== 6/21/07: Hello Googlers ... looking for the new CPS-3 emulator? Find it here! ==
########################################################

well, after we saw a working DC emulator do u thing we'll see soon some CPS-3 emulation???
i hope so

BTW, its good 2 be back

... CPS-3 is nothing like Dreamcast. However Atomiswave and NAOMI are like the Dreamcast and have the ability to play CPS-3 games.

But I would like to see a CPS-3 emulator too.

Indeed. CPS3 and Dreamcast are nothing alike.

Since Chankast is a dreamcast emulator, we could see Naomi and Atomiswave sooner then expected.

screw naomi i want an atomiswave emu by the time kof2004 drops

From what i've heard, the cps-3 is more like the Saturn than the dreamcast (Saturn uses SH2 [Supposedly like the CPS-3], while the dreamcast uses a SH4)

wait isn't cvs2 and mvc2 run on naomi??.. I WANT NAOMI..screw atomiswave.naomi first and than a.w. hehe

No no no! Who cares about Naomi? Screw em! I want Atomiswave, dammit!

Well yeah but those games are also for Dreamcast. So Chankast already has that covered. And for an alpha those games play pretty damn well. Atomiswave is more important because that is what all the new SNKP games (KOF, Metal Slug, Sam Sho, etc.) will use.

Bring on the Atomiswave!

I wonder how Metal Slug 6 will look...and I can't even run Chankast.

Umm... since SF3 and the rest of those CPS-3 games all have DC ports, is it safe to say that the only reason to really emulate CPS-3 atm is Warzard? In which case I don't think anybody will worry about it so much now that Chankast is out.

Yeah, but a CPS-3 emulator will have a better 2D support.
as for WarZard, I want to see this damn thing in action!!!

but still.there are people who doesn't have the isos for the mvc2 and cvs2. u know?.. so naomi first !! lol

the isos are all available on dc++ and many on BT sites... emulating NAOMI over ATOMISWAVE is a ridiculous idea... NOAOMI's library of games aint gonna go up wheras ATOMISWAVE has some BIG titles heading its way!! and theyre not just SNK PLAYMORE stuff Sammy vs. Capcom and no doubt Capcom Fighting Jam will appear on this...

Well, arcade ports are *usually* better than their console counterparts, but in this case, it doesn't make much difference since SF3 is quite perfect on the Dreamcast.

I can see Capcom might not go with Atomiswave, they might go with Naomi since they've used it before and know how to use it as oppose to Atomiswave.

nah naomi. first.. some people dont have the luxury of having fast internet connection..

What does that have to do with anything? The games aren't going to be any smaller, they're CD images. And the whole emulation scene isn't going to revolve around you not having high speed internet. They will do what the feel is the best, if it's NAOMI then cool, if it's Atomiswave then ultra cool, if it's CPS-3 then WTF it's not worth it for one game!

But I have a feeling that NAOMI and Atomiswave emulators won't be that different because they are exactly alike except NAOMI has twice the video memory.

hahah chill out.geez i be happy if naomi came out first but if atomiswave comes out earlier.that'll be fine. too.

I have one and only one thing to say in this thread:-

BE THANKFUL FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU GET...ITS NOT COSTING YOU ANYTHING...IF WE GET A CPS3, NAOMI OR ATOMISWAVE EMU FIRST THEN DON'T biatch...IF YOU WANNA biatch WHY DON'T YOU MAKE THE DAMN EMULATOR YOURSELVES....NOW STFU....

Peace....

The return of ForceX!!! Very well said there, pal.

LOL FreahyK...I just read this post and it is full of $hit....

Since I'm currently doing a Bachelor of Info Tech, I can understand the amount of time it takes to get a emulator/software anywhere near playable/usable....and here are people who get to play their fav games for FREE but they are bitching about what emulator they want first??? Who cares if we get a CPS3 emu first....I woundn't mind at all....

Indeed, I would like to see CPS3 first, but since it's encryption chip is both poorly made and super hard, I doubt we'll even see it...for a while.
And what about Hyper Neo 64!? I still want to try Samurai Shodown 64 damnit.

Seems like MAMEdev team is working on it. They added preliminary work on the Hyper Neogeo 64 in version 0.80u1. I don't know how far they have gone since then.

Not really unless you've got an HD tv hooked up with an s-cable of a vga box, cuz the arcade version is a little clearer and not so pixeled. I play this game at home and at the arcade all the time.

Duuuuude....ForceX is back. What posessed you to come back here?

Hey Agozer..hows it going mate....

I only left because of all the $hit I had to do...exams, assignments, work etc...

I assume it's all good now? Anyways, welcome back.

Hear Hear. I agree. We should all be grateful for whatever we get, if we get anything at all...

Well, sort of..I have my end of semester exams coming up soon....

You might not see me posting much but I will occasionally check everything out

Exactly. I remember paying $100AU for Genesis games back in the day... $120 for MK2. Now, with them around about 1MB each to dl it makes you grateful that you can get things that used to cost so much for free...

AMEN To That Brother....

ForceX, what were those 404s? Oh and....

AHHHHH!!!


Anyways, if you people want CPS3, go get your self a PCB, and try to dump it without the encryption chip frying.

Hahahaha...That'll show 'em.

Somebody got dissed.

Reckon... but seriously is CPS-3 the only one that's so hard to dump, with such sensitive encryption chips etc etc?

Yeah. Anyone who has ever dumped a CPS3 pcb has ended up somehow frying the encryption chip.

Well IMO CPS3 isnt gonna come any F*$%ing time soon,cuz well Chankast is out,and theres painfully few cps3 games, as for Naomi....well that'd be pretty awesome,and id say a naomi emu will be out before a CPS3,and Atomiswave emulation would make me the happiest man alive KOF2004 BABY HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!(and Guilty Gear Isuka!!!).but I think Naomi will come out in the near future,Atomiswave.......iunno, one of the reasons SNKP stopped Neo Geo support was pirating issues and stuff,so maybe if the stars come together and the will of the gods comes into play, it will happen

The Chankast team wants Chankast to be a DC and NAOMI emulator. They have gotten the NAOMI bios to load upto a certain point but it quits there. Atleast we know they are working on it.

does the dreamcast emulator let you play sf3 3rd strike?

Dreamcast Forum, read the Chankast compatibilities thread.

I heard it's buggy, but somewhat playable. Take a look at the Chankast compatibility list.

Although Chankast definitely deserves kudos for emulating so many commercial games in early stages of development, running games on it is too much hustle:

• You have to mount the CD images into virtual drives, since Chankast doesn't run them directly.
  
• The ISO's have to be made self-bootable in order to work.
  
• Dreamcast versions of those CPS 3 games are over three times larger in file size than the originals.
  
• You need to do a lot of research in order to learn to set it up right.

To be honest, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike is the only thing that made me interested in Chankast, but after trying so hard to launch the game and failing miserably, I decided to give up.
We wouldn't have to go through all this torture once CPS 3 is emulated on MAME, see.

The sprites appear good in still shots. Nevertheless, from a gameplay video, I saw that the animation was far from smooth; the FPS rate was way to low, which negatively impacts the gaming experience. 3rd Strike, on the other hand is a completely different story.
Frankly, I'm convinced that this game could have easily been made for CPS 2. Graphicwise, it didn't look in any way superior to, say, Darkstalkers, or Street Fighter Alpha.

For the record, I had no trouble getting Street Fighter III: Third Strike to run in Chankast. Runs almost flawlessly too.

EDIT: Oh, and please don't bump topics that are almost a year old.

Mounting a self boot image on a virtual drive is a hassle? You just right click, mount image, search for it, and press Ok.
