--------------

PS: Were working now on the Chankast Utilities v0.2 Release with the Official Chankast Alpha v0.2 as you read this.

Well, after the recent criticism we have been getting from suspected dangerous possibilites that Speed Pig can hurt your computer, we will add a Warning when you try to load Speed Pig. This will notify the user that Speed Pig will modify your system settings to further speed your computer and for you to use it at your own risk. The screen will tell you to "Click Continue or Cancel to Run Speed Pig" on the bottom as well. We will continue to update Chankast Utilities with the Official Chankast Emulator.

As for Chankast Utilities v0.2, here is some of the full list of changes and addons to expect..

+ Run From CD (Run any DreamCast game without the need of running the Bios first!)

+ Run From Bios Only (Select to Run just the Bios!)

+ Updated Game Buster (It will be updated with more than 320 games added with cheats!)

.... And More!!

Chankast Utilities v0.2 will release right after the Official Chanka v0.2. So you can easily be able to use the new Official Chankast with Chankast Utilities.
