After so many years programmers have been on hold to make their own dreamcast emulator because they all waited on Icarus, finally someone has stepped up and made their own dreamcast emulator! This emulator is now called Chankast (before it was just Chanka). You will need the Sega Dreamcast Bios (link can be found below) and of course the emulator. There are 3 different kinds of releases. I suggest the first release for beginners. Have Fun & Reply to this thread for any comments or questions because this is the offical thread.

Nintendo 8080 hardware update [stefan Jokisch]

The driver has now been split into three parts. A few features that have been missing

in Helifire since my last update are back, i.e. the flickering colors when you're shot

and the volume decay effect (this affects the melody at the start of a game and a few

tunes that can be heard during the bonus scenes every twelve attack waves). The

starfield should now scroll at the correct speed, it's only 75% of what it used to be.

Finally, I have decided to use the color prom from Space Fever in Space Launcher, I

think it's correct.

Debugger: With this patch you can output traces to the console ( or grep etc ) by
