Title: Daphne
Post by: psychlone78 on May 01, 2005, 11:14:45 am
Hello All,
I have Dragon's Lair 1 & 2, and Space Ace. Is there anyone out there that can give me some instructions on how to get them to work in daphne(emulator). I really need help with this problem. I spent nearly 90 bucks for these disks and have yet to play them. The original way to get them to work by downloading windvd just isnt working. :(

What versions do you have?  You need to convert the video / audio files to ones that dalphe can read.  There is a program to do this (dvdtodalphe??)... But it only works on the DVDRom version, not the DVD / ps2 / xbox version whatever its called.

I have the DVD-ROM versions. I tried the DVD2Daph but I cant get daphne to load right. It will say missing bin files or something. Now I cant even get the daphne  loader to run. It says runtime error

looks like you dont have your rom files in the right location.
(Plus.. make sure in the Daphne settings, to tell it you
are using MPEG video instead of a laserdisc player - there
is a dropdown somewhere in there)

I cant remember Exactly, but I think I had to unzip roms in
the directory instead of leaving them in a .zip format....

Where can I put the rom files. Are those what I downloaded or what I took from the DVD-Roms?

The roms are what you downloaded.  Inside the rom directory are folders for each game.  Inside the game folders is a TXT file that tells you which files it will be looking for.  You will have to unzip what you downloaded and make sure the files match...
