Guys. You heard it hear first. The Dreamcast emulater, Chankast have been ported to Xbox.

Don't expect to play Skies of Arcadeia or Grandia II yet though...

Have FuN!!!

There's been mutterings in a bunch of forums and on irc about this. I don't really know if it has been officially confirmed or not though, so I wouldnt hold my breath.

garrofi has been on vacation enjoying the beach, sun and women...he has been quoted as saying that he is sick of working on chankast for the time being.

i wouldnt hold my breath on an xbox port - let alone a new win32 build for a while

I've always had trust issues with people who can't correctly spell "emulator".

Thanks for the hot tip though.

a dreamcast emulator would be fun, but how many games would you expect to play

even if it played 2 games, at like 15 fps.... I would SHIT MY PANTS!!!!1[/SIZE]

Doubt its true, I dont trust spanish forums as the translation is not to be trusted.

It's doubtful at the moment with the source code not available yet (unless the authors have done it) but it is possible in the future, but porting it would be more time consuming, adding virtual memory is one, and optimising it secondly (would be slow without it)

I do recon we'll see the emulator ported it to the xbox eventually though, the dreamx 1.4GHz has the potential to emulate a few games well

My dreamcast is sexier than my xbox

but back on topic...
the games would probably(definitely) run like crap, heck the n64 emulation and ps1 ain't even perfect. Dc's a powerful system.

I doubt it would every run even near to full spead. It would probably be worse then pcsxDC (ported psx on dreamcast that runs very slow 15fps or less 4fps in some cases)

Man, I undertand all the old school emus, I tossed all my old atari and nes shit a while back. But you can go buy a DC for 25$ at the pawnshop down the Street and play all the DC games at full speed!!! WOW!

I wish people would stop with the DC shit.. It aint gonna happen. And even if it does, would you want to release somthing that plays 5% of the games and even then at half speed?

I know I wouldnt... I would post some screenies to show what can be done... but that would be it. Because you know the nature of the scene... you release somthing that aint 80% perfect and people treat you like you owe them somthing and bitch and complain and "when is so and so game gonna work" I just wouldn bother if I was them... My dc sits right above my xbox and i play the shit out of the MOST UNDERATED system of all time.... friends still come over and tell me how they never knew the DC was such a good looking system... Half the games still look good by Todays standards and they stopped making games like what ?? 2 years ago??

Take a pill guys and ask for somthing more reasonable like a atari7800 emu

the one system I tossed before I found a suituble Xbox emu for hehe

I still got my DC, 2 working controllers (a good friend of mines bought me 4, mint, on eBay just recently), and a box full o' games right at my side.
Still seeing an emulator of it for Xbox would be okay.
