[RESOLVED] Daphne

[jyturbo]

I have tried to find an answer for this on my own but no luck so I would really appreciate some expert help. I am trying to setup Daphne in Gameex and am starting with Dragon's Lair. Runs fine in Daphne Loader but when I run in Gameex an error window pops up and saya: "Unknown Argument: 600". I have adjusted setting several times but cannot pinpoint this problem. i may have accidentally changed Daphne options (not game 1 options) so maybe that needs to be reset to default but when i click the defalut button in Gameex Wizard, nothing changes. I have attached my Daphne Log and my GameEx config. If someone could please tell me what to put in my setup wizard I'm sure i can figure other games out from there.

Daphne Log:

Are you using the same exact command line in GameEx that's generated by Daphne Loader?

• Run Daphne Loader
  
• Select Game
  
• Click on Configure Button
  
• Click on Advanced tab
  
• Enable Display command line
  
• Click Apply button and then OK button
  
• Start game
  

Now when you start a command-line will show in the window and you can copy that information into GameEx.

I had tried that already but it did not work. i will try again though. just to be clear, do I copy that info to Daphne options or Game 1 options? In my above config my Daphne Log exactly matches what is in the GameEx config for Game 1 options. I am totally guessing here but my problem may be in my Daphne options???

You copy the command line to where you have that game setup.for instance if dragon lair is game 1,then in game 1 options you out that CL

here is a pic of what i am saying

Nope. Still the same Fatal Error window pops up saying Unknown Argument: 600. Copied and pasted like previous members said but it still will not work within GameEx. In Daphne Loader, it runs great. Just not GameEx. I completely deleted everything from the Daphne Options command line within Gameex setup. Now this line is blank. does this matter? Please help! This is driving me nuts!!

Updated GameEx Config: And the Game1options were cut and pasted directly from command line option in daphne loader

Strip out daphne.exe lair from the GameOptions. Should be:

vldp -framefile "C:\Emulators\Daphne\Dragon's Lair\lairtxt.txt" -ignore_aspect_ratio -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir C:\Emulators\Daphne -fastboot -bank 0 11011001 -bank 1 00100111 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 800 -y 600

The daphne exe is declared in Daphne EXE setting and lair is declared in the ROM setting.

are your m2v,ogg and text framefiles all in the same folder? daphne is kind of picky with stuff like that

[jyturbo]

UGGGHHHHHH!!!! Still getting that same stupid Unknown Argument error. Removed the Daphne.exe lair like Frequency said but no luck yet. And yes my M2v and ogg files are in same folder as framefile.

Can meet me in Chat for real-time support if interested. Link can be found on top of the forums. If not then please post the contents of your daphne_log.txt file.

Problem was that user was using DaphneLoader.exe as the exe instead of Dapne.exe. I didn't catch until now.
