Daphne opens the cmd window when starting a game through Launchbox/Big Box

[lepactedesloups]

Just like the title says, I have Daphne working through Launchbox/Big Box almost perfectly. The only issue I am having is that the bat file required for launch pops up in a Windows CMD window and "knocks" you out of the game. The game's running in the background, but the cmd window stays open until manually clicked, then you have to tab over to Daphne. I feel like I am one step away from getting this set. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What does your batch file look like?

[lepactedesloups]

Daphne.exe %1 vldp -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 -framefile "D:\Emulators\Daphne\vldp\%1\%1.txt"

The above path is the location I have the Daphne dir. The game launches great and everything, just getting the oldball popup of the CMD window.

Not for certain, but try this

start /b Daphne.exe %1 vldp -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 -framefile "D:\Emulators\Daphne\vldp\%1\%1.txt"

I will give it a try! Thanks

Interesting I have the same problem.  If I run the batch directly I do not get a stuck CMD box but if I run it through LB it sticks until I click.

daphne.exe dle21 vldp -framefile "F:\Emulation\Emulators\Daphne\Framefile\lair_HD.txt" -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir "F:\Emulation\Emulators\Daphne" -bank 0 11111000 -bank 1 00110111 -sound_buffer 2048 -fullscreen -x 1920 -y 1080  

Not sure why

[lepactedesloups]

For what it's worth, adding the "Start /b" at the beginning totally did the trick!

Thanks!

For what it's worth, future readers will appreciate your confirmation.  

Glad it's working now!

Worked perfect thanks for the help.  It didn't work for the Singe games though.

@daphne.exe singe vldp -fullscreen_window -framefile singe/timetraveler-v2/frame-timetraveler-dvd.txt -script singe/timetraveler-v2/dvd-timetraveler.singe

Any ideas for that batch?

[JoeViking245]

@Antny The "@" probably shouldn't be at the beginning.  Also your "-framefile" file should probably have the full path to it, and be in quotes.  Is the "-script" pointing to a file also?  And maybe flip the slashes around (not sure if that matters or not).

start /b daphne.exe singe vldp -fullscreen_window -framefile "F:\JoeWasHere\singe\timetraveler-v2\frame-timetraveler-dvd.txt" -script "F:\JoeWasHere\singe\timetraveler-v2\dvd-timetraveler.singe"

Hi!, I am having the same issues with my Dapne and Singe games as they all have this path! ("..\Daphne 4k.exe")
