well , first you can go here and download the chankast 0.25

Its the best DC emulator so far , as the other version is poorly updated .

after you downloaded it extract it out , there should be two ZIPPED files , extract it again , and put all the things in one file , ( all the dll. files and chankast0.25 including the Darkman's plugin dll)

and then you need to have both dc_bios.bin and dc_flash.bin , type this two phrase in www.google.com and you will find it ( i can't post the link here for it ) p.s. try to download it from BADONGO .

After downloaded thses two files , put it in the same file which contain all the chankast thingy . And there you have it a Emulator .

And the last thing is Daemon Tool , it is needed to mount image into virtual drive for Dreamcast to play it . you can download it from here http://disc-tools.com/download/daemon , its the lastest version daemon4303-lite
. The setup required rebooting , after rebooting , it will automatically run the setup again .

For further information refer here (http://www.coolrom.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167).
its a complete guide . You can also read the chankast_manual in the files you extracted.
