Digital Leisure Games in XP

This is where people get confused when it comes to daphne and mpeg games. The MPEG clips (aka the game) is ripped from the dvd.
The "ROMS" are NOT the game itself.  The roms are just  instructions from the computer that told the laser disc player where to jump to after you made a move with the joystick  in the game.

So, the ROMS are prefectly legal to download and there is a link from daphne site where you can get several versions of the roms for space ace and dragons lair.  The mpegs you have to rip off of the dvd's. Like i said up top, the 20'th anniv. set is the best one to rip from because of the deleted scenes they added back into the games.  :)
Hope this clears it up a little :)

You all mentioned ripping the DVDs, but I have purchased the CD-ROM version.  Is it they same process to make the mpegs available for DAPHNE off of CDROM?  Appreciate the help!   :)

I pm'd ya.......... and yes the cdrom version you cant do a direct rip to use in daphne as they have already compressed the file to mpeg on the cd.....which means (if I am not mistaken) you would have to convert it back to dvd somehow since this is what daphne needs because it is emulating the original laser disc machine

The daphne site explains how to convert the digital leasure dvd's and how to convert the original laser discs but nothing on cd's

GroovyTuesdaY:
Far as i know the cd-rom versions are not compatible with daphne, however someone may correct me on that.  Sign up and visit the daphne forums and from there you can ask questions about cd-rom versions or just do a search on their forum and see if that question has already been asked.

Rocky:
Actually, you can use the CD version in Daphne. It is totally unsupported by them.  Someone made a conversion utility for it, but the graphics are really bad, nothing like the DVD version.

However, if you want to test Daphne and have an old CD version, then it is good to test with.
