Correct. (If you are using the latest version, that is) |

I don't know what DL rom I have... the framefile has only a single reference pointer, to frame 151. With my DL rom, upon setup, it goes thru some crazy stuff first (the sequence is mentioned above) but then settles into a normal /correct sequence of title screen, trailer movie, repeat. What I want to know if if there are other, different versions of the DL roms, that as soon as you 'load' the game thru Daphne, go straight to the title screen / trailer movie, without the weird "startup" screens my version of the rom has? Someone else mentioned above that when they play DL their setup has the same weird startup sequences... so are all versions of DL the same, or are there other rom sets out there that are correct from the very beginning? |

I would suggest this first. Since you dont know what rom you are using, Go to the Dragon's Lair Project Website http://www.dragonslairproject.com/ And download the F2 Roms and get them in place. Tell daphne to use the F2 roms and then let us know if it is working or not. It will be hard to troubleshoot if we dont know exactly what you are using. (since there are so many different roms out for DL) :) |

Thanks for the advice dgrams2000... here are the results. Firstly, I went to the MAME pc, and had a look at what rom files I had, as I couldn't remember downloading any. It turned out the torrent for Dragon's Lair came with a bunch of rom files (for all the Daphne games) and I had simply copied them all over into the rom directory of Daphne. So, I moved all the files out, and replaced it with the f2 version rom, as suggested by dgrams2000. I tested the game through MaLa, and it came back with an error saying it couldn't find the rom file. I renamed dl_revf2.zip to lair.zip, re-ran DL thru MaLa, and it worked. That is to say, the game loaded. I still had the same screwy start-up. Then as I was exploring the Daphne directory I decided to start Daphneloader, which I admit I have not done much with. I noticed that there are several Dragon Lairs in the list, which until now I did not know what the different revisions referred to. So I clicked on the configure button, hoping to configure Daphne for that rom version etc. That's when I came across the following error: So, the question is: how do I fix this? And, once I get it fixed, are there any settings that will help my Daphne setup? Is DaphneLoader just a front-end for Daphne or does it also do behind-the-scenes config stuff for teh Daphne executable? |

Quit messing around with the old version. The new Daphne Loader is at 2.1.51. You can download it here: New Daphne This version will also auto download whatever files you need for the non Digital Leisure games... |
