Daphne in Mala help!
« on: June 06, 2014, 01:39:49 am »
Hello all, I'm new to this forum and I'd like to get some help if anyone may have a few minutes. I would sure appreciate it. I've been trying for days to run Daphne in Mala. I followed uncle t's instructions but alas, it didn't work. I was able to create the batch files for my 3 games, DL, DL II and Space Ace and they work fine when i double click them. Here's my issue, I tried using the Mala-Daphne-Batch.zip available through Mala and I cannot get any kind of Daphne.bat file to work. Funny thing is that uncle t mentions leaving the executable field blank in his set up. I've tried and tried and the games will not load. I get an error saying "Failed to execute program "Dragon's Lair" error code 2." Uncle t says leave the executable blank but Mala says use a Daphne.bat file instead of Daphne.exe. I don't get it. Could someone please help? I'm sure this subject has been talked about before but I couldn't find  post on this particular problem. Thanks, Brian.

Daphne works fine in Mala but it can be bit tricky to set up. Uncle T's isn't the most clear or accurate. See my comments in the following three threads for more help:

Posting these threads are the quick way to get you some answers. If you're still stuck, post again and I'll try to chime in with more specific help. :)
