AtomicFe and Daphne Module Question

<< < (6/7) > >>

youki:
Woauh..you are too fast for me , today!

I was typing an answer and during my typing you managed to post 4 time..

So great, you found an solution.  I was suggesting to modify the loader.bat of Atomic according to your working daphnee command line.

But to sumarise, the problem was with the -nohwaccel flag?



Kevin Mullins:
Maybe it's just because of my video card... or lack there of a good one.
I'm just running the onboard stuff right now, so I'm thinking maybe it just couldn't handle the hardware acceleration. 
 :dunno


But since I'm here I got one other quick question.

Since I basically want to just run a single emulator (Daphne) can the first screen where you would choose an emulator be bypassed?
To just go straight to the list of laserdisc games. (?)

youki:
Try that :

Open AtomicManager.exe ,

Open the file  "<atomicfe>\plugnplay\daphne_101.24\daphne.cfg

Click on the "Define as Start up config".

Then exit.

then open PlugnplayManager.exe ,  and Disable all the module you see (including the Daphne one!!).

Exit, and start Atomic , it should start directly on the Daphne module.



Kevin Mullins:
Ah... that worked.
I had tried the "set as start up cfg" option, but never thought to disable the plug and play stuff.
And it even plays the startup video now as where it didn't before with the plug and play modules enabled.

 :cheers:

Now am I assuming correctly that if I want to edit the layout and options that I would only edit the daphne.cfg or do I still need to edit parts of the atomic019.cfg as well?

One thing I still need to configure is exiting games....... meaning generally ya use the ESC key to quit a Daphne game, but if someone hits it again for whatever reason it will close the frontend. Should I just map a different key for exiting one or the other?

by default, the video is not enabled in plugnplay mode, but it is possible to have it.

Yes, correct, you have to work only on your Daphne.cfg , the Atomic019.cfg file is not used anymore (anyway it was not used in Plugnplay mode).

you have 2 options with Atomic :
 
-you can change the exit key of Atomic , using AtomicKey.exe
-Or you can put a Password on exit (password can be entered using the controlpanel) , it is an option of Atomic.  If the correct password is not entered after few second, it go back to the fe screen.

A 3rd options would be to change the exit key of Daphnee , but i don't know if it is possible.
