Cobra Command in Daphne Emulator

[Daytona24]

So I followed the instructions from eta Primes Daphne tutorial this weekend and everything is pretty much working great, even got Dragons Lair 1 & 2 and Space Ace running.  However one of my favorite games is Cobra Command.  When running through the Daphne emulator itself it works fine, no issues.  However using the tutorial setup when the game starts I get a message saying basically the games emulation is not working with a timer, when the timer ends the game starts but it doesn't start at the beginning city it starts in a frozen cave somewhere without having to put coins in or hit start.  Not sure what is going on.  Any help would be appreciated.

As a side note, using what I've learned from all the tutorials I was actually able to get the ActionMax game system up and running this weekend!

Hey Daytona24,

I had the same problem and I made a .bat file with this in it and it works fine now in Launchbox. Just set your paths for your system.

 

@echo off
cd data
cls
@start Z:\roms\Daphne\Daphne.exe cobraab vldp -framefile Z:\roms\Daphne\vldp\cobra\cobra.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir Z:\roms\Daphne -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 01000000 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480

I'm having some trouble with this can you briefly explain what your doing.

and is it all one long line after @start

There is a file called daphne_log.txt in the daphne folder. Open it clear it and save the file. Then in daphne run the game let it load and then exit. When you reopen the daphne_log.txt you will see the command line that should work for you.  Here is what my file looks like. The red line is where I get the command line from. (just make sure that all things are pointing to the right place.)  Create a corba.bat file and put that line in just like I listed above. Then in Launchbox edit cobra game and under Launcher application path point to the cobra.bat file. Under emulator uncheck the box where it says to Use an emulator. When you run the game it should run all the info from the corba.bat file.

--DAPHNE version 1.0.12
--Command line is: daphne.exe cobraab vldp -framefile D:\Daphne\vldp\cobra\cobra.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir Z:\roms\Daphne -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 01000000 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480

You my friend are the best! Thank you! That worked! Thank you so much.

I had a good understanding of it but was probably just copying Something wrong. Launchbox makes it so easy too with help!
