new/latest DC emulator?

[Photon]

http://shoryuken.com/forums/thread62756.php
And direct news about "Chanka" at http://www.ngemu.com/

o.O If true. Apologies if this is old news to anyone.
ps If it does push through, someone here test it. I sure as hell can't, my four-year old fossil of a PC at the univ. has trouble startin' up the latest Kawaks, how much more this. XD

[misterogyny]

afaik, Chanka hasn't been posted about on HerV.

They say it'll run on WinXP (and WinServer2003 as well) only, but... "Chanka CD plugin works only with WinXP and for now authors can`t enable ASPI function... But in other case emulator can run ISO". There's a possibility that it will work on Windows 2000, but I dunno.

[Effeser]

The MvC2 sprite rips look good enough to rip from. I hope the same if true for the SFIIIs.

sheeit... people can rip MvC2 sprites from Xbox already. ;)
as for SF3, that'll eventually come.

[Yeah Loi!]

How do u get it to run CD's it always go back to the time selection screen for me. is there no way to save?

[misterogyny]

three versions of the emu are at ngemu.com:
the regular, the capcom hack (I assume this is what we'll be using for Capcom games), and the new gfx hack (which does wonders for the bios - not sure about any other games)

bios is here: http://jamesseph.phpwebhosting.com/dude/sanikstuff/dc_bios_and_flash.rar

and yes, chanka CAN run under Windows 2000 (http://www.ajworld.net/chanka_win2k.jpg). Keep in mine I'm using Alcohol 120% to emulate a drive, so I'm basically getting it to work via ISO. Didn't actually test any of my burns yet.

[Yeah Loi!]

nm, thanks for the link Aj, guess the one I had was wrong

[Cherrn]

It's really fucking aggravating that it only support joysticks that go up to 15 buttons. It just so happens that I use a 16 button N64 pad and button 16 = left >:|

You do this a lot now. From my perspective, it's just as gay. Just thought you'd be interested to know.

Besides, next time, you can just say, "Wait until Darkpriest sees this thread." and you get the same result, without all of the red tape. ;)

Momo has now christened this emulator...oh and playing via keyboard sucks. http://www.highervoltage.net/mb/images/icons/icon6.gif

[NeoChaosX]

Has anyone tried Skies of Arcadia on this thing? I would bother but I have the Gamecube version.

GOOD: Project Justice works.
BAD: DCX chose Momo to test it with. DIE YOU HORRIBLE MONSTER.

[misterogyny]

some notes I read here (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=DCPCEmu&action=display&num=1085834201):

"games need to be selfboot and support the VGA cable" - Wraggster
"Also, WinCE games do not work... so don't waste ur time trying to boot those" - Neo_Matrix_IV

and something I noticed myself:
if the game doesn't apparently work, the length of the CD in the music section will be 0:08.

[Zensouken]

I can't get this to work, so I'm just gonna layout the steps I'm doing...

1. Place DC game in drive.
2. Startup Chankast.
3. Press Init.
4. ERROR: can't read dc_bios.bin.

What the hell does that mean?

[misterogyny]

1. Place DC game in drive.
2. Startup Chankast.
3. Press Init.
4. ERROR: can't read dc_bios.bin.

What the hell does that mean?

1. are you using a GD-Rom, or a CD-R?
2. You set up the CD Drive in Options->ConfigureDrive, right?
3. If you don't have the bios, check a few posts up. If you do, make sure it's in the same directory as the emu.

Hey I tried to choose Akira but my keyboard refused to cooperate...it is fate. At least I let Gan kick the crap out of her before taking the snapshot.

Oh and so far only the Japanese version of Project Justice works on my pc...the Pal burn won't boot. No music in the background as wel...still though the game ran at a fairly nice clip for a 3D DC game.

[Zensouken]

OK, AJ, I was missing the BIOS, now question #2, I'm using a USB to PSX converter, and it is working, my buttons are just all over the place, anyone else using the same setup as me?

Okay, good. I tried my legit US copy of PJ, but that doesn't seem to work at all...gets treated like a music CD. Goddamnit.

Cherrn: You think you have it bad? I can't get my Xterminator Gamepad's d-pad to completely work in this thing, only one direction on it works.

[Zensouken]

I'm running CvS2 right now, and of course the keyboard works perfectly, but using a PS pad is ridiculous, no matter what it reads the X, O, Triangle and Square buttons as D-Pad directions, *sighs*.

[El Fuerte's #1 Fan]

HM... interesting... I'm still surprised on how well DC emulation looks (and finally! CvS2 Sprite rips! no more fucking PSOne crap stuff!).







But still, no good Saturn emu

[misterogyny]

(and finally! CvS2 Sprite rips! no more fucking PSOne crap stuff!).


people with Xboxes have been able to get CvS2 and MvC2 sprite rips for a while now.

Okay, good. I tried my legit US copy of PJ, but that doesn't seem to work at all...gets treated like a music CD. Goddamnit.

I think they took GD-ROM support out of this version. I don't know if it's coming back or not, but for right now, you can't use legit copies of games. Only CD-R's, and loading ISO's via a stealth drive (Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120%, etc.)

[El Fuerte's #1 Fan]

people with Xboxes have been able to get CvS2 and MvC2 sprite rips for a while now.

Really? how? I got an XBox and I didn't know that (but... it's totally unmodified, so if it has something to do with "you must mod your black box", then... meh...).

[misterogyny]

yeah, it requires a modchip.

[Zensouken]

Games I have tested:

WORKS:

CvS2 (Import, CD-R)
CvS Pro (Import, CD-R)
Vampire Chronicles (Import, CD-R)

DOESN'T WORK:

Street Fighter III: Third Strike (Import, CD-R, Boot Disc)
Street Fighter Alpha 3 (US, Official, GD-ROM)
Project Justice (US, Official, GD-ROM)
Virtual On: Ontario Tangram (Import, CD-R, Boot Disc)
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Import, Official, GD-ROM)
Marvel vs Capcom (US, Official, GD-ROM)
Quake III Arena (US, Official, GD-ROM)
KOF Dreammatch 1999 (US, Official, GD-ROM)

Okay, in the general scope of things, you need a DC game that is burned, is self-bootable, and is a CD-R. Anything else gets chucked out, is this the same for all of you?

[Cherrn]

Tried Vampire Chronicles - A bit slow, but playable with graphic errors.
CvS Pro - Worked fine during combat. Again, slow. Problems with shadows on the Final Fight stage.

I tried a bunch of other games, but not many would actually run (suspect it has something to do with self-booting). Eh, it needs a lot more work, but I'm glad to see they're making progress.

[Effeser]

So, anybody tried to rip a sprite from 3s yet? The iso (+selfboot) seems pretty rare, nobody I asked had it, and I've been asking and looking around for three hours straight.

[blackadde]

Some guys @ SRK's IMM are doing rips from 3s now, I would be too but my 3S cd is at my other house :|

[JRG]

What about Giant Gram 2000?

[I Drive A Gold Lexus]

Wouldn't work for me.

[Bitoku Kishi]

There's always the PC version (http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=3259)...
Which I'm still looking for people to play against, hint hint.

[Blitzkrieg]

It seems that there are multiple versions of VO for PC. The one at The Underdogs seems kind of goofy. First off, the game executable has been pre-cracked by the rippers, removing the CD check. However, the processor check isn't removed (it thinks a P4 isn't MMX-capable... I guess MMX2 isn't reported the same way). I got a modified exe (http://delta.skali.net/~vogz/Sections/Downloads.htm) which took care of the processor check, but the cd check was back. Then, I got a nocd crack, but it reported both the original and modified exe as being "invalid versions".

So basically, what I'm saying is... Bitoku needs to provide a rip. ;D

<laugh> Well I could, but it would be too big for me to upload anywhere. And don't mention the hub, because it transfers stuff tremendously slow for me and I hate using it as a result. Basically though, all I think you need on the CD is the music tracks (it uses CD music). If you can find that, then I could even probably get you whatever else is on the CD for data. I remember I just copied the files individually once, and it worked just fine. In other words, although it does check for the CD, all it seems to be doing is checking for the files themselves, and the CD itself obviously has no copy protection whatsoever as a result.

Basically, it's just got the game data, which is about 80 megs or so, and you should already have that. I can check and give you info on how to lay it out in terms of directories/folders on the CD. But you also need the music tracks, which fill the rest of the CD. Theoretically I guess you could stick anything in there though, or possibly even nothing at all, since I really don't think it will be checking the tracks themselves. All it seems concerned with is the (non-music) data that's on the CD.

Capcom vs SNK 2 - Works 100%

What machine are you running? I've got a 2.6 GHz Pentium 4 with 768 MB of RAM and a Mobility Radeon 7500, and I can't manage to get the game running faster than 30fps, along with graphic errors on the sprites. It's annoying.

[Yeah Loi!]

He may mean no errors in game, I think the 30 fps is due to ur vid card.

Honestly, I have no idea, that's my sister's comp it's running on because mine is utter garbage. I'm buying a laptop whithin the month so I'll be using an nVidia.

[Racewing]

No, but I bought mine to play. I have no interest in a dead fighitng engine, I have VGA and S-Video for the thing, and as soon as I get my Makoto dizzy animation, my interest in this emulator will have died completely. I have nothing against the emulator, but why people other than the sprite-kiddies are going ape over it, I can't figure out. For what the computer requirements, are, you could own 5 DCs and libraries to go with them. (I mean, I don't even use epsxe exept to circumvent load times. Sometimes.)

...plus I can't run it anyway. 800mhz over heah.

Yeah. YEAH, that's right! Owned :(

[Zensouken]

Time to drop the dumbass question ofthe day, exactly how do I rip the sprites cleanly. Are you just doing a screen capture and then clearing out everything else by hand or is there a way to disable layers?

[Effeser]

Woah there Jigsaw, that animated Dudley gif rocks.

How do you rip and clean the sprites? Here is my method:
1. set window size to 384x224
2. find a good background (Ibuki and Ryu work best for me)
3. screencapture & clean the images
4. set the resolution to 640x480, make another screenshot, save the sprite's palette and apply it on all other sprites, this removes about 400 colors

[I Drive A Gold Lexus]

I love how Race pulls out ME_AGINST_THE_LEMMINGS.TXT on a project that's still in an Alpha state.

[Racewing]

I'm there best there is at what I do.

[SiegfriedFM]

To get rid of the sprite error, turn off Anisotropic Filtering in your graphic card settings.

[Metaljedd]

I hope they put Kalleira on this thing some day. :) That'd rock.

[Jigsaw]

You can change the size of the window?
*smacks forehead*

how do you get the exact size though?

Well that should save me alot of work then.
Anyway, yeah, I've basically just taken a bunch of screenshots and manually fucked around with the sprites to give them their correct aspect ratio and such. Getting rid of the background is no biggie though. Just use the magic wand repeatedly until you got all colours of the sprite selected, inverse selection and delete.

EDIT: OK, changing window size seems to create wierd anti-aliasing. So that's not much help.

[NeoChaosX]

ATI and yes I have the lines though I've barely played the game on this emu to test it. It seems only certain sprites seem to be affected for me (either the player 1 characters or Yuri, Sakura, and King respectively)

LMAO. But he wasn't the only one, either. :D

I don't know, this is tough for us PROUD DC OWNERS to sit quietly and just take. On the bright side, at least I haven't made a "you guys are going to kill the Dreamcast" "joke". Yet.

I do hope it will be able to play legit games, though. I only have three pirate DC games, and they're all perfectly-emulated-elsewhere CPS2/Neo-Geo ports.

[Zensouken]

Okay, I'm stumped on how to rip Rock's "Raging Storm" and well any animation that has alpha sprite effects all over it, HELP!!!!

[Banned VX]

LOL! Start cleaning, it's going to take awhile. :D

[Jigsaw]

I just realised something - change the size of the screenshot to 384x224 and the sprites will come out perfect with no need for editing. God, how come I didn't think of that before? >.<

Looks like you found a way to clean the feet from the overlapping shadow.
I tried to fix them with histogram and saturation adjustments but it didn't work. So I just made another set of screenshots using the new gfx chankast. The shadows don't overlap the feet there... but everything else looks horrible.

Well... can you rip sprites (http://jigsaw.johannesaxner.com/cvs2chunhk.gif) with yours? :trannie

Actually he could, I've got a method for sprite ripping from consoles that works very well, the only problem is it takes time and I never bothered to finish the project, I ripped an iori sprite from cvs2 as a test and then got too bored of the idea. If I still had my DC and a copy of 3s I could have had 3s sprite rips a while ago. :)

Oh, and I'm definitely too lazy to post somewhere whenever I upload new sprites. If you're interested, just click the link in my sig... Any new stuff will be there.

Has anyone with the SSE problem found a way to work the emulator around it?

A bit of research later, it looks like anyone with a Duron under 1Ghz is screwed. If you have 1Ghz or above, chances are you have a "Morgan" Duron processor, with SSE support available but not enabled without the right BIOS.

You can circumvent this using WCPUID (http://www.myplc.com/sony/sse_enabling_and_wcpuid.htm), a little program that will enable SSE. Then, theoretically, Chankast should work.

I'm on an 845 Duron, so no fun for me.

EDIT: Some people get a message screen saying "Your CPU is not SSE enabled", while others get one like the screen above - not quite why you'd get one or the other though.

[Hama]

I got the same exact problem :sweat

I get the same damn thing.

[misterogyny]

Comming soon?
Street Fighter III: 3rd strike winquote generator

you give me the rips (bg, grade, characters, font), and I'll do the rest. After the Garou MOTW and [secret project 2] gens are done (half done for secret project, because there's no way I'm making 1,600+ images right now).

[Jigsaw]

At how many fps should one animate at? and what program?
I use Adobe ImageReady. I basically wing it with the framerate/animation speeds.


Getting rid of shadows: Most characters use the same colours for their feet as other parts of the body, so you can usually get the correct colours from other parts of the sprite. Ryu for instance, is easy, as you can grab the colours from his arms or wherever without trouble. Some characters also has feet/shoes big enough, or placed in such a way, that you can find the colours you need from the shoes themselves, outside of the shadow.
The only character with which I had trouble using this method was Remy, so for him I just toyed with the brightness/contrast for the area covered by the shadow.

[Kagami]

So, is anyone hosting the working SFIII:3S ISO in the hub?

[Jigsaw]

Yep, I am. I'm passive though.

[El Fuerte's #1 Fan]

Could someone, in God's name, rip some Kyosuke's CvS2 sprites, please?!

[Vic Viper]

One question on the emulator: does it let you remove backgrounds or sprites?

But since it probably needs a DC disk, it probably won't.

Edit: Somehow, Chankast v0.1 from the Chankast site doesn't work properly. Anyone have a link of a working one?

It says, "This application has failed to start because d3d9.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Now where is the d3d9.dll file?

[blackadde]

One question on the emulator: does it let you remove backgrounds or sprites?

No, there's no layer options.

[NeoChaosX]

That means you need to install the latest version of DirectX (www.microsoft.com/directx) then.

[Andy]

An emulator for one of the finest game machines of all time is released meaning some great exclusive classics can now be played on your PC - and we just use it to rip Street Fighter 3 sprites to use as avatars (and whatever other pointless reason we use them for).

Oh well, while you're at it, make me a Poison sprite. Thanks.

[Jigsaw]

Well actually, that's pretty much the only thing it's good for at this point. You'd need a monster computer (at the least) to run most of the compatible games at a remotely decent speed, and even then there are quite a few graphical errors and whatnot.
Once the emulator and my computer allow for it though, you can be sure I'll be playing a lot more Third Strike than I am now. :)

[Vic Viper]

That means you need to install the latest version of DirectX (www.microsoft.com/directx) then.

Thanks.

And now I can finally play "Third Strike" with the correct setting.

But I'm still getting it for XBox.

Yeah, ripping sprites will be a pain with this one. Just like MAME.

Edit: I'm having a can't read dc_bios.bin message. After that, the emulator closes for some dumb reason. Also, do the directional buttons on the pad work?

[Izanami]

I got the same exact problem :sweat

I get this screen too.

And no matter how many times this gets mentioned, it gets ignored. Probably because people are too busy playing CvS2 or ripping 3s sprites.

[misterogyny]

Make sure you have the bios files in the same folder with the emu. You should have 8 files total.

cd_rom.dll
chankast.cfg
chankast_alpha.exe
chankast_alpha_capcom_hack.exe
chankast_alpha_new_gfx.exe
dc_bios.bin
dc_flash.bin
vms.bin

with vms.bin and chankast.cfg being created after you sucessfully run the emulator for the first time.

[Gavok]

Winquote generator for Third Strike? No way.

Second Impact is the way to go.

That still didn't work, but I'm not really crazy over playing the games on my comp. I just wanted to rip sprites from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I'm sure there'll be other versions that work on other computers. By that time somebody should already have the sprites ripped, though, so it's not that crucial.

[Zensouken]

OMG, my head is gonna explode looking at all this 3S goodness...

[misterogyny]

Winquote generator for Third Strike? No way.

Second Impact is the way to go.

Choices, choices.
If I can get one to run and the other won't, then the one that runs is the one I'll use. If I can't get anything, then I'll have to have someone else get it.

However, 2i seems a hell of a lot easier to deal with (2 characters, a bg, and some text) compared to 3s (bg, character, text, and a few fucking labels).

[Zensouken]

We need an MvC2 winquote generator.

Strider Hiryu: Dude, you just got here and totally cheapened the game. That was my job...

Cable: Nigga, please! HYPER VIPER BEAM!!!

[Gavok]

MvC2 doesn't have winquotes, slappy.

[Banned VX]

But, there were no winquotes or a winquote screen in MvC2, if I remember correctly.

Edit: Fuck, outsponded.

[Zensouken]

I know that, the fun is in making your own.

Now, I'm getting this message.

Is it that vms.bin file? If so, where can I get it, cause it didn't make one when I started this emulator for the first time?

[Jigsaw]

I'm pretty sure vms.bin is created when you format your VMU in the bios for the first time.

[Zensouken]

I'm pretty sure vms.bin is created when you format your VMU in the bios for the first time.

Yes, that is how it is created...

[Vic Viper]

I'm pretty sure vms.bin is created when you format your VMU in the bios for the first time.

So you're saying I have to somehow hook up my VMU on the computer?

Also, why am I still getting that "Illegal Operation" type message? What else is missing?

[Zensouken]

So you're saying I have to somehow hook up my VMU on the computer?

Dude, no, the VMU is integrated into the software...

[Vic Viper]

Oh.

[Zensouken]

You can't format it if your stuff doesn't even run, did you get it to work yet?

[Vic Viper]

You can't format it if your stuff doesn't even run, did you get it to work yet?

No. I said on my last post that I still have this message:

http://img46.photobucket.com/albums/v140/HitParade/Image1.jpg

And I got it after the DC logo.

Also, I did say that it never made a vms.bin file the first time the emulator was opened. Just wondering if there's a place where I could get this file.

[Shadow_Devil]

Dammit! I have like 4 isos and none of them run! I keep getting back to the CD player screen.

Help me plz!

PS: I am running WIN2000 with a Anthlon processor and a ATI Radeon 8500. I'm using Daemon Tools to emulate the isos.

[Zensouken]

Vic, if you get that screen after the DC logo, I really don't know what to say, Shadow, if you have the ISOs, you are better off burning them to CD-R then running the program off those discs. It was intended to run that way anyhow.

[Effeser]

Please guys, don't rip Makoto's standing animation. That thing is like 95 (!!!)frames of animation. I'm almost through with it.

[Effeser]

I was wrong with the 95 frames, it's 124 frames. It's mainly just her scarf and hair, but still... Optimizing the colors was certainly the hardest part, but now she should be recolorable.
I wasn't able to optimize the file size and set the transparency with MS gif editor (PSP's editor won't work anymore ;_;), so if anybody could do that for me, it's just two or three clicks with the right program.

Yeah, 2i seems to be the better choice. I noticed Chankast doesn't display the 3s win screen correctly. The text and some lines are messed up (lines that should be in the front are in the back and vice versa, similar to the shadows and background objects)
But nobody I've asked so far had a working 2i iso.

As you might noticed, I put some of the sprites I want to rip in my signature so we don't waste our time with sprites somebody else already ripped.

*saves and uses as avatar*

With probs, as well. :]

[Effeser]

omg file size rape

[EvilNeil]

*Makoto*
Absolutely amazing. 124 frames for a fucking idle animation! Capcom are so awesome at times.

I should set up the censor so that these amazing gifs get posted automatically, any time anyone says "lol crapcom lazy".

(Of course any replies referring to anything they've made in the five years since will be deleted mercilessly :D )

[Jigsaw]

Well, it's not 124 unique sprites. I would assume it isn't, at least. I don't know the specifics of Makoto's idle animation, but this animation I made of Dudley's stance:
http://jigsaw.johannesaxner.com/sprites/3sdudleyanimfull.gif
has 60-something frames, and if I wanted it to be even more accurate to the game, the frame count would probably be somewhere in the hundreds. Either way, it only has 25 or so unique sprites; still not a low amount by any means, but still not quite as insane as 124. I'm sure Makoto's idle animation is similar in this respect.
By saying this, I'm not trying to badmouth anyone or anything like that, I just wanted to make sure there are no misunderstandings. :)

[El Fuerte's #1 Fan]

Sorry for being such a whore... but can someone please make some CvS2 Kyosuke sprite rip?

[SILVER JUSTIN]

As for the Makoto sprite, I can't set the transparency in AM3, and I'm not sure why.

;(

[blackadde]

I think Elena has 58 unique frames, nothing repeated.

[boobookittyfuck]

Hey guys,

Purely curious as to how you guys are ripping these sprites. Is there a better way than screen grabbing? When I say screen grabbing I mean constantly hitting the 'print screen' button and pasting into photoshop. I'm not afraid of all the pixel cleanup. I'm just curious on how to pull off a move, say, Jill's Tyrant Super in MvC2, and capture it at the same time.

Thanks for the knowledge in advance!

[blackadde]

Get SnagIt, set to uncompressed AVI and guess at the framerate. I used 33 and dont think I missed any. Keep in mind the filesize balloons rather quickly.

[boobookittyfuck]

Thanks a lot!

[Vic Viper]

Sorry for being such a whore... but can someone please make some CvS2 Kyosuke sprite rip?

While you're at it, someone rip Hinata and Batsu ones also?

[Jigsaw]

Until today I've had serious HD space issues, so I've avoided the video capture method. Instead I just got some program for taking screenshots, the one I used was simply called "Screenshot Utility", I think. Using that, I just performed whatever move I wanted to rip, and mashed ctrl+alt+P and hoped I got everything I needed.
I just formated my HD though, so since I obviously have quite a lot of space now I'll definitely give video capture a closer look...

[Effeser]

I usually set Chankast's task priority to very low. It helps a lot, especially when working with screencapture programs that don't record automatically.

http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/harborgal/herv/sean_f_roundhouse.gif
Go Sean go!

[Jigsaw]

Is that animation really complete? Looks pretty choppy for 3S.

Correct, it's incomplete

For all that are interested, a new version has just been released (at www.chanka.org).

The crashes are gone now. Also 3rd Strike runs much faster (at least on my machine) - it's actually playable now. Some graphics are still a bit messed up, but nothing major.

Anyway, have fun.

[The Million Dollar Street Fighter Fan]

great to hear that they fixed a lot of the random crashes and made the speed better, this is one step up for the future of DC Emulation....

So, any of the games that wasn't working before (2nd Impact) work now?

[Log]

Don't know about 2nd Impact, but supposedly Shenmue and DOA2 work - my copy of DOA2:LE didn't though :(.

If you believe the release notes, compatibility should have increased quite a bit.

Well, good news:

The emulator runs with no problems now.

Bad news:

Appearently, I can't play burned games on it. Appearently, it keeps telling me to set the date everytime I hit start. And I think the games were self bootable, since I have no problems running it on the DC. And that's without the Utopia.

[Log]

Have you tried running isos of your games (allthough burned disks should work)?

Also, apparently chankast only plays selfboot-able games - no Bootdisk - so you might want to check that.

An Iso-file is just an image of a CD (basically the contents of a CD packed into a single file), which can then be burned.

Apart from that I have no idea what's going wrong, sorry.

When I boot up Chankast, I get the animated DC logo, then the date/time stuff, after going past that, I get the date/time screen again, and finally the DC menu. When I try to hit Play, I go through the exact same loop again. Yes, I do have only one of the images mounted at a time and I've got the emu set to the virtual drive. Anyone else running into this or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Hey again.. I found out what was wrong. Apparently I didn't have the correct dc_flash.bin file, so Chankanst was running in a constant loop. So, for documentation purposes, here's the site I grabbed that file and the correct DC BIOS from http://bioshouse.free.fr/. teh w00t!

[JRG]

Is their a way to add vmu's?

[Log]

Yes, there is.

You need to format the VMU first though. Here's how to do it:

Start the emulator without having a CD in your drive/an ISO mounted. When you are at the Dreamcast BIOS-Screen, select the VMU icon. This will lead you to the VMU Menu where you'll be able to format the VMU (like you had to do on the dreamcast).

Et voilà, you can now save your games.

Well, I guess you could rename the file 'vms.bin' which holds your data and format another one (and then do the same again, etc. until you have enough of them). You could only use one at a time though.
