Laserdisc games (Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, etc.)
SirPoonga:
You'd need a dvd player to get the mpegs, but after that no, you don;t need one. (Hint, borrow one if you don;t have one)
You will probably end up with over a gig of mpegs.
Minwah:
Has anyone tried copying the video files from a Philips CDi disk?? A program called ISOBUSTER allows you to read a CDi disk, but I'm not sure whether Dragons Lair/II/Space Ace would work with Daphne from this - maybe with some playing around it could be made to work.
Anyhow, I'm going to give it a go as soon as I get these games on CDi. :)
Howard_Casto:
It won't work because the cdi version is modified, and thus the frames won't match up. It's the same reason the dvd video or the pc-cdrom disc won't work.
Sorry :(
Minwah:
I see - shame :(
Oh well I'm more interested in Mad Dog McCree ( :) )anyway, which is not supported in Daphne AFAIK.
Dink:
It wasn't stated obviously for the slow ones (me).
You can direct Daphne to use MPEG's ripped (sampled) from a DVD that Digital Liesure sells instead of a real laser disc player. The DVD version. You use the DVD2Daph program to do that.
If you search enough you can find these MPEGs (with the needed framefiles) already ripped on the internet. Dragon's Lair is about 1gb, Space Ace about 1.2GB, Goal To Go about 1.5gb in multipart .rar files.
The Space Ace MPEGs (for use with Daphne) are currently being released in alt.binaries.games.arcade (that group name might be wrong, I'll check when I get home from work). Dragon's Lair and others soon to follow. :) ;)
