Daphne Roms Download
Antonio Hadfield
I found an issue while trying to import my Daphne roms using 1.6 beta 1. If I choose my daphne rom dir, launchbox will automatically choose daphne as the platform, but I don't see daphne on the list of platforms if I choose platform before the dir. Launchbox also doesn't import anything unless I point the directory to the zips of the roms and then it finds them, but crashes as it trys to import them after about 5 seconds.
I have 2 folders on my desktop: 1 for the Daphne files such as the Daphne.exe and another for the Daphne Roms for all the above games which are in zipped. I am not sure where in the Setup Wizard I am supposed to put the path for the roms.
It does. Thanks. I am about to use this to see if I can get a bit further. For your Daphne games options it gives a path with laserdisc in it. Do you keep your DVD in the drive in order to play each game? I thought all you needed was the roms on the pc and you didn't need the laserdisc to play the games through Gameex. I say this because if you noticed the last lines of my Dapphne_log posted above, it says:
Well, I used the Daphne_loader which pretty much put the roms onto my pc it seems. After it placed the roms on my pc, I can play each games without having my disc in the disc drive. I just start up daphne on my desktop and pick a game and it will run. The challenge if for me to get it going in Gameex though.
im using a separate storage (D Drive) to store all my large daphne files. i use my c drive as a location where i want daphne to look for my framefiles. you dont have to do it that way. I just do. the text in the framefile directs daphne and gameex to search in the d drive because thats where i have it set to.

DxWnd works beautifully with daphne, with software, opengl and sdl rendering all working and now runnning fullscreen windowed and no longer messing up the desktop with a hard fullscreen mode. Thanks Gho and team for an awesome little tool. The only config needed is as follows:
I just built daphne with the Experimental install. Raspberry PI 2, launching from Emulation Station, not just the command line.
Plays lair just fine where I had placed the files and ROMs originally.
Purchasing the mpeg2 licence key is not going to help, as the decoding is done in software and the licence key relates to the GPU assisted decoding which is not used by the mpeg2 library included in daphne.
Bash scripting is not my proudest skill, but I did a few dry runs with this controller config and it seemed to do the job right. Since daphne has no in-game interface for controllers, it also allows for input tweaking for those who might be inclined.
Controller mapping will be automatic soon, but meanwhile you can manually add the not-yet-official auto-mapping module (click!) /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/scripts/configscripts/daphne.sh
or you can just manually edit the file /opt/retropie/configs/daphne/dapinput.ini.
It works well on Raspberry Pi 2. Currently too slow on Raspberry Pi 1.
My Space Ace framefile lists the .m2v files in lower case. However, almost all of the video files themselves are named with upper case characters. Daphne would not parse the files because it could not find them (framefile references appear to be case-sensitive), so. . . inside the ace.daphne video file folder:
