Chankast is pretty much it as far as DC emulation goes. There are a couple of other emulators, but neither or them are as fast as Chankast.

Also, you asked about PSX iso sites in another thread, did you not? Not that asking again is against the rules or anything, but y'know...it's a bit annoying. I mean...you already created a thread and all. Just be patient and wait for it to bear fruit.

I'm pretty sure Sprung posted the Chankast bios in the YSI Links Only thread just a day or so ago. It should still be active, so search through the last few pages of that thread and find it.

Well, I get "Service unavailable" off my link, so either YouSendIt is down for maintenance, or there is a problem with the S40 server. Try again later, I suppose

If you have a DC, I wouldn't bother with the Emulator. Chankast is great, but it can't compete with a real Dreamcast.

but is there a easy way to get chankast to work that dc is buried in a mountain of crap and if i can get it to work on my comp it would be easier than hoping the that dusty old thing still works oh ya and thanks again sprung your awsome

Well, Chankcast works exceptionally well for an emulator as young as it is. That said, you'll have a hard time finding games that run well enough to play [unless you have a top of the line computer, you're looking at maybe 20% of the games]. For example, I have a Pentium 4 1.6GHz, with 896MB RAM and a Radeon 9600XT 256MB vid card. I can't run too many games that are playable. Don't get me wrong, I like Chankast, but I can use the same computer to burn an ISO for the Dreamcast in 10-15 minutes, and it works with 100% of the games.
