OLD AGE CHAO
MY CHAO DIED EVEN THOUGH I HAD 999 ON EVERYTHING AND THE HP WAS 52/52. HOW DID IT DIE? CAN IT DIE OF OLD AGE?

Cynthia Reynolds

Yes, Chao get old and unfortunately, they expire. If you treat them well, they will revert to an egg, if not, they will pass away. Try breeding them to pass on some of it's heritage.

WALK WALK WALK
why does my chaos always crawl instead of walk like the other chaos he races? He stands up when he is in the gardens. He even runs.Why wont he do this in the race? I have the black chaos from the ship. all his skills are way over a hundred.Can you help me out?I am tired of loosing the races because he wont get up and run.

Your Chao may still be a baby! Try evaluating it and see how old it is. Also, put it in your VMU and take it for a walk to work out those little feet. Good luck!

THAT MYSTERIOUS CHAO HEART EMAIL
After you have one of your Choas evaluated and the Choa sends you an Email, what does it mean if your Chao writes, "P.S. i'm ready to give up"? What could I do to help whatever it is?

Steve Marks

Steve, Chao say what they feel at the moment they are evaluated, and sometimes it doesn't mean much. Just make sure you take good care of your Chao and all should be fine. Let them think whatever they want to think!

FRIENDLESS CHAO
When I got my chao evaluated, he sent me an e-mail. In the e-mail, he said he wanted friends. How can I get him a friend

Alex

Ah, your Chao is lonely! Put him in a VMU, and go over to a friend who has a Chao in his VMU. Engage in a friendly Chao Battle or Marry your Chao and voila: your Chao has made a friend! You can't really blame them, it's pretty dark and lonely inside a Dreamcast when you're sleeping or in school.

ANGRY CHAO!
Whenever I win a fruit on the VMU minigame I try to give him a fruit, but he just kicks it away and sometimes he kicks away chaonuts and starnuts! What do I do?

Claude Nasse

Uh oh, you've got an angry Chao! You must have done something to make your Chao mad at you because it won't even eat! Give it lots of hugs, lots of food (if it is willing to eat) and lots of attention. My, they do get little attitudes, don't they?

MORE DAYCARE TROUBLES
I loaded my chao in the vmu but when I try to put it in daycare it says FILE NOT FOUND,what do I do?

Fatma Caliskanlar

I get millions of email about this same question. When you are about to put your Chao in the Chao Machine (VMU), push and hold Y+A until you hear a "RING" sound. It is important that you have 11 blocks free for the Chao Send Data file. That should do it. Good luck!
