I have DC - ChankastAlpha025(with good BIOS) on my FTP. It has a tested working BIOS included

Only a 4.81MB download.

All I can tell you is what they already have said...run Chankast with no game loaded, and set up your memory cards using the icon of a floating VMU

I really need to use Chankast more, just so I can answer some questions about it

[Malikman]

heh i'll figure it out...

[Malikman]

.. loll SoA crashed at the starting launching game thing.. of course it was half the screen i'll have to work on it

I think you need to patch the ISO first with a program called SOAPatcher to remove the Echelon intro that crashes Chankast. Unfortunately that little patcher proggy is written in a way that it'll make about 4 copies of the CD image, so you need 2,4GB free space to successfully convert the ISO.

I found this yesterday. I cannot verify the accuracy of this process, but it sounds reasonable:

Removing the Echelon intro
Credits to jc of dcwarez.

Some people may wish to remove the Echelon intro for one reason or another, a major one being that the intro sometimes screws up the sound/music initialization in their rip of Unreal Tournament (making it emit a nasty screeching sound until a game is started).
(Following example applies to DOA2LE. You can use a similar method for the other games, but the file size will be different.)

Extract the 1ST_READ.BIN file from the CDI or your CD.
Fire up your hex-editor (I like HEdit or Hex Workshop) and open 1ST_READ.BIN, go to offset 0xF0000 and copy the Hex all the way to 983040 (the end).
Make a new file 1929928 bytes large, and paste the contents of the clipboard into it.
Save the file, and place it into a directory (ie, C:\SELFBOOTDOA2LE), and extract the data from the CD or the CDI file into that directory as well. Now just follow ECHELON's self-boot tutorial and re-image the CD.

Hmm. Sprung...Does your version of SOA have thie intro removed
or does it still there on the cd image??

[Malikman]

I understand what it's telling me to do but does that fix it... or what do i do after b/c it says follow echelon's self-boot tutorial after that or something......................

I wanbt my game to work

i'll look for a SOApatcher like a few posts up but i don't thing i have 2.x gigs... lol yup i onl have .... wait no i cleared gtaa off here i have 8.x gigs lol


EDIT: I'm so confused! lol


I will just try to find the SOAPatcher

[Malikman]

Could someone send me the SOAPatcher 3.01 ... i found it on this site but i click the link that sprung had and..................... it always downloads were there's an unexpected end of file.
