Badlands (Daphne) lag issue

[ronor]

I can run all Daphne games using RocketLauncher except Badlands. When I run Badlands, it gets incredibly laggy and freezes up after firing the gun. It's unplayable. 

 

When loading through DaphneLoader, it works fine.

 

I may have changed a parameter in RocketLauncher. I can't figure out which one is off, they all look correct.

 

Any ideas?

I answered you in the other topic.

I haven't played Badlands since I upgraded to RocketLauncher, I'll check it out and let your know.

OK so my Global_Module_Params are: vldp -blank_searches -noissues -fastboot

Screen Width set to: 1680

Screen Height: 1050

Pause on Exit: True

HWAccel: default

Here's the Badlands specific settings. I don't know if these are best, but it seems to work. Runs in the correct ratio on a 1080 16:9 monitor. Maybe Ron or someone else will chime in with their settings. I also just updated RocketLauncher and the Daphne Module is one that changed. Not sure what those changes are yet though. Although I have no idea how to play it. Is it just a shoot button or do you also use the joystick directions like Dragons Lair?

Hi,

DaphneLoader is just a launcher, like RocketLauncher.  If there is a difference between the way the two lauch the game, here is how to figure out the difference.

 

Open up DaphneLoader.

Select Badlands on the left and click the Configure button.

In the Configuration window, click the Advanced tab.

Change "Display command line" from Disabled to Enabled.

Hit the OK button.

Launch the game.

A command line window will appear before the game launches.  Copy this and save it somewhere.

Exit out of the game and DaphneLoader.

 

Launch RLUI.

Click Global on the top left.

The General Settings tab on top.

The RocketLauncher sub-tab just below it.

Be sure your Logging Level is set to Troubleshooting.

Select Daphne on the left.

Select the Games tab on top.

Audit the games and launch Badlands.

Exit the game.

In RLUI click the Log Viewer tab on top.

Hit the refresh button to "Reload Log Data".

In the Text field type: "run - " (don't type the quotes).

Find the line that says Run - Running....

Compair all the values between this line and the one you copied from DaphneLoader.  Or just post them both here. 

 

Once you find the  differences, turn off your Logging Level and try the game in RLUI again.  

 

Thanks,

Ron

Ok, here they are:

 

DaphneLoader:

daphne.exe badlands vldp -framefile framefile\badlands.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir "D:\Arcade\System roms\Daphne" -bank 0 00000000 -bank 1 10000001 -noserversend -sound_buffer 2048 -x 640 -y 480 

 

RLUI:

Run - Running: D:\Arcade\System roms\Daphne\daphne.exe badlands vldp -blank_searches -prefer_samples -fullscreen -noissues -opengl -fastboot -x 1024 -y 768  -opengl -fullscreen -x 1680 -y 1050 -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir . -bank 1 10000011 -sound_buffer 2048 -framefile "D:\Arcade\System roms\Daphne\framefile\badlands.txt"

Also, when I launch Badlands through DL, I get 5 lives/ coin. When launching through RL, I get 7 lives/ coin.

 

It's like I'm not editing the correct config files or there are two different instances of Daphne.

That didn't work
