DL2 framefile

[FrizzleFried]

I had Daphne running on my cab last year.  A hard drive crash later and I am trying to set it up again.  I only want to run DL, DL2 and SA.  I got DL and SA running no problem but I don't have a freakin' frame file for DL2.  I remember encountering this problem last year but for the life of me I can't remember how I resolved it...but I DO remember playing DL2 on my cab.

Any suggestions?

(PS: This is the OLD Daphne version)

I've attached my frame file...is this what you need?

[FrizzleFried]

I think that may be the framefile for the new version of Daphne?  It no work.



Sucks to get SA and DL up...but no DL2.  I remember distinctly being frustrated over the fact this happened before.

But I got it to work somehow.

I havent updated my daphne is YEARS...so I know this isn't for the new version of Daphne. Maybe you can post your log file to give an idea of what is happening....

I'll try to remember to dig mine up and post it here tonight.  I also have the old Daphne.
There is also a way to figure out the start offset by yourself by stepping through the video and marking certain known frames, although I can't remember how.

Here's mine.  If its the right one, you'll probably still have to edit the first line to reflect the path to the files for your setup.  If the frame file is in the same folder as the files that are listed in the framefile, the first line will simply be a period.  Mine is set to what it is because I elected to put all my frame files in the same folder to make it easier for the front end to launch the many games that Daphne supports.

The one that SGT provided is the same one that i have.. i hope that they release an HD version of DL2 that's the only other one that i'd care to have on my machine in the better resolution. The HD Rips of DL, And SA look incredible

What is the exact size of your .m2v file? I have 3 or 4 different versions of dl2 for daphne and the different framefiles I have are 0, -66, and -67 ...... Have you used the framefile wizard before?

[ahofle]

Here's mine (my dl2.m2v file is exactly 1,718,717,520 bytes):

\daphne\roms\dl2
-63 dl2.m2v

I just re-encoded the DVD and it created a framefile for me.  Thanks for the efforts folks...now to figure out how I used to launch Daphne within Mamewah....

Thanks Tim...I am sure that will help a bit.

I got everything up and running... 95% anyway.  The last thing I need to do is figure out how to change the names appearing in my list from the rom name (lair, lair2, ace) to full names.

...and ideas?

Yep...if you look in the config file I posted, there is a NMS file that does this exact thing... here is what my nms file looks like...

Just name the file daphne.nms and point to it in mamewah see my posted config..... You can actually name the stuff on the left anything you want as long as the right hand side has the correct file name..

Dragon's Lair 2: Timewarp|lair2

The left is waht will display, the right is the rom name....
