Title: daphne.bat problem in MAMEWAH
Post by: somunny on November 28, 2004, 07:24:08 pm

I'm trying to get my Daphne games set up in MAMEWAH.  I seem to be close but can't get past this problem:  (I'm using Dragon's Lair coverted via dvdtodaph from the DVD)

From daphne.log (after attempting to launch thru MAMEWAH):

--DAPHNE version 0.99.6
--Command line is: E:\Daphne\daphne.exe DLE20 vldp -framefile E:\Daphne\framefile\DLE20.txt -fullscreen -useoverlaysb -x 800 -y 600

Could not open file : E:\Daphne\framefile\.\dl-slates.m2v

My .bat file is listed in the log, but here it is anyway:

start/wait E:\Daphne\daphne.exe %1 vldp -framefile E:\Daphne\framefile\%1.txt -fullscreen -useoverlaysb -x 800 -y 600
Exit

All Dragon's Lair related files and folders are named 'dle20', so they'll match up with the .nms file.

DL runs perfectly through DaphneLoader, so I'm thinking I have something wrong in my .bat file.  I'm not seeing the prob.  Maybe another set of eyes will help me out.

Thanks peeps!

try putting your mpegs in a folder above the framefile dir like e:\daphne\mpegs and make sure you change the path in the framefile to the new locale

maybe it doesnt like the dir named . also

just a guess...its definitely something silly cause my .bat is pretty much identical to yours

Boom!

Works like a charm now!  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  Here's the amended .bat:

start/wait E:\Daphne\daphne.exe %1 vldp -framefile E:\Daphne\mpeg\%1\%1.txt -fullscreen -x 800 -y 600
Exit

I used the framefile in the \mpeg folder and added another %1.   ;D
