Daphne General Question
« on: July 04, 2009, 03:52:50 pm »
Ok, I have been searching all night, but I didnt find anything... can someone tell me if its possible to load Daphne games and SKIP all of the tests in the beginning so it just loads right to the game?

If its not possible or never been done, just let me know. Or if I'm not searching for the right thing, let me know what to search for.

Thanks.

This is a "-fastboot" option you can use on the command line to skip the startup stuff, but it only works for a few games (but Dragon's Lair is one of those few).

Yeah, this works nice with DL. Many of the others, especially Cobra Command, are quick and don't need it.

does anyone know if this would work in Daphne? I tried adding it with and without the quotes and they take the same amount of time to load

HMM. DaphneLoader has command-line options. I'm guessing if you're using straight Daphne with an FE, then there must be the same in a spot for that emulator. Yes?
