Chankast Wrapper 2.5 (Daemon/Alcohol Edition) released!..:.

 

Talk about something that's been on the backburner for WAAAY too long. This version is fully compatable with the latest version of Chankast. Also it supports virtual drive mounting via daemon tools or alcohol 120%. On top of that you can now make cfg files for each game to ave individual settings similar to how zinc does it. How things are done has changed slightly, so be sure to check the readme.txt before using and running setup before even attempting to launch with the wrapper.
