Post by: shateredsoul on February 26, 2010, 02:36:53 am

daphne.exe lair vldp -framefile "K:\Games\daphneframefilepath\Lair.txt" -fullscreen

this is what the daphnelog.txt read

ok fixed it, just had to point the fraimfile toward the right folder.

Does anyone know if there's anyway of improving the video? looks a bit pixelated

Yes get the HD version from Digital Leisure and make your own frame file.

I did this for Space Ace and it looks million times better.

Other than that just put your Digital Leisure DL DVD in your PC drive and let Daphne download the original laserdisc capture.

How did you have Daphne capture the video? Did you use the frontend? How do you get Daphne to download the frame file?

I found this version of Dragon's lair, would this work?

Yes that is the software version to get, yet I suggest getting the 20th Anniversary Edition.  Nice price too!

You need DVD2Daph (http://www.laserarchive.com/dvd2daph/) to make the files from the disc.

The rest is documented in the archive.

If you get stuck visit www.daphne-emu.com (http://www.daphne-emu.com)

Have fun!
