btoddkelley:
Are there any daphne experts here at byoac????? I really need to talk to one! I can make a mame machine sing but i can't get daphne to do anything but give me "can't initialize laserdisc" when i attaempt to do a seek test. I own the disc's to about 9 laser games but i did not make the mpeg files for my self, i downloaded them from mame fans. I would be happy to trade some arcade parts if someone could help me get this thing up and running!!
BTW i was afraid to post at the daphne page, they don't seem as nice over there!!!!
Thanks Todd

Do you have the Virtual LDP selected as your lasdisc type?
btoddkelley:
yes i have virual LD selected. I believe it is a problem with how the mpegs are set up. there are about 35 files for each game. I need to be able to tell the framefile where it needs to look but i am not sure how.
Thanks
Todd

It sounds like the mpegs are compressed into smaller files. Do the files end with extensions like .rar or .r01? If so, they need to be uncompressed using WinRAR first.
btoddkelley:
Ok, i am officially an idiot. I have now uncompressed the mpegs for each game. They become 1 large movie file. now when i attempt a seek test daphne starts (screen goes blank) then returns to the desk top. no errors are recorded in the log. any ideas? oh and thanks for the help before!!!
