Title: Batch file to handle different settings for Daphne games?
Post by: arcadealex on December 11, 2003, 09:25:07 pm

Now that I've got MW working with Daphne - (thanks Minwah!!)
I am trying to get Daphne to be able to play each laser game using specific command line settings depending on the game?

Has anyone done this? Minwah suggested something like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
if %1 = badlands then
    daphne badlands -latency 150 and -nohwaccel
if %1 = lair then
    daphne lair -whateveryouwant
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will give something like this a go on the weekend, but I was hoping someone out there has already tried it and has a solution ??
If so - could someone please post the code they use in the daphne.bat that MW uses to run the games?

Thanks again
Sandro, Australia.

skip the batch file, use one of the wrappers.... i believe i evne have one of the daphne configurations up as an example in the online docs

Ok - thanks.. I think I understand it

So, from what I've read in the docs, I need to:

1. set up the daphne.cfg file that looks like similar to this:
extension=.txt
path=d:\daphne\
exe=daphne.exe
send rom path=0
send exit keys=0
command line options; vldp -fullscreen -framefile %.txt -x 1024 -y 768 -nohwaccel

Then in the lconfig.ini I need to set up specific entries (in the {cmdlist} section) for each Daphne game?

And as long as I have the entries match the framefile name it should be right?

If that's all correct, the only question I have is how to do I get MW to run this wrapper?  ???
Will I need tell MW that the executable for Daphne is the cmd-launch5.exe ?

Thanks

yup you've got it

 and in the wrapper's lconfig.ini you tell it that the emulator is daphne.exe
