If you can do American Laser then Daphne is just exactly the same. You shouldn't have any problems (fingers firmly crossed!) 🙂

You need to get them working from the Daphne launcher first. Then check the Daphne-log.txt to see what files the software is looking for. From there you'll have a better understanding of which (if any) files are in the wrong place.

Hope that helps 🙂

I hope someone is still reading this 2 years later....yikes!  I recently obtained a bunch of these laser games and they seem to be setup a little differently...maybe?  Mine all have their own exe files and they just launch without needing daphne or singe.  I added the exe to my LB and it starts to load the game but then just stops and goes back to the menu....any thoughts/help would be hugely appreciated.

I have never seen any of these types of games as "stand alone" executable.  They are roms with mixture of emulator executable like other emulation systems.  In case of laser games it also means a video file has to be present which is copy of the actual laser disk. My guess, if you are saying it works outside LB, is it is some zipped up version with VLPD, roms, and emulator with batch file in auto-extracted zip file.  If you take winzip or 7-zip open the zip application and then see if you can open the executable from within the zip application. If you see files inside then just an auto-unzip file.  If not, something oddball that I have never seen and would be a bit suspicious of this type of executable tbh unless confident of source.
