holy ish. legit 2 hours to finally get daphne working. main thing is i had daphneloader.exe instead of daphne.exe and the options 1 command line was the worst. you have to figure out how your daphne emulator properly runs each game. you can get this by opening the loader, pick a game, configure, advanced, enable command line, apply, ok. then start that game and a pop up box will appear and tell you exactly how daphne runs each game. for me the options 1 box goes...-framfile "c:\desktop\daphne\vldp_dl\lair\lair.txt"...
" "vldp\ace\ace.txt".
