[Daphne - easy way to add to LaunchBox]

got it working all thou an ugly way to do it. 

 

set it as a launcher Pointed to daphne.exe

and used the following application command line parameters:

roadblaster vldp -framefile C:\daphne-1.0v-win32\framefile\rb.txt -blend -ignore_aspect_ratio -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir . -fastboot -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 00000001 -nocrc -noissues -noserversend -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 1920 -y 1080

rename your road blaster.txt file to rb.txt and try it from LB.

if you run the game from daphne itself, there is an option (think it might be debug in the last tab for the game settings) to show you the command line before it runs, copy that command line that pops up and paste it in here.  

Do any of your Daphne games work with the batch file and LB? Maybe your paths are different somewhere. It sounds like this is just a path issue.

all the other games work.

the only thing that was different was the fact I had to change the name of road blaster in the bat file to rb

[Daphne - easy way to add to LaunchBox]

there is a road blaster.txt that contains the following

Road Blaster

However if I set Daphne to it it will not run. (outside the Bat file and directly from daphne)

rb.txt contains the following. 

.
1  rb.m2v

also C:\daphne-1.0v-win32\framefile\rb.txt is the file pat for Mpeg Framefile location and the same for the shortcut path in Launchbox

Also, make sure this game works ok outside of Launchbox without the batch file.

works 100% outside the batch file

Hi @Moandain

Sorry you're having trouble with Road Blaster.

I just tried road blaster and it works for me.

Do you have the batch file in the same folder as daphne.exe and is there a folder named framefile in there with a file named rb.txt?

 

Yes the bat is in the same location as the exe, There is a folder named framefile with rb.txt in it. 

if "%1"=="rb" set bank= -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 00000001& goto :start

is the line edited inside the bat file

So I can not get Road Blaster to work

 

It references rb.txt and I changed everything correctly, but this is the error log
