Anubis_au:
I've recently gone through an ordeal to get Dragon's Lair going so I may be able to assist.

To install Daphne, get UncleT's guide and download the files he says, even if you don't set up your directory structure the same way he does. One thing I found out is, when you have installed daphne, make sure you then update it to the latest version of daphneloader.

After that, for each game, set up daphneloader with the correct rom info, and launch / relaunch each game, several times or more, each time tweaking the settings for the gameplay, delays etc until you are satisfied with how each game plays. When you are happy, find the daphneloader feature that allows you to copy the command line settings etc that you used when you launched it. Copy this into a bat file like UncleT says. I found for Dragon's Lair, my final settings used many more flags than what UncleT's guide had, but how unique it is for my particular setup / preferences, I don't know... play around until YOU are satisfied, is my suggestion.

After you have each game tweaked / called from a batch file, then look on here for another thread which discusses how to add daphne games into your main games list in MaLa, should you want to do that. If you don't want, or don't use MaLa, then ignore this bit...

I should mention that I've also recently procurred the full daphne romset but so far haven't had time to do anything other that copy the discs onto my hard drive. But I can't imagine the process will change radically from game to game...

Good luck.

Doubt it.  Can't link to roms or burners.

Guess again - that link comes up from time to time in the Google ads...

I thought he was referring to a thread.  I admit that I pay little to no attention to the Google Ads and often forget they're there.

And now I'm confused about something else.  The replies on this thread seem to deal with setting up Daphne but I was under the impression that he got it working but wasn't familiar with the gameplay

and I explained that it was normal.   If I misread your issue (i.e.: can't get it to run properly instead of not being familiar with its quirks), then ignore everything I had previously said.

WCBoudreaux:
I'm actually pretty good with the daphne emu, and the laserdisc games... I'm also a long time member on the daphne forums... If u still need further help, PM me, and I'll help u get it straightened out...

One thing I will warn you about... DO NOT go to the daphne forums and ask for help on this matter... They do not approve of people who get the images from burners, or illegally... That is one thing you will definately get flamed for over there... lol

Anyway, let me know if you still need help...

I'm gonna be missing that avatar....   ;D
