Brian Hoffman Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Brian. Thanks so much for helping me with Daphne . I literally printed out what you said and highlighted everything. I feel like i could teach a class on it now hah.. I wasn't fully aware that the command line was being created as i filled in blanks with the different games. The problem with Dragon's Lair 2 was that when i updated my framefile location it wasn't showing me my changes when the command line appeared before the game launch. Once I realized exactly what I was supposed to do, I finally noticed and was able to make the corrections manually. Daphne is finally under control!I glad you got it going... Thanks for the responce I was courious how it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vguzz Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 once again I'm having yet another Daphne problem just when I thought i had it all figured out...Currently with your help Brian, I have 3 games up and running successfully. they areDragon's LairGame Options: -framefile "M:\DAPHNE\framefile.txt" -fullscreen -useoverlaysb 1 -bank 0 11011000 -bank 1 01110011Cobra Command:Game Options: -framefile "M:\DAPHNE\Cobra Command\Cobra Command.txt" -fullscreen -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 00001100Dragon's Lair 2Game Options: -framefile "M:\DAPHNE\Dragon's Lair 2 - Time Warp\_untested_Dragon's Lair 2 - Time Warp.txt"Using what you have taught me I tried to add the game "Esh's Aurunmilla"Rom: eshGame Options: -framefile "M:\DAPHNE\Esh's Aurunmilla\Esh's Aurunmilla.txt" -fullscreen -cheat -nohwaccel -sound_buffer 2048Now once I added that game everything went haywire again.. I am using its own folder to get its framefile like you told me.. Now I'm going to kind of answer my own question here and say the problem is that Dragon's lair is grabbing its framefile from the general folder for framefiles on my M: Drive. Now everytime I relocate the Dragon's Lair framefile file to the Dragon's Lair specific folder, the game will not run even when i tell it to grab the file from there. I feel as though there is something to these framefiles that I have yet to understand. I really want to figure this Daphne thing out and get my entire library available for it. Another thing that has been catching my attention is that often times when i make changes in the daphne loader for specific games. the program doesnt seem to remember them and launches some default command line. The Dragon's Liar game option line i posted is a perfect exampleI actually have several framefiles for dragon's lairthey read as follows"dl_framefile.txt" and when opened it reads D:\Emulators\Daphne\Dlair151 lair24.m2vanother is..."dragon's lair.txt and when opened it reads.\151 lair.m2vonce again daphne has kicked my !#$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
