Daphne error while using MALA
« on: June 22, 2011, 12:34:49 am »
I've spent all night trying to get daphne to work with MALA.

I can start Dragon's Lair with the batch file just fine or I can start it with DaphneLoader just fine.

But when I go into MALA to launch it I get the  error:

Could not load bitmap: pics/led0.bmp, pics/led1.bmp, etc......

I have the exe blank
The rom path points to the dir my batch file is in.  Extension is set to bat
The command is set to "%path%\%rom%.%ext%"

Any ideas on this one?  I did a forum search and found nothing

My batch file is as follows:

@echo off

"c:\emulators\programs\daphne\daphne.exe" lair vldp -framefile "c:\emulators\programs\daphne\framefile\dl.txt" -fullscreen -nohwaccel -latency 300

Those sound like Daphne errors, not MaLa errors. I have Daphne and MaLa set up with bat files, no problem. I can give you specifics on how, but probably not for a day or two.

I fixed it.

My Batch file read:

@echo off
"c:\emulators\programs\daphne\daphne.exe lair vldp -framefile "c:\emulators\programs\daphne\framefile\dl.txt" -fullscreen -nohwaccel

I changed it to read:
@echo off
cd c:\emulators\programs\daphne

"daphne.exe" lair vldp -framefile "c:\emulators\programs\daphne\framefile\dl.txt" -fullscreen -nohwaccel


now MALA loads it just fine
