Cominus Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 Why does everybody want to play it on thier pc? Thats pretty damn lazy and pirating, unless you're from some 3rd world country and can't a fford a dc then I could understand but for all you amercian flockers, get a job! $30 freaking bucks.
Wizard Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 Because dreamcast games are hard to find and are very expensive at times, more then the dreamcast it self. I've seen Street Fighter 3: Third Strike for $90 USD.
Cominus Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 Because dreamcast games are hard to find and are very expensive at times, more then the dreamcast it self. I've seen Street Fighter 3: Third Strike for $90 USD.Are you serious? Do you know what kind of specs your pc has to have in order to run chankast? I have a mint copy of 3rd strike which i bought for $40 with shipping, which im thinking of selling, not sure yet. It sells for about 40-50 on ebay, it rarely goes higher than 50, and if you got a good enogh computer to run chankast you most likely have a burner which you can burn games and a dc like 30, and you can probably find it cheaper on ebay with games.
Wizard Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 You can load all cd images with Damon tools, all you have to do is choose "Show All Files" and your set.
JuMeSyn Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) I just got a question guys, I have recently downloaded "Evolution_The_World_of_Sacred_Device_DC-KALISTO.rar" Now here comes the problem, this is the 3rd game I download that comes with several files, all ending in " *.001; *.002; *.003; *.004 and so on", one ending in *.sfv and one *.nfo. So what do I actually need to make out of these files a NRG, BIN or CDI?Any kind of Burn to CD or something?? Please help! Edited June 10, 2004 by JuMeSyn
Gryph Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 You open the first file (*.001) in WinRAR and extract it. Then I just use Alcohol 120% because that burns every image:.nrg,.cdi,.bin,.iso, etc.
JuMeSyn Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Damn, I was so stupid! I didn´t even tried with WinRAR since it didn´t appear the icon when you know what kind of files can be opened... Thanks man!
lukeskyd Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Please help me..

Luke
Gryph Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Chankast doesn't work with the boot disc fully yet. My suggestion is to download a self-boot version. But you can wait till Sultan or one of the guys that know how to make a self-boot out of a non self-boot, they'll be able to walk through it. There was actually a topic on that not too long ago in this section so look around and you could find something.

AndymaN Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 I have a question. I'm downloading something I got off suprnova. It's a 3 game download or something, which has Marvel Vs Capcom2, Capcom vs Snk2, and Street Fighter 3. I was just wondering how i'm supposed to convert it to play on my dreamcast. There are about 25.rar files in the main folder. How am I supposed to know what file to extract and which game is which? Is it always the 1st.rar file or what? And would I need a boot disk to play these burned games? I had Marvel Vs Capcom2, but I lost it and now i'm trying to get it back any way I can.
Gryph Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 You have to extract the first RAR file in WinRAR. And I'm pretty sure that's self boot so you won't need a boot disc.
AndymaN Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 yes but since its three games. will they all be seperate or something?

I had Marvel Vs Capcom2, but I lost it and now i'm trying to get it back any way I can.Basically, what you download is just a package, nothing different when you look at it as a simple rar. Gryph has given that solution, just have winrar open and have the first file extracted, it will automatically unzip all 3 games, they should appear as.cdi (often), or.nrg and could appear as bin files. Once u got those, you know whats yer next step (since the thread demonstrate the concept of it). and no, you don't need a bootdisk or any other utilities to get it working, if you read portion of burning introducting, as long as your DC met that requirement, you are able to play them, but of course, the three games you mentioned, I'm confident to know they are all self bootable (there are certain that aren't, but its a rare thought if you ask me), oh and not to mentioned I own all 3 you got hope that helps.
