Dragon's Lair Mpegs - Problem!

[DreamWeb]

I have the Dragon's Lair M2V's on my hard drive...  But unlike some of the other images of these games that I've seen that only have one .m2v and one .ogg, the one I have has many.

I can get it started up in Daphne..  but, I think it's a mess.  It starts me out on the bridge scene outside the castle to begin with (after the diagnostic mode, of course)..   And if I die twice trying to cross the bridge.. it'll randomly place me in some other area of the game that I'm unfamiliar with.  Seems very messed up.

What can I do to get this straightened out?  Or do I need to find myself a new version of the mpegs?

Thank you.

By the way.. this is what my framefile looks like.  Do you think that I may have the incorrect frame file?  Is there an easy way to determine (and then fix) this?

It sounds like you are runing the dle 1.1 rom set. That is correct for 1.1. If you want to play the game as in the arcade use the F2 rom set.

Well, I can't get this working (properly) at all..  I never played the original in the arcade, so, I'm not even sure if it's supposed to jump scenes like this.. (seems odd though)

Are you saying that I need to find some new video files?

[Magnet_Eye]

I thought thats how dragon's lair was, it randomly loads you into different scenes at times.

[terryd]

From what I understand, the random scene is correct to the original.  The makers did not want people practicing the moved over and over.  Instead, everytime you'd die, you will start a different scene.  I think only the PC versions kept going through the same scene.

[DreamWeb]

I understand why they did it...

But makes zero sense from a narrative perspective.

I thought the game was supposed to tell a story.

From what I can tell.. Space Ace is Linear..  Isn't it?

I think that space ace is more linear, but remember that this was the first version of dragon's lair... it was a whole new concept altogether, so they made some choices that turned out to be "questionable"   I can see the logic in a vacumn in their thinking, but in practice, telling a story is more important (on the other hand, if you were just a casual user, you would get to see multiple scenes).

Thanks guys.  I appreciate the help.

It's not like how I remember it... but, then, I was just a little kid

Thanks!
