NJDave71 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Was Mad Dog added to Daphne or was that part of American Laser CD ROM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all my ALG games came with .exe extension files, I just put them in the same platform folder as my Daphne games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDave71 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Back in the day games were included with Daphne. Is Mad Dog downloadable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDave71 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Daphne was free and came with 12 or so games that were part of abandonware. Then support was added for American Laser games that could be purchased. The only games I was looking to add was Mad Dog and Time Travelor. But it turned out they were not the original from the arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aevans0001 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'm not sure of any of that. Die to mad dog being a gun game, i haven't tried yet, don't know if my version uggs arcade or not. Do you remember what the difference is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDave71 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Arcade used a gun and real footage. Their was no pixelation. Had a storyline smooth transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Here is my updated guide on setting up Daphne to work in Launchbox to reflect the changes made on importing Windows games. It may not be an elegant solution but it is simple and it works as long as you have your games loading through the DaphneLoader.exe. Step 1) Make a batch file for each game, call the batch file whatever you like. I made these batch files right in the directory which contains the daphne.exe Step 2) This step will be repeated for each game. Open your DaphneLoader.exe and for each game you have and want to import into Launchbox click the Configure button and go to the Advanced tab. The bottom drop down menu "Display command line", set this to Enabled, click apply and ok. Now when you start that game it is going to popup with a bunch of text, select it all and copy. The game will launch but just exit back out. Step 3) Open the batch file you created for the game in notepad you just copied the command line information from and paste it in and save. Step 4) Drag the bat file into Launchbox and put into whatever platform you choose. I use the platform Daphne. When the importer asks "What type of file this is ?" Choose "None of the above". Now you can go back into each game and reverse Step 2 to disable "Display command line" When you launch a game from Launchbox if you get an error message repeat Step 5 just to double check it.

Richie Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hi. I've got Daphne up and running with all the games and Singe which is fantastic. Everything works through Launchbox perfectly and I'm using xpadder for my xbox 360 controllers no problem. However, when I try to start Dragon's Lair through BigBox I get no sound. When I exit I also have no sound on BigBox where I had sound before and none of my other games have sound until I restart. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm not familiar with this emulator, but it sounds like that specific game is changing your audio device in windows, hence why no audio when you quit. Are there options in the emulator to specify the sound device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDave71 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I recall audio issues about 10 years ago and they are specific to the emulator. Sometimes when exiting games the audio driver crashes and logging out or reboot is the only resolution. Check the Daphne forums. Nothing to do with launchbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks for the super quick replies, I will do some more checking. The games work fine in Launchbox, it is just BigBox I'm having issues with the sound on this emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now, I rarely use Big Box, but I just went in and played a round of Dragon's Lair and for me I had sound all the way through. I know this isn't any help, other than letting you know it does work and does run correctly. What I can tell you is the folks here in the forum are amazing at helping to figure out your problems you may be having. I had a heck of a time getting Daphne and Singe up and running, but they patiently worked with me until I was able to get it up and running.

Richie Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi. Got this working! Turns out, for my machine anyway, if you play a game in full screen under a different resolution from native it throws the sound out. In my batch file I had to set resolution to 1920 x 1080 and the sound started working! Hope this helps someone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything works fine in Daphne but i can not start the games with launchbox. Hi guys, was there ever an answer to this question that ETAPRIME asked? I have everything set up perfectly, and all my games work fine in Launchbox except for road blaster and galaxy ranger which gives me the above message. They both work fine in the Daphne loader, would anyone know why just these two are giving me problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadMan007 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I've had several issues with several games in Daphne over the years which I was never able to figure out how to fix. Now that there is a Daphne core in RetroArch, does anyone have a quick setup guide for that? I have all the games setup to work with normal Daphne, but not the RA core.

Lilypad Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 My question too! I just got a couple of C64 games going with Retroarch for a friend and thought it could/would make Daphne much simpler. I plan on giving it a shot very soon - so if no one has it - I hope to do it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
