How to play DVD games on cabinet?
« on: May 25, 2011, 08:34:23 pm »
I know this is lame but I want to do it.

The game Time Traveler stole all of my money as a kid. I bought the DVD & want to install it on my HD & map the joystick & buttons accordingly.

Does anyone know how to do this? Last time I tried (prior to a clean install) I couldnt map the keys of my DVD player software... does anyone know of a DVD player program that does allow this? This is gonna be a beyatch to set up on hyperspin too I bet FML.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

VLC allows one to map keys and play DVDs.

For Time Traveler... *I think* if you have the DVD you can use Singe, an add-on for Daphne.
