The archives dc_flash.bin and dc_bios.bin are required.

We now have a batch file to selfboot your non selfboot programs, mainly done to help run homebrew software, (though incompatibiltys are still there in most case's). It was developed and tested by Pedro. You can get it here.

VMS Browser

VMSBrowser is a tool that will open Chankast VMS.BIN files that store the backup data from an emulated Dreamcast VMU. With this tool you can see the files stored inside the memory.

    Information

    Chankast is an advanced SEGA DREAMCAST emulator for x86 platforms.


    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.

    In the current release, it now supports full screen, has plugin support for cd, and control, has more bug fix's, and now supports win2k.

    We haven't done this emulator to promote piracy, it's a tribute to the great DC.


    The emulator is far from perfect, expect new releases with more speed, better graphics, better sound, and more compatibility :)

    Enjoy the emu. Now you have to believe :) You can use Paypal to make a donation (and motivate us to release new versions:)
