Title: Anyone here setup Daphne?
Post by: RetroJames on March 31, 2005, 03:56:34 pm: I am having a heck of a time setting this up on XP. Can anyone help?

Here is the issue I currently have as
posted on the Daphne forums (no reply yet) at:
https://www.daphne-emu.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1693;

Running Daphne for the first time. Followed the instructions and read the
faq. Running DL or CC from the loader, a dos type window opens for a sec,
then closes without running the game. I am using XP.

I copied the command line it is using and tried running it from cmd window.
I get multiple errors stating that it cannot locate the led bitmaps in
\pics\ledx.bmp

The path to these bmps is c:\daphne\pics\ledx.bmp and they are there.

I also downloaded the most recent version and am using that.

Here is the logfile contents. Thanks in advance for any assistance;

--DAPHNE version 0.99.6
--Command line is: C:\Daphne\daphne.exe cobraab vldp -framefile
C:\Daphne\framefile.txt

Reading key remapping file ... (if the file is corrupt, daphne will crash,
just so you know hehe)

One thing that helped me troubleshoot was to run it in a windowed mode instead of full-screen. Everytime I tried full-screen it bombed on me. I haven't gone back yet to see what the problem is.

You might try and reinstall Daphne and see if that doesn't fix it.

Post by: RetroJames on April 01, 2005, 01:34:35 pm: I tried in windowed mode, and no custom key maps.

I was only able to see the "cant load ledx.bmp..." errors when I ran it from the cmd line.

Using the loader, it just pops up a dos type window for a sec then bombs

:(
