Lazarus and Daphne config

[jginiso]

I cant seem to get Lazarus to display my Daphne ROMs. Ive followed the documentaion and tried several things including changing daphne's dir on c:, pointing to c:\daphne\framefile instead of \roms, and useclones=1. Here are my lazarus settings:

[Daphne.cfg]
extension=.txt
path=c:\Daphne\
exe=daphne.exe
send rom path=0
send exit keys=0
command line options; vldp -fullscreen -framefile %.txt -x 1024 -y 768 -nohwaccel

[Dirs]
roms=c:\emu\mame32\roms;c:\Daphne\roms\;c:\visualpin\Tables\;

[path]
logo=daphne.gif
caption=Daphne
useclones=0
searchstrings:5=Daphne
filters:6=*mature*
[/path]

My framefiles and zipped roms are named DLE_20 and SAE_10. Paths are c:\Daphne\framefile and c:\Daphne\roms. Any help would be appreciated, Im stumped.

thanks
James

Well, unless you keep your frame files in your roms directory you don't have the proper directory defined.  Lazarus completely ignores the roms and is only interested in the framefiles. (At least the way you have it setup which is also how i set it up.)

Why? Well for one the roms aren't named after the command to launch each game.  Also daphne only works with uncompressed roms, in other words no zip files.  Also you need a daphne.dat file to put in the "/list generator/dats/" folder.  Your framefiles should be named to match the rom entries contained in that dat file.  

And of course you must make sure that inside said dat file, the name is "Daphne" exactly spelled and cased as you have it in your serach string.  

That should do it.

Thanks Howard. I forgot to point back to the framefile after creating my DAT file.
