Daphne Tips

[DarkMatter]

I'm going to post a bit of info for those trying to get the Daphne system to work.  I'll use Dragon's Lair as an example.

1.  First of all when you go into Daphne menu through Gameex and turn it on you will find the games listed under "Emulated Games" and it will be called "Laserdisc Games."

2.  The ROM path for Daphne is labeled as Snap/Video I believe under the Daphne menu.  Also make sure Daphne.exe is the executable, not the loader application.

3.  At the bottom select Dragon's Lair.  For the Framefile there is a place holder in quotes(something like G:\....).   Replace it, within the quotes, with your framefile location.  What is a framefile?  It is a .txt file.  My Dragon's Lair framefile is:  "EmulatorsGameex\Daphne\Roms\lair\lair.txt"   To be more specific when I open my framefile in Notepad there are 3 lines:  A dot(.), space, 151     lair.m2v.

4.  Trying to get the right ROM files.  You must add the 4 files dl_f2_u1.bin, etc. to the ROM folder/zip if they are not already there.  Pay close attention to what version they are as there is an "f" and there is an "f2," which is what you want.  If you start up the Daphne Loader program, select Dragon's Lair, then hit Configure and you will see the F2 as the default selected.

Hey! I just set up Dragon’s Lair on Daphne and found a few key things to make it work smoothly. When you’re in Gameex, check under “Emulated Games” for “Laserdisc Games.” Make sure to select Daphne.exe, not the loader, for the ROM path. Update the framefile path in quotes to your actual location (like "EmulatorsGameex\Daphne\Roms\lair\lair.txt") and ensure the framefile contains just . (space) 151 lair.m2v. Also, add the right ROM files (like dl_f2_u1.bin) to your ROM folder and confirm it’s the “f2” version. The link you posted is perfect for creating framefiles and more setup tips.
