Here is my command line without scan lines

daphne.exe cliff vldp -framefile Z:\VideoGames\Games\Daphne\cliff\cliff.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir "Z:\Videogames\Emulators\Daphne (Customized)" -cheat -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 01000000
-bank 2 00000000 -bank 3 01111000 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480

 

here is my command line with scan lines

daphne.exe cliff vldp -framefile Z:\VideoGames\Games\Daphne\cliff\cliff.txt -scanlines -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir "Z:\Videogames\Emulators\Daphne (Customized)"

Hi all! Is there a way to set unlimited lives using this method? I check it off under the settings in Daphne but when I load the game via Launchbox (I used ETA Prime's tutorial to set things up) the games work but no unlimited lives.

Changing the settings in the Daphne Loader doesn't work because the batch commands are launching the Daphne.exe file directly, not through the loader.  The Daphne Loader is really just a small front end to a program that generates a custom launch command, you just don't see that it is really sending a command line to run things (unless you set otherwise).  Basically, that means any cheats have to be enabled via the command line that is launching the Daphne game from LB.  To enable cheats in some games like Dragon's Lair, you have to do it by the command line that changes the "bank" setting (or dip switches).  Sadly, it is somewhat confusing to implement via command line since you have to know which bank and bits to change.  There is an easy way and hard way.  First the hard way.  A list of dip switch settings for Daphne games are here.  Just to be more difficult, for the Dragon's Lair and Space Ace games the settings they will show as "Bank A" and Bank B" which correspond to Bank 0 and Bank 1, respectively in the command line and the number indicates a bit number starting with ZERO and from the RIGHT.   So if it says change B3 to "on", that means you have to change -bank 1 00000000 to -bank 1 00001000 

So for example, Dragon's Lair for most ROMs (dip switch settings can vary by ROM version) is for Unlimited Derk's by changing Bank 1, 2nd bit from 1 to 0.  So in my case (note your other dip switch settings may be different than mine depending on ROM revision you have):

-bank 0 11011001 -bank 1 00100011

For normal lives it is:

-bank 0 11011001 -bank 1 00100111

For Space Ace it is Bank 1, 5th bit from 0 to 1 (again, starts from right and and numbered 0 through 7)

-bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 00100001

Easier Way:  A bit easier way is to do the following.  Open up the Daphne Loader from outside Launch Box.  Go to the Configure Menu:

image.png.62330d1fc3330049927ab14baa7b2f9b.pngSelect the options you want such as "Unlimited Lives"  Hit Apply.

Go to the Advanced Tab and toggle the "Display Command Line" option to on.  Hit Apply. 

image.png.1a621d1d5ab9176066a83e7b2b3c9197.pngFrom outside Launchbox start a game within the Daphne Loader.  Before the game starts, you will see a pop up box with the command line that the Daphne Loader is using to launch the game. The "Bank" settings/dip switches (highlighted below) are now automatically set with whatever options you set in the Loader drop downs and you can copy/paste the bank portion of the command into your batch command that Launchbox uses. No worries about searching for the bit settings to change.  You should then have unlimited lives with that batch command and those bank/dip switch settings.  You can use this method to change any of the options such as difficulty level.  The key is that the "bank" settings are what is telling the Daphne.exe emulator via Launchbox what to do option wise.

Wow this post was incredibly helpful! Now I know what I'll be doing as soon as I have some free time. Thanks!

Long time user but this is a fresh install on a new PC of Daphne.  I have the vldp files from Pleasuredome prior to their removal from the site and I have the roms folder with all files needed from a previous archive.  The vldp_dl folder I was able to get working with no issues as I have the DVD's for DL, DL2, and ACE.  Those three games play great, no issues.

When I go to play the other games however I receive the below error.  Recreating the vldp.torrent file from the vldp files downloaded previously does not appear to correct this error as well.  It seems as if I am stuck and need some advice on how I can move beyond this error and play some of the lesser loved games in the laserdisc series, yet I love them all.

Error Message = ".torrent file could not be downloaded"

Thank you!

I am not clear why you are trying to re-download the files if you have the VLDPs and ROMs from PD as you mention in your post.  Ultimately, don't need the loader once have the files (framefile, vldp, rom, and batch to call daphne.exe) since can launch with batch command which is also what LB needs anyway.  If have the VLDP and ROMs than likely a framefile and path issue which can be fixed with no downloads (would need more info to help, like screen snaps of directory structure you have, particularly the VLDP locations).

If you don't have the VLDP files, then like Asparky said, the torrent feature in the Daphne loader no longer works so you have to acquire via other means.

I'm wondering if some of you Daphne wizards can help me out.

Here's my situation:

  • I have all games working in Launchbox except DL, DL2, SA, and Cobra Command.
  • I can run those four games in Daphne Loader without a problem.
  • When I use the command line generated from Daphne Loader and run that in Command Prompt in the Daphne emulator folder, it tells me it can't find the rom files.  Even though it runs through Daphne Loader fine.

Here's my command line:

daphne.exe lair2 vldp -framefile D:\ROMS\Daphne\lair2\lair2.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir D:\HyperSpin\Emulators\Daphne -sound_buffer 2048 -x 640 -y 480 

Here's my framefile (lair2.txt):

44427  dl2-44427.m2v 

My folder structure is like this:

  • Emulator:  D:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Daphne
  • Roms: D:\Roms\Daphne
  • Each rom has its own folder.
  • Each rom folder has all of the files extracted.  All of the files the framefile is looking for is in that folder.
  • Each rom folder has the framefile in it.
  • Each rom folder even has all of the rom files lair2.zip, lair2_319_span.zip etc

1. Why is the command line not working?  Even if I do the specific path to daphne (d:\hyperspin\emulators\daphne\daphne.exe) it tells me it can't find the rom and yells "feed me!"

2. Why is it just these games?

3. Would it be best to revert to the old daphne loader if I have all the media files?

4. Do I have to keep Daphne roms and media for these games in the traditional file places in the Daphne folder?

 

EDIT:  

I spent a billion hours on this and I think I figured it out.  For DL, DL2, SA I need to create a folder inside of the emulator directory called roms and then set one up for each of the games i.e. emulators/daphne/roms/lair and extracted the contents of the lair.zip rom into that folder.  everything else remained the same and it played.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!!

Aevans0001,

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for the delay, I had to go out of town for a short while...

 

OK so here is what I tried

 

and I got this error:

daphne.thumb.jpg.71c428db7c6b7e4d0efa1e68d0711e38.jpg

my original bat file:

Not exactly sure why it isn't working.  This original bat now won't even open the file or get an error...

 

Running through Daphne works fine.

 

I am sure this is a simple thing and my noob level is showing here...?

Did you ever get a solution for this?

Here is my command line without scan lines

daphne.exe cliff vldp -framefile Z:\VideoGames\Games\Daphne\cliff\cliff.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir "Z:\Videogames\Emulators\Daphne (Customized)" -cheat -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 01000000
-bank 2 00000000 -bank 3 01111000 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480

 

here is my command line with scan lines

daphne.exe cliff vldp -framefile Z:\VideoGames\Games\Daphne\cliff\cliff.txt -scanlines -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir "Z:\Videogames\Emulators\Daphne (Customized)"
-cheat -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 01000000 -bank 2 00000000 -bank 3 01111000 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480

 

 

Are your scanlines overly thick?  When I use the -scanlines option they are more like bars vs lines and makes it unpleasant.  When I use the Daphne loader the scanlines are much thinner and look as they should.  I am running same resolution as you in my config and even tried changing the desktop resolution to match but no luck.  

 

Thx for the help.

@rancid You might try the blend command in front of the scanlines option:

-blend -scanlines

Otherwise, I would go up to my post above and have Daphne display the command line it is using to launch from the loader and see what settings are different.  Then use that as the command to launch within LB.

Thanks for the console tip, I missed that earlier and created a new batch file for just Dragon's Lair and it fixed it.  All my other games work fine with my standard batch file, but for whatever reason Dragon's Lair would make the scanlines too thick.  Using your console trick fixed it right up!

Hello! I'm new with Daphne and I've done the EtaPrime's Tutorial for adding these games for Launchbox.

My "sentence" for the bat is simple: "Daphne.exe %1 vldp -fullscreen -x 1920 -y 1080 -framefile "..\..\Roms\Daphne\%1\%1.txt" 

But the game appears minimized and the focus is on the CMD window. I've tried to configure the shortcut from the .bat as the  emulator with the "start minimized" setting but nothing happens. Still CMD is on focus.

Edit: I have configured a .bat specifically for the Dragon's Lair game, and run it directly, it comes out full screen.
Launched from Launchbox, as before the CMD appears on focus and the game minimized.

Below is my log, and like I said this is only happening with Galaxy Ranger and Road Blaster through launch box. The rest of the games work 100% in Launchbox and Galaxy Ranger and Road Blaster works 100% in Daphne Loader (as well as the other games). How do I get those two to run in Launchbox?

 

--DAPHNE version 1.0.12
--Command line is: Daphne.exe galaxyr vldp -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 -framefile ..\..\Emulators\Daphne\vldp\galaxyr\galaxyr.txt 
--CPU : GenuineIntel 2000 MHz || Mem : 2048 megs
--OS : Windows NT Derivative || Video : Intel(R) HD Graphics
--OpenGL: Compiled In
--RGB2YUV Function: MMX
--Line Blending Function: MMX
--Audio Mixing Function: MMX
ERROR: Unknown game type specified : galaxyr
Bad command line or initialization problem (see daphne_log.txt for details). 
To run DAPHNE, you must specify which game to run and which laserdisc player you are using. 
For example, try 'daphne lair noldp' to run Dragon's Lair in testing mode.

Mine is the same as well as lair 2. I've done the ETA tutorial since it  was easier to follow vs other tutorials that you would have to make script files per game. That will be my next trial in desperate of getting ALL the Daphne games working on LB.
