure why yet, could be something with my input, and input is so simple, the way all guis should be, picture of the controller, line with a blank, click and pick.

Games are still too fast for me, no frame limit implimented yet, there's a few video options, but for me they don't seem to do anything. Everything is on the fly adjustments too, no restarting the emulator and stuff. This is really really impressive. The shadows overlapping the feet has been fixed by the way, rip away.

http://www.emutalk.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=16547

That is just the emulator, no bios included (for legal stuff).

Edit: The input issue seems to be gone, must have been a mess up with my old input file. My arcade stick works great too.

Matt

[EEK]

lol the control input screen is sooo vastly improved. :)

It seems to run even slower on my comp than Chankast v. 1 tho'. :(

edit: Awesome, you can remove the statistics data at the lower left corner, that helps with ripping a lot.

And there's a bug.........keyboard D button is like preset to R trigger

EDIT: and now it seems 'C' on the keyboard is preset to L-trigger lol
I can't get around this! lol

[DearestHelpless]

Yeah I noticed that bug with both "D" and "C" buttons on the keyboard :bluu: . Guess its quite easy to overlook the simplest things.

But overall MvC2 runs slower on my computer (yes i'm using the capcom hack) but CvS2 runs perfectly fine now. It seems they've made the inputs a lot more forgiving with qcf, or hcf moves - which means its quite easy to get a respectable game happening even on keyboard.

It's amazing how well they've got this emulator running on it's second release.

[-Bblad3]

omfg..it still crashes on me...wtf?

[T-Kimura]

omg.. 3s runs hella good for me now..

[sixtymhz]

Same here, crashes after the blue swirl, but the logo isn't blank for me. I'll try another game. I was trying to play GGX.

[gl0ry]

third strike runs at almost full speed with no graphical errors....

[Shin-RoTeNdO]

Okay. I was able to bypass the blue swirl now. Except now I get the dreaded insert disc screen and music/vmu/etc...

This is how I got by the crash after the swirl. I configured my controls, went into options and set my cable type to ntsc, priority to normal, capcom hack, and then I went to run -> exit. Re-opened the program and everything I had changed stayed the same and went to run>start and it went straight to the swirl, then brought me to the insert disc screen. So far so good. At least I'm making an improvement on getting this emu to work for me.

Rotendo. Replace you dc_flash.bin I think it overwrites it somehow because I got it workign and it kept taking me to that screen until I overwrote it again with the one I had

For those of you with some bugs check out 0.2a.

Chankast alpha 0.2a released.

Bugs fixed:

- vga/ntsc bug fixed
- control pad fixed
- fixed a bug in the video renderer that was causing some game to crash

your processor/CPU doesn't support a cpu instruction called SSE.

[T-Kimura]

some comps might actually have it but disabled, you just need to go in to your bios to enable it is what i hear

[SSJGouKi]

yea true, for people that are getting the SSE error can try to go to the bios and see if its disabled. if there is no option for it then your pretty much out of luck.

[T-Kimura]

hmm i've heard when this hits ver 1.0 they'll work on online play

[CainMarko]

Is there a way to play with a legit GD-Rom, or do I need to use a .CDI rip or burned CD?

[caliagent#3]

i can't get it to run off of my HD but it works off of the CD. Any suggestions to get the games to run off my HD?

I have daemon tools and set it the same way they instruct to do so, and it still doesn't work

[EWAShock]

There's no conventional way to get a CD or DVD rom drive to read a GD Rom, but you can burn what must be a self booting image file with a program like Disc Juggler and it'll work, or mount the self booter to a virtual drive on your computer without burning using Daemon Tools.

Matt

[Dragonfave723]

I need help. I downloaded the latest version. The emulation still can't recognize the game CD I placed in my DVD-Rom drive when I hit "Play". Daemon tool is still running in the background though. I even tried open/close the DVD drive then open up Chanka, but it's still not working. It was working fine before when the first version of Chanka came out last month. I don't know what the hell am I'm suppose to do now. :mad: :bluu:


Any assistant/tip on this would be greatly appreciated. Please email me:

Thank you for the link. I'll try to get some help from there. :)

GRR!!!!

Our laptops at work have Win2k on them by default. My pal who's updated to XP can run the exact same setup I have and the exact image no problem. I can't get it to recognize the cd. So I suppose it's an Win2k/XP thing...hopefully they'll get that fixed and then I can rip my own stuff...

My AMD at home just crashes when the Sega screen is supposed to pop up....*sigh* can't win for losing...

[T-Kimura]

http://www.fanix.com/files/fullscreen-setup.exe.. program to fake full screen on the emu, looks nice.. just set your task bar to auto hide

[EWAShock]

lol you can also just stretch the borders out and it gets it pretty close to full screen, what's this utility I hear about that you can reduce the speed? I get up to like 80 fps on MvC2, especially during combos, turbo 3 practically.

Matt

[Vidness]

Found this, haven't tested it yet...


http://www.emutalk.net/archive/index.php/t-21181

Basically, it says to do this:

1. insert cd
2. run cdrwin (leave it open)
3. run chankast

This only works in my cd-r drive consistently.. the first time, it worked in my dvd-rom drive as well. Unfortunately, it absolutely will not work on virtual drives, maybe because they load their own drivers before cdrwin :(

Gonna try it out in a few hours :)

[StreakSRM]

Didn't work for me :(

[Vidness]

Me either :(

Maybe I can find alternative aspi drivers...You win2k peeps out there let me know if you get something to work :)

Fantom CD is much better than Daemon's tool.

All I did was mount the game into the virtual drive and start the DC emu, and it works without all that selecting drive stuff.

[Cletus Kasady]

When I try to set it up on my computer (2.4 Ghz, 496 MB of RAM), the Bios runs fine and the DC menu works...but when I try to load a game using Daemon's virtual driver, it crashes.

Should using Fantom CD fix this?

[Plutoburn]

Does anyone know how full screen works? I have v0.2a but I can't see anywhere to find the option.

I tried Fantom CD and Daemon tools, they both don't work in Win2k. Daemon tools did work, however, in XP on the same exact laptop. I imagine the latest Fantom would work as well (the one that can handle cdi images).

new ver of chanka is to come out probably this week.. supposedly it'll be able to play stuff on lower end pc's(600-700 mhz).. if this is true, god damn.

[HellMUT]

is there anything like this for xbox games? because i dont have any dreamcast games.

[Shin Ace]

If you don't have any games, ask your friends for some.
Original GD-roms are of no use, so you can only really use the cd images, which are downloadable. Seriously, do you need snes cartridges to use the emulators? Do the cartridges do you any good? no...

The only real good use of DC emulation that I can foresee will be online play. Other than that, it's a toy.

you know you can just overclock or underclock the sh4 in the emu if it's going too fast for you, right? try - or + on the numpad in game until you get a decent fps.

I mean something that will make it stay at 60fps, and impliment frame skip where needed, because on my computer ingame play goes up to like 80 fps, then drops, it's all over the place even by doing that, it's very annoying to have to keep adjusting.

If you're too cheap to buy a DC, why would you spend 10x more on a 2 Ghz pc just to play the games at a decent fps? And even then, it's still inferior to the DC in terms of quality and speed.

How much are DC's going for nowadays? 20$? That's cheaper than a movie for 2 with snacks.

I agree, if you want to play games at a good fps on SP and not online, go buy a DC for 15$ then get some cdi, and then the cdi to nrg converter, burn ur games, play...

If you knew anything about PCs you wouldn't of just said this. First of, the PC is by far more powerful then the dc in terms of quality and speed. Assuming MvC2 was ported over to the pc instead of it being emulated. If the producers wanted to, they can probably make MvC2 so much better then the dc version, it would put the dc version to complete and utter shame with todays high end vid cards and fast processors like the A64 or P4EE. The dc is equipped with a Hitachi SH4 200 MHZ processor with a PowerVR series 2 gfx core. LOL Even tho thats pretty impressive for a console, that just pals into comparsion to what a high end pc rig has like a Athlon 64 3400+/P4EE 3.4 GHZ with a GeForce 6800Ultra/Radeon X800 XT PE.

Also the emu is in alpha stages, I think this has been said before. If the authors continue to update the emu and make it better, it'll probably be better then the dc version anyway! Most likely in the future will be able to enable AA/AF and to put whatever screen res we like.

[Vidness]

Jeez when will the win2k ver be released...*sigh*

[EWAShock]

They would have to make it better than the arcade, which they couldn't have done by the time it was released on the home systems because they weren't allowed to change anything due to licensing.

The DC version is in essence the arcade version, the music is slightly different here and there, but that has nothing to do with it's processing ability, as far as graphics, and sound effects, it's arcade perfect, it just looks bad on a TV screen because of the high res arcade monitors.

So only in theory, MvC2 on a PC could be better, but with the limits they would have to work with, the only thing they could do is increase the res on the BGs or something unnecessary like that, and make the characters look even worse. It's easier to port Naomi to Dreamcast because they are very similar processors, with one major difference being ram, but MvC2 never uses more ram in the arcade at any one time than DC still has available, loading time is virtually non-existant. On PS2, the fighting engine is pretty much emulated, I've heard not too great things about the PS2 version, but I don't see how it could be any worse in all honesty.

I do love Chankast though, it's easier than having to unhook my monitor and plugging it into the VGA adapter just to play MvC2 at high res.

haha no. its only been 3 releases. but its progressing nice and another version should be out later in the month.

[Vidness]

It finally works for me now! Be on the lookout for some MvC2 sprites after this weekend.

[-Bblad3]

omfg how unbelievably gay...alright I downloaded 25 and than it kept freezing when i loaded it...but than somehow when I tried loading it up again...it worked! so I was jumping in joy than I had to close chanka for some reason...than when I tried playing MvC2 again, it started freezing on me AGAIN! does neone know why this is happening?

[T-Kimura]

some people have that problem of it randomly working and randomly not.. ask at the official forum and see if they can help u. http://www.emutalk.net/forumdisplay.php?f=101

Im having problems with mine, it says something about a TOC thing, if anyone faced this problem can you plz help me out. Thanks

[T-Kimura]

Alright thanks!

[FilthyMcNasty]

Is there any way to get up my FPS, Im only getting 20-30 frames....Hella slow:mad:

[T-Kimura]

overclock or underclock the sh4. you can do this by pressing "-" or "+" on the num pad.. it may give you some minor speed ups.

[FilthyMcNasty]

thanks:D do you guys know of any drivers that could help this?

[BestUnbeatable]

Hey Everyone. I'm rather new to all this. I always loved Marvel vs Capcom (spending a lot of $$$ at the arcade.) It was a thrill to know I can play it on my computer but I don't know how...Can someone guide me where and how to download the game as well as the emulator? It would be greatly appreciated...Thanks.

[T-Kimura]

go to www.chanka.org to download the emu, theres a guide and everything on there i also believe. and giving you a link to dl the game would = illegal i think so try and find it yourself or get the real game and rip the image.

[-Bblad3]

alright I finally got my chanka to work...now how do u get it to pause the whole emu so I could take sshots instead of pressing enter which is pause for the game?

[basis]

hey can someone help me out.

most of my games are self bootable, but when i open them up with my pc to see whats inside there are loads of files and folders instead of one file which is a .iso. i think it is because of this i cant load the game. can anyone help me out?

[T-Kimura]

? mount the image with daemon tools, select the drive where its mounted in on chankast and run.

[Razielian]

So does the game run smooth enough to allow you to do big combo's and maybe even some of the infinites in the game?
I dont' have a dc anymore but I want to learn magneto for his combos and was wondering if they can be done.

[T-Kimura]

yes, runs fine. you could prolly make a combo video using the emu even right now if you have a good comp.

[FilthyMcNasty]

My comp specs:

2.4 ghz Pentium 4
512 DDR ram
64mb shared mem

The emu runs at 40fps
why?

[T-Kimura]

you get 40 fps on what? well performance is diff for every comp. and the emu isn't even in beta stages yet, just be happy you can actually play on it.

[Zakuta]

My shit still doesnt work! :P

*First version: Loads then crashes.
*Second version: Gets to DreamCast logo, then crashes.
*Third Version: Gets past DreamCast logo, screen goes black (loads up the game) then it crashes.

Whats next, It loads up the title screen then it crashes?! >>>:[

Someone help me out! :depress:

[T-Kimura]

whats ur comp specs? try changing the cd plugin to the other one btw.

[MikeC]

are there decent quality sticks you can get for computers that plug in through USB or something?

[EWAShock]

You can order something like the X-arcade but it's like $100, I've never seen or used one, but supposedly it's really good. I use a cheap solution and it works for me, PSX arcade stick with a radioshack PSX-USB adapter, total cost $19, $8 for the dual sided arcade stick called "Blaze" and $11 for the adapter. People put it down because it's not true arcade parts, but it's Japanese style, with an 8 way joystick knob top that clicks, and convex buttons. The button layout is kinda rounded if you'e ever seen the way a normal Soul Calibur button layout is, it's like two rows of that, since I believe the stick is designed by Namco or a company involved with them.

[TGC]

Best way is to either buy a converter ( i suggest from lik-sang) or hack a USB controller pad. Depending on your liking.

If you want to hack a pad, and have common grounds becaues of some reason, such as using ports to change systems, then i suggest the Saitek P150. It looks like a sidewinder basically. But only has 6 face buttons, and 2 shoulders. If u use mame, you can wire the shoulders for start, and coin.

If you don't care about common grounds, then use the Gravis gamepad pro. Lots of buttons.

[SSJ4Goku128]

It runs slow because:

A.) You are using the emu with a CD.

or

B.) You have a crappy videocard

More than likely it is A. To fix this, get an image of the game, and then mount it.

[TGC]

my game runs only 25 FPS as well, it's neither A or B.

My video card is a radeon 9600 128MB. That's it

My specs

p4 1.8
386 DDR Ram

My processor isn't strong enough, or at least what i think.

Underclocking doesn't work either, nor does over.

It's just my comp.

Also, for those who's emu crashes: I think this may work for some, but you have to use NEW and FRESH bios. Meanin bios that haven't been used by the emulator before.

[FilthyMcNasty]

I have no idea whta or of I have a video card:confused:

Same here, finally got it to work, or so I thought... then after the Capcom logo, it crashes on me, but haven't tried messing with the cd plugins yet. Tried both cd and image on the latest version... though I'm seeing improvement with each release.

IMO, it must be something more than just the type of video card your using, some other bug or something running in the background, but I'm not worried about it cuz I have a DC.

[bigdingding]

it has nothing to do with ur computer. my friends computer is a 3.6ghz and a 9800 pro and it still dosnt run cvs2 at full speed. the program is still in alpha. i hear that the next release is the first beta and they said it should run full speed with a 700mgz computer so just wait till then.

This emulator is good, but u need superb speed and memory to use it well. I suggest buying a DC and burning the game u wanna play. But thats my opinion. I know you all want online play, but just wait. I'm betting that capcom re-releases mvc2 for Xbox with online play, if fans ask enough for it.

They said they think by 1.0 they will have Netplay, and also there are players who will only play the arcade version of MvC2 because there are things that simply do not make a difference in high level game play, like an Anakaris/Cyclops infinite...yeah Anak is going to help you win tournaments. Anyways, yeah tiny little things here and there make the "elite" players not like the DC version. It's all in their heads.

[bloodriot]

Just one technical Q

I DON'T WANT ROMS etc

but there are a lot of dc isos and shit floating around on the net they don't work in chanka unless they cdi ? right?

and now SIZES INFO just info nothing else

why is ikagura only 17 megs
but everything else is 234 megs 512 megs etc I don't get it?

unzipped ikagura is 960 megs ??? WTF?

please someone help clear this up? please?

I thought the cdi's were only supposed to be 140 megs or so?
I just don't get it?

[EWAShock]

It could be a ripped version of the game, IE no videos etc, but I really only ever experienced that with PSX games.

Matt

[kong]

It doesn't really matter what format the iso is in. You run them mounted on a virtual drive anyway. It's not like epsxe where it runs the iso's directly. Unless you have a bin, in which case it means it's nonselfboot so you have to fix it before you can mount it. Cdi's, mdf's, etc can also be nonselfboot if they were posted by some yahoo though.

The size of the games depends on the size of the original game and the amount of garbage that's been ripped out.

[bloodriot]

damn I got it working

Alcahol is your friend!

CVS2 works great!!!
Mvc2 is a bit laggy?

I'm going to dl 3rdstrike how does that play as laggy as mvc2 or more like cvs2?

any tips for speedups guys?

I not sure if I'm crazy or not but a few of these tips worked:

1]installed and ran disk keeper
2]capcom hack
3]set to high priority (does it make a difference)
4]set PC resolution to 800 x 600
5]deleted all unecessary icons from desktop

[T-Kimura]

cvs2 runs the best for me too. for mvc2 you should underclock or overclock the sh4.. just press "-" or '+" on your numpad and you should get some speed ups, underclocking to 84 gives me more speed in mvc2, high priority helps and also full screen, and not running any unecessary programs in the background.

Ikagura surprised me with being 17 meg too. I was sure that something was going to be missing, but no. A lot of unzipped DC games are about 350 megs, with a dummy file taking up empty space. No fmv, tight programming, highly compressable data.

Anyways, just wanted to say thanks for this thread im now happily playing dreamcast games on my pc. practicing the rom infinite.

I also managed to get games working with the NTSC bios. i read in the forums that you needed the PAL (blue swirl) but i'd say not.

Im using radion 9200, amd 2600, 512 ram. And getting good framerates. Between 50 ~ 60 for MVC2.

Roll on version 1 with netplay, lol at trying to parry on kaillera. Regardless good shit.

mine runs MvC2 like shit, and it pisses me off cause my buds with worse comps than me can run it better and i dont know why

[bloodriot]

T-Kimura gave a great speedup tip for mvc2, have you tried it? Could be your graphics card I think?

yeah the size thing just bugs the crap out of me to Subliminal...
anyone know how sf3ts is running I'm busy dl soooOOOoo slow but worth it :clap:

[Subliminal UK]

Third strike works, but unfortunately too slow to be playable. I got didn't even finish the game i got a bit bored.

Was trying to practice red parrying since the game is running slow. But even still blue parries are somewhat random because of the speed changing constantly.

I'm impressed the Emulator works so well considering, the compatibility list is impressive already. I'm going to have to give these guys some $$$.

I remember ewashock saying something like mvc2 keeps crashing at a certain point? is this still true for you, i completed mvc2 without incident yesterday.

As for the speed issues, i don't think video card is too important, im only running a low end radeon. things to try include toggling the capcom hack and using - / + to change the speed of the processors. I think there is a utility called speedpig which might help you.

sub

[Subliminal UK]

I think you can get a good idea of 3S speed by listening. This is what short, jab, short super, ko sounds like on my 'puter.

it's a low rate sample rate for the sake of size. It's hard not to play this looped.

sub

[D.HYO]

Is that version with the online play still coming out? And are they improving on the emu itself?

[T-Kimura]

mine runs MvC2 like shit, and it pisses me off cause my buds with worse comps than me can run it better and i dont know why

turn off antialiasing in your vid card settings if its on, when my antialiasing is on, chankast lags for me.. but when its off, speed increases drastically

[AkumaTX]

Chances are that character would be better than any MK shit released.

[The Dark Evil]

Try running chankast with no game running(so its at the main screen),and go to VMS,then delete the save files,then load up the VMS browser again and load up the VMI.

Hi,

About our missing in action. Chankast has been a very stressful project, it needed a lot of time to get it working. We did an incredible work to get the first release working in only 3 months, it was a full time work. After the 0.25 release I didn't feel like doing chankast again so I took a long break, but
we have been improving a lot of things in that time. The emu is faster and need less memory to work, an early xbox version is working, it's great to see shenmue 1 on xbox , the sound is better, ...

About the future, we are thinking about releasing the source code and a binary with the latest changes.

^ thats the news i'd been hoping to hear for a while, cant wait until the next version is out now. i cant believe this shit can be ported to the xbox already..

Eh not really, you need a pretty good computer to run Chankast well. You might as well buy a Dreamcast for $15 and buy MvC2 (or burn it eh), and it'd be less time consuming and more convenient. I just see this as a portable thing, I can take MvC2 with me on the road with my laptop. =)

they said that it uses less ram now so u shouldnt need a pretty good computer just a decent one. and if they got it working on a xbox then ur cpu dosnt need to be that fast. cause a xbox runs a intel 733mgz cpu and 64mb ddr sdram memory.

[T-Kimura]

the emulator will get more and more optimized as they release, by the time its in beta stages you'll probably only need like 800 mhz

edit: since they're going to be releasing the source code and all that soon.. online play could be implemented by someone O_o

Well we'll wait and see, my P4 3.0 ghz Radeon 9600 128 mb loaded laptop can play MvC2 fine, but my Athalon XP 1.8 ghz Radeon 9200 128 desktop can't play MvC2 for shit, well with the old chankast that is, let's hope you're right with that one. =/

And they should really fix the sound problems that chankast still has. =/

[EWAShock]

Not only do they need to fix the sound issues, they need to impliment a maximum frame rate. I can't play MvC2 on my P4 3.2 ghz with any level of accuracy because even on normal it is about 2X Turbo 2.

That may not sound very fast, but trust me, it is. An Xbox doesn't have to run all these random programs and stuff in the backround like a PC, so it doesn't need a 3.0 Ghz processor. That's why the Xbox can run games like Halo 2 and Doom 3 and any other games that demand powerful consoles/PCs.

Anyway, the work has been really incredible. I couldn't believe it at first!

In fact, my greatest problem is the lack of frame limiter. I mean: optimising is important, yeah. But anyway, the emu is already quite fast (all things taken into account). Not to mention that all PCs will just get faster and faster with time.

But having a game which runs too fast is terrible since you can't have good control on the speed (even if you load the cpu with a parallel stupid program made to do X operations in Y cycles).

But, I do not want to be perceived as a plain lame-ass request maker. I'm just pointing a detail which is usually forgotten since most people just want an emu to be faster and faster nad faster...

P.S. Are you a move fan too? (judging from your login)

[mvsc2demon]

You might as well buy a Dreamcast for $15 and buy MvC2 (or burn it eh)
I know where to get isos to burn dc games but where have u seen dc's for $15 nowadays, i want to buy one but mostly all i've seen are running for 35 or 40 and up plus shipping. So where can i get it for at least 20. I know gamestop and eb were selling them for 15 but they ran out. And as they are getting more hard to find in the streets, prices are going up online.

For MVC2, Can anybody help me configure my psx control with darkman input control plugin, im using the radioshack psx converter. With the chankast ElSemi input i can use both my dpad and left analog stick to move, somehow in configuration of the input, in says POV for every direction in the dpad like up, down, etc. With cable i can use the dpad to hk and analog to connect or do the ahvb real fast. However with the El SEmi input i can only use the ps2 control like if it was a dreamcast control, only L1 and L2. I got Darkman's Input because i can make L1 and L2 to be assists, R1 to be lp+hp, and R2 lk+hk just like the ps2 mvc2 version. However i cant manage to get the configuration right like with the El Semi input so that POV thing comes out, i can only use the dpad and analog one at a time with Darkmans. If i want to use the analog i have to press the analog ON button, if i press it i cant use the dpad, WTF. Can anybody help out or recommend a good input. Mvc2 runs smooth, now all i want it to be able to play it good.

anyone tried capcom vs snk 2 fan disk(has replays of jpn players, artwork, music from past games capcom has released) on chankast? i finally got around to it.. it works, its sweet. its like watching match vids on ur chankast lol.

also, the new game that came out in japan for dreamcast works on chankast.. it's called Chaos Field. screenshots:

since the chankast devs have no current plans of implementing online play and will "probably" quit the project when the source code is released soon a friend of mine will probably try to implement online play for it and ill be beta testing it.. and no, kaillera wont work because all kaillera does is send keystrokes over the network and with the dreamcast each players memory needs to be in sync.

anyway, mvc2 online could be close.

HELP, MY COMP SPECS:

COMPAQ PRESARIO
AMD ATHLON XP 3200+ (2.2GHZ)
512MB DDR SDRAM
Video: Internal 64MB Shared

okay when i run Chankast (v.25) i can get to the VMU screen for MvC2 and runs @17fps, but once it continues, it goes black, crashes @ 11fps, then i have to restart my computer becuase the crash fucks up the video.

How can i run this on my computer to be stable?

[metrock1]

I think chankast just runs like shit on AMD. I have an athlon xp 3200 and it runs like shit for me......

[W3s]

make sure you turn on the capcom hack

Get a better video card. My pc is originally a Compaq Presario as well, but I've been upgrading that bitch since I got (over a year ago now) Everything has been upgraded except for the mobo.

i don't think the boards dying is a hindrance. seeing as the roms have already been dumped, there's no need to use the actual boards. it's just breaking the encryption on those roms that's the problem.

Speaking of Emulation, have they gotten to Model 2 , or Model 3 emulation yet?

It's been a while since I payed attention to emulation...

Theres only 1 game on the CPS3 board that hasn't been ported to home consoles and thats Warzard...Model 2 and 3 emulation holy shit man, the great games are countless...

[Magnifico]

dreamcast = your cps3/naomi emulator

[T-Kimura]

thing is, warzard didn't even come out on DC either i dont think.. so yeah, actual cps3 emulation would be the only hope

has anyone tried the game tech romancer? it runs pretty good on chankast aside from sound problems and it seems like a pretty cool game, its done by capcom and has chars like jin in it.. its a fighting game with mechs all in 3d, never tried it before until now


heres a screen

[D.HYO]

I seriously hope this emulator keeps progressing more and more. I believe that the people working hard on it will succeed on making it 100% complete in the near future.

[T-Kimura]

heres another

[danomyte]

so DC emu should be ready be ready by.....this summer?

[Dem-Dem]

Hi everyone I entered this forum cause it had Dreamcast in the title I wanted to know if any of you were able to send dreamcast games in CD form for the sega system.

[Magnifico]

wtf, i have that game but never knew jin was in it

[Gen2000]

Jin/Blodia II Custom was one of the last character/mecha you unlocked in that game. He played kind of similar to G.Kasier but better.

you absolutely have crappy video card. my mom's comp that is a 1.6ghz p4 with radeon 9800 pro probably runs better than your comp. in fact i know it does. and i believe compaq has lower cache.

Any updates on this emulator? Online play perhaps?

Chankast

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

About our missing in action. Chankast has been a very stressful project, it needed a lot of time to get it working. We did an incredible work to get the first release working in only 3 months, it was a full time work. After the 0.25 release I didn't feel like doing chankast again so I took a long break, but
we have been improving a lot of things in that time. The emu is faster and need less memory to work, an early xbox version is working, it's great to see shenmue 1 on xbox , the sound is better, ...

About the future, we are thinking about releasing the source code and a binary with the latest changes.

I really hope they release the next version soon. It would be so awesome if they had online play. IMO they are trying to make as stable a version with online play as they can then leave it up to the community to improve/add to it. Just my opinion.

[TGC]

Whatever they do, don't make it like shitty ass kailera. I don't care if it's online...I'd rather play offline two player with the same person than play a bunch of idiots, and have a shitty connection, and people having a dash button and ish.

I believe that is the case as well.

[D.HYO]

What's up with Chankast now? Is the final version gonna be done in the summer, and will it be online? :confused:

[Festival6667]

It's less than likely. The chanka team has basically stopped working on it. Afaik, they plan to release the source in its actual state so that people can work on it if they want (the source for both pc an xbox). As for the online option, I think they had been working at least a little on it, but don't hope for a public release user-friendly-with-lots-of-eye-candy thing.

My only real concern is still the lack of a frame limiter. Without fps regulation lots of games become unplayable anyway (starting with fighting games)

[D.HYO]

Bah, I guess we'll never get what we've been hoping for. :sad:

[Festival6667]

I wouldn't say so, I'd say the masses most probably won't ever have a complete DC emu ready-to-launch-pirate-dumps.

I'm not aiming anyone, but if one looks at emulation without passion, he sees there are actually few who work for the scene and many many who complain and BS and launch stupid rumors just because they want to use pirate dumps without effort. What I mean is : if ou have the will, Chankast is already close to completion. There's the pb of frame regulation, but it can be partly overcome with other programs (only partly, but that's a good beginning). About the network option, well it would be sweet, but barely has anything to do with the core of the emulator. And most of all, I shit on all the scrubs who complain about the emu being too slow or whatever because they didn't sweat on it and since they didn't sweat for it, they could at least respect this valuable work and just buy some better hardware (which is getting cheaper with the passing of time, as always)

Of course, I don't mean to say you're one of those BSing scrubs, I just wanted to remind people of that reality : if you want something, you can always work so it'll be better/closer to your wishes. This being said... yes it would have been great to have a ready-to-use DC emu with network support...

[T-Kimura]

chankast is like almost done, all thats left to do is get a frame limiter on it and get the emu faster for slower computers and improve some compatibility, but it already supports tons of games.. when they put out the source code someone will most likely work on online play.

[AkumaTX]

anyone else sound cuts in and out while playing mvc2

[skitz]

i dont think online play will be that smart with a game like marvel,fun yea,but hardcore play,i dont know.

it would be nice to play some of my homies in the midwest and westcoast,because i cant never make it to tournaments.ha
