Feet of Fury still hangs on the loading screen.

I'm having major troubles booting up any homebrew in this release. Could well be a prob at my end though (disc emulation software, bad images, etc).

Edit: Dcastle boots and plays brilliantly still

no homebrew still??? wow thats not good

[Del_Boy]

To say 'no homebrew still' is false. More correct would be 'not much homebrew still'

Alice works excellently (300+ fps)
Dcastle likewise
Revolver too

Seems to have taken a backwards step for Homebrew at the moment... but it's still early days.

[vipor231]

yea meant to clarify that now that im reading all over the place and it seems it is running a little bit more homebrew than before.thats a great thing,seeing that is the only thing keeping the dc alive and kicking.gotta love it

I decided to throw the contest entries at this build. So far, Boll freezes at the intro screen.

Maqiupai causes a crash.

Okay this will gonna be our new Compatibility list for Chanka Alpha v02...

Any other things tested? Any progress recognizable for our scene's devvers?

I almost think there isn't any hearing the reports so far... >

Nice to see a speedy update of this emu though... Maybe the next release... ???

damn you SSE

My athlon 700 doesn't work with it, so I won't be able to test it till monday at work

If no one saw my earlier post, here is a workaround for those of you with video cards that don't support hardware TnL.

Run a utility called 3d-Analyze - http://www.tommti-systems.com/main-Dateien/files.html which allows emulating hardware TnL or forcing it to use software TnL.
