help! chankast disc mounting troubles!

[endoplasmic reticulum]

I just got chankast and stayed up untill 4am setting it up and stuff. it works fine and it works without the game. when i mount the disc on f: and play it with aspi cd rom interface,

it shows this error message then closes itself:

 

can't read TOC from f: drive

 

when i use xxx cd interface, it thinks its a music cd.

 

the gami i am trying to play is called "shenmue" i am running cd 1 of 3 cds. its a cdi file.

 

I am running windows xp sp3 home edition on a laptop.

 

by the way i am using chankast alpha 2.5

 

heres a list of the files + folders i have in the folder along with chankast:

 

-chankast_input

chankast_input.cpp

chankast_input.vcproj

diutil.h

pads.cpp

pads.h

stdafx.cpp

stdafx.h

chankast.cfg

chankast.input

chankast_alpha_25.exe

chankast_cdrom.dll

chankast_cdrom_aspi.dll

chankast_input.dll

chankast_input_semi.dll

chankast_manual.chm

dc_bios.bin

dc_flash

maple.cfg

vms.bin

vmsbrowser.exe

 

 

i hope that all goes well in the end because i tried naomi dc emulator and it sucks monkey $HIT. i cant set up my philips pc controller with it. what a f*king piece of $hit!

The default CD-ROM plugin works via ASPI, and Windows 2000/XP do not support ASPI out of the box. Only Windows 95/98 had proper ASPI support.

Use the xxx plugin which is tailored for Windows 2000/XP.

 

or you can take your chances and install an ASPI driver for Windows 2000/XP.

 

Finally, if I may say so, you shouldn't be using Chankast in the first place. All the other emulators have long since gone past it. Use nullDC or Demul, for example.
