Help a Noob with Daphne
Cakemeister:
I believe that the correct answer to the OP's question is yes.
Without an internet connection, you will have to use the older 0.99.7 version of Daphne and use the dvd2daph utility to convert the DVD into files that Daphne can use. This will not make DL2 work, only DL and SA.
Prior to version 1.0, that's what I did to get Daphne to work. I have the 20th anniversary edition. The games are semi-playable on any DVD player such as a PS/2, but the lag between scenes is so bad (especially on DL2) that the games are not fun to play on the DVD player.

ignore everyone dude
just download every game via DDL & buy the magnificent 3 dvd's of controversy on ebay for like $5-$10 each
then open each game to make sure it works, daphene will want to confirm & check in & etc to verify......be patient, it will want to download even more crap actually & hopefully a seeder is being nice that day.
afterwards open each game to make sure it works.
then hook your buddies pc up to the your pc via Ethernet cables, make the daphne folder on his a shared folder & link the two PC's together to pull data from one HD to the next
on the arcade pc, go to daphne (not downloader, just loader) & click file, then preferences, then DISABLE: incoming connection test, bittorrent to verify, auto downloading & latest build auto download to remove that damn auto link update garbage.
then highlight a game, click the game tab up top, under laserdisc click config laser disc, choose to manually install the missing files & beneath that browse to the vldp or whatev folder the game is in, pick the games dedicated folder & then make the txt file the choice (well, its your only file seen by the browse function).
then go to the video tab, enable full screen, choose your resolution & in the same blade go to the video tab.
you have to do that for every game
Saint pinball blesses you
