Damo_T Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi All, I have recently built my Arcade machine and am using Big Box. I only have Mame emulator and some roms. I would like to add some more emulators and games and am particularly interested in getting Dragons Lair on it. I see there is a thread for recommended emulators so I will take a look at that but I was wondering where I can obtain ROMS for other emulators? I have also downloaded Daphne but see I need a DVD for Dragons Lair. I have looked on eBay but they seem to be quite highly priced so I was wondering if I have any other options? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundogak Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Daphne emulations needs both ROMS (how the game works), VLDP files (the actual video portion), and framefiles (text files that are basically index pointers for the video. Google search is your friend for Daphne VLDP. Also Internet Archive for Daphne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 If you only care about Dragons Lair and not the rest of the laser disc games then allow me to recommend the Dragons Lair Trilogy for the Wii, it has Dragons Lair 1 and 2 along with Space Ace all on a single disc. It is a much easier emulator to setup and the video quality of it is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get Dragons Lair working on Daphne but I cannot get any of the other games as when I click Start, it says it needs to download files but then I get an error .Torrent file could not be downloaded. My AV software and Windows Firewalls are all dissabled. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go down this route, do I need a Wii emulator which I can launch from Big Box and do I need to buy any game or DVD or can I access somewhere?

DeadVoivod Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Why don't do google for a Daphne set which contains everything? If you wanna know more about the emulation of Daphne, here's a good start: (Emuline) Plus you might find what you need.

Well yes you would need an emulator of course, you need an emulator for all the games that are not PC compatible. You can find the disc image with a little googling, the internet archive is a great place to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Btw, Singe 2 has been released. Edited November 10, 2020 by Retro808 Link removed - Emuline contains rom files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 @DeadVoivod I removed the link you posted. Since the Emuline site contains hosted roms we do not allow linking to sites with roms. You can mention the site, but not post an actual link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know that game but looks worth a try. My progress with this is slow. I used the Dolphin emulator to try the Wii Dragons Lair route but that would not work as it appears my graphics card does not support Open GL.

It says it is an Intel HD Graphics 2000. I can get DL to work on Daphne if necessary but can't get the other Daphne games to download then because of the .Torrent error.
