Help a Noob with Daphne

this is what you need...

However you WILL NEED A INTERNET CONNECTION. (the faster the better as these are some large files and can take 24 hrs + to down load.)
you will still need to buy the dragons lair disc / s from digital leisure in order to get dragon's lair working in daphnee, as digital L have some sort of a deal/ agreement with the people that created daphnee ...you can get dragons lair ready to run , but before you can run it the first time you need to insert the disc to verify that you have the right to run the soft ware.
BASS!:
They should just have a single license that you can buy. I gave up setting up daphne because they have just repeatedly made is an enormous hassle. I wish they sold the DVD pack on their website, with serial numbers, and called it good. Not go to amazon, then go to ebay, then go to the ftp, then wait a million hours for downloads, then set up the games, then get error messages, then delete the game you just bought and go buy another.

I've never had any of these issues, particularly since the release of 1.0 . Just download the Daphne package, run it, it does everything...except the Digital Leisure games, in which case the information is above (or elsewhere...). I set mine up a couple years ago with only 256k. Anything less than that, well, who has dial-up anymore? Who's accessing the web from the library??

I would prefer you had the original laserdiscs and ripped the mpeg from them. :angel:

Man it sure is good to find others here that can help... Everybody at home that I ask for help are like
" 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...
