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.
