time4akshun Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Running 5.24. Daphne worked sporadically in 5.19 for me. Now in 5.24 it won't launch at all. Using .NET Framework 1.1 and use the recommended framefile reference as below:vldp -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 -nohwaccel (Global Setting)-framefile c:\Daphne\mpeg2\ace.txt (Game Launch Example)Anyone have anything different? GameEx tries to launch the game but then freezes at a black screen and I need to ctrl-alt-del to pull up task manager to close Daphne manually.FYI, my mame roms are on E: USB drive along with Mame32, GameEx and Daphne + Roms runs on c: as referenced above.Thoughts?TIme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobross Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 It's (sort of) working here for me. Games load but my directional controls are dead. Strange becuase my 1p, 2p, Coin 1, coin2 and "button1" are working just fine. But games are loading for me on 5.24.What is the Daphne error log saying?

time4akshun Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Strange. First try to load Daphne through GameEx always hangs...CTrl, Alt, Del and Shut down Daphne manually. Now on relaunch through GameEx all games load fine. This has to be done once and all is well unless computer is rebooted.That's my fix for now. Again, games load on first try through Daphne loader. Second try with GameEx...Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like windows may not be initialising certain stuff in time. Are you using any special audio or video software or tray apps? Have you changed any windows services?
