Maximus Arcade and Daphne

[shateredsoul]

so... I figured out how to run Daphne great from .bat files (I thought I need these to run them in Maximus, because maximus arcade scans for .bat files according to the scan tab).

I setup the emulator as daphne.exe and the roms folder as a folder with the .bat files.  It doesn't work.. I'm not surprised since I'm asking maximus to make Daphne run a batch file that executes daphne.  Does anyone have an idea of how I can edit these .bat files so they can launch through Daphne.exe?

here is the working .bat file outside of maximus

:: Dragon's Lair
::
@ECHO OFF
K:
CD \Games\daphne\
daphne.exe lair vldp -framefile "K:\Games\daphne\framefile\Lair.txt" -fullscreen


I thought maybe just having

" lair vldp -framefile "K:\Games\daphne\framefile\Lair.txt" -fullscreen, in the bat would work, but it didn't any other ideas on how I can do this? maybe all i need is just "K:\Games\daphne\framefile\Lair.txt" in the .bat and editing the command line section at the bottom"

I don't really want to use the daphneloader as it always tries to connect to the internet and my connection is slow

Here's a pic of the setup screen

I don't have Maximus, but I have some experience setting up batch files for Daphne. If you update your screenshot to show the setup for your daphne emulator we may be able to help out more.

ok is there a tutorial on how to set up daphneloader in maximus. The other problem Im having is that I cant remap any of my keys on my x-arcade dual, on the daphneloader, so i always end up using a mouse to select and start games...........please help, this is the last piece of the puzzle so i can be done with this and just play.....lol

ps .......daphneloader is set not to connect and still asks if i want the new update everytime i open it

wish I could help, i've moved on to another frontend and forgotten pretty much everything about maximus =/  well at least I forgot how I setup Daphne.

This is what I did. It works and there are no loading/cmd window screens.

I set MA to look for .VBS files

Then I created VBS files for each game, ex. Dragon's Lair.vbs

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "c:\Emulators\Daphne\Batch\Dragon's Lair.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

This hides the execution of the bat file.

Then I created Dragon's Lair.bat (This is all one line, no line break)

C:\Emulators\Daphne\Daphne.exe lair vldp -fullscreen -x 800 -y 600 -nohwaccel -framefile C:\Emulators\daphne\roms\DragonsLair\dl_framefile.txt

Thought I resurrect this thread 

I am able to launch Dragon's Lair now with the vbs files (thx ehauk), but I can't get Maximus to recognize what they are so art / videos play?  is there a way to force this?

Thanks,
