Unable to start MVC2 on chankast

[unauthorized]

I'm trying to get Marvel vs Capcom 2 to start on chankast, both from mounted and burned cdi image, but when I start the emulation it prompts me for the date twice after showing the Dreamcast logo and then it brings me to the BIOS screen. If I select play from then the screen goes black and then the emulation resets to the logo and again asks me for the date twice. And yes I selected the proper drive from the options menu. And if I insert the disk after the emulation begins it simply displays "Please wait while disc is being checked and then it simply resumes as if nothing has happend. The audio player shows two tracks (probably boot and data) which as expected won't play. There are more than 700 bin files on the CD named like : PL20_FAC.BIN, STG0DTEX.BIN,S_PL17B.BIN,S_PL2FD.BIN. There are also 6 directories : DPETC, DPFONT, DPMODEL,DPSS, DPTEX, DPWWW. That's a Dreamcast image right?

I already checked and I'm quite sure this game runs on the emulator fine. I searched the board and google but found no similar problems with other users. I'm using the lastest(0.25a) version of the emulator.

I would very much appreciate if someone would help me on this one. Thanks in advance.

Which version of daemon tools are you using? Have you been able to get any other games working?

I believe the recommended version of daemon tools is 3.29.

Your Dc_flash.bin file is corrupt. You need to find a "fixed" replacement. Just deleting the file won't solve the problem because Chankast creates the file again, and does it wrong (you'll know that he file is corrupt if the BIOS prompts you to input date/time twice). I'll also make a stab in the dark and say that the image you have isn't selfboot.

 

If it isn't selfboot, you either need to hack the image to make it selfboot or use a bootdisc (like Utopia).

Thank you for the info Agozer. after replacing some files everything appears to work fine. As for the image, I already read about the self boot stuff and it is self boot. Once again many thanks for your input.

floopy it dosn't matter which version of D-Tools I use since I tried burning it to CD as I stated above. It's good that you took your time to help through.
