 " You are building a whuttt? ". My wife  ( I love her so) said that she would get me the Dragon's Lair DVDs from Digital Lesiure. Found them on Amazon for cheap.( NOTE: I  said DVD, not PC-ROM).

Now correct me if I am wrong...but with the DVDs....This is where I am confused because I have heard differnt stories....But if I install Daphne, then drop the DVD in the drive, will it work?

As for finding the orignal laserdisk....man the last laserdisk i saw lying around was a Smokey and the Bandit...and I was 12 years old...now going on 33.

As of now, Im just going through my MAME games and setting them up on Maximus Arcade and setting up my jukebox. I tried messing around with Visual Pinball, ( dont let me get into that story...) but it confused me more...

Hey, *I* still have Laserdiscs ... get offa my lawn!

The answer to your Dragon's Lair DVD question is, I think, both YES and NO.

You need compatible A/V files and those are not on the DVD. Having the DVD, however, provides you with legitimate access to download those compatible A/V files. So, if you have a nice connection to teh innertubes, then everything will be groovy. If not, well, not so much.

If you have the PC-ROM versions, IIRC, you can use a variety of tools and extract the desired files.

You may want to look at finding yourself some decent net access (whether at work or elsewhere) for your emulation computer with Daphne installed and the DVDs handy.

LOL!   I'm not putting down laserdisks...lol... I miss them....I meant to say that they are VERY rare around home.

Ok back to Daphne....I dont have internet at home...So If my wife gets me the DVDs and then i take them to someone who does have internet, download Daphne....Daphne downloads the proper files for me...I then transfer the folder to my usb stick, run home with the DVDs and transfer ithe files to the computer at home...pop the DVD in the drive.....it should work? :dizzy:

you need a connection to verify the dvd. you would need to activate it, then copy it and take it home, i think id be tempted to take my pc along to my friends and do it directly to my hard drive.
you can do all the downloading without the dvd , the dvd just allows the software to run
