[RESOLVED] Dragon's Lair Daphne - Blank screen save me!

[Fink]

Hi all, just having an issue getting Dragon's Lair to run in Gameex. It runs fine going through daphneloader. When I click play game it goes to a black screen and I can here daphnes voice say "Save me" I have to exit screen and I cant play it. One time I briefly saw a screenshot of Daphne the character with some error text in red, Too brief to read though! I have the following settings in Daphne area of Gameex.

Rom: lair

Options: daphne.exe lair vldp -framefile "C:/Emulators/Daphne/vldp_dl/lair/lair.txt" -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir C:\Emulators\Daphne -bank 0 11111001 -bank 1 00100111 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480

I copied that above command line from the advanced tab in daphne loader. Any help will be appreciated thanks.

Hey Fink, I'd suggest you check R-DUB's comments in this post, sounds like it may be similar.

Also, have you gave the Daphne section of the wiki a good read?

Thanks tthurman, I think what I was doing wrong was I had Daphneloader still loaded in the background. Once I rebooted the machine I at least got to hear the sound of the game but I had I still had a  blank screen. After changing the Daphne options line to match the resolution with the desktop resolution my pc was using I restarted and now I can see and hear and play Dragon's Lair. eg

• vldp -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 -nohwaccel was updated to vldp -fullscreen -x 1920 -y 1080 -nohwaccel

This is now resolved, hope it helps someone else with the same issue.
