About the company (Cinematronics):

Taken from the Cinematronics Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinematronics

 

Cinematronics Inc. was founded in 1975 by Jim Pearce, Dennis Parte and Gary Garrison in El Cajon, California, although early on Parte and Garrison sold their shares to Tom "Papa" Stroud. Cinematronics' first games, a Pong clone, a Flipper Ball copy and their first original game design, Embargo, were released in 1975, 1976, and 1977, were not particularly notable. The company really began to prosper after the Space Wars game came into production about a year later.

...

In 1983 Cinematronics released Dragon's Lair, one of the first laserdisc-based arcade games. In order to finish the project they partnered with Advanced Microcomputer Systems (later renamed RDI Video Systems), who later tried to sell a home version of the laser-disc machine. While RDI's home console, the Halcyon, was a failure, the Dragon's Lair arcade was a huge success. Cinematronics followed it up with the similar sci-fi-themed laserdisc game, Space Ace. In about 1983 some prototype animation material for a Dragon's Lair sequel was produced, but due to the lack of an agreement between Cinematronics and the animator, Don Bluth, this material sat unused for years, eventually becoming part of the Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp game in the 1990s.

About the company (RDI Video Systems):

Taken from the RDI WiKi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDI_Video_Systems

RDI Video Systems was a video game company founded by Rick Dyer originally as "Advanced Microcomputer Systems", and was well known for its Laserdisc video games, beginning with the immensely popular Dragon's Lair. The company went bankrupt shortly after releasing the Halcyon home video game system, which they claimed would be entirely voice-activated, and have an AI on par with HAL 9000 from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Some of theses games have been remastered by Digital Leisure.

Games produced by RDI:

Dragon's Lair

Space Ace

Thayer's Quest (Released first for the Halcyon, and later in arcades)

Raiders vs. Chargers (Released first for the Halcyon, and later in arcades as "NFL Football")

Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp

Orpheus, not released

The Spirits of Whittier Mansion, not released

The Shadow of the Stars, not released

Voyage to the New World, not released

Cobra Command

Dragon's Lair

Dragon's Lair II : Timewarp

Esh's Aurunmilla

Galaxy Ranger

Thayer's Quest

Us vs Them

Your hardware requirements:

At least a Pentium III 500 MHz machine or equivalent (These days, most people have something much better.)

Windows, Mac OSX, or x86/Linux (this covers almost everyone)

One of the following:

(Strongly Recommended) One or more Digital Leisure DVDs to make Daphne easier to use.

(Not Recommended, Expert only) ROM Image files and one of the following:

(Not Recommended, Expert only) Video, Audio, and Frame Files

(Not Recommended, Expert only) A real laserdisc and a real laserdisc player

Ok, Let's get started!

I will assume that you already have all of the appropriate media in which to install the emulator and the games onto your computer. The Daphne emulator consists of two programs, DaphneLoader and Daphne. Daphne is the actual emulator and DaphneLoader is a front end that uses Daphne and give you a nice GUI to make changes to the config. As just about every thread out there says, "Do not try to launch DaphneLoader through your HyperSpin or HyperLaunch setup." Daphne.exe is the actual emulator. That said, you do need DaphneLoader to get things setup and to configure game specific settings.

I would highly recommend you get the supported CD/DVD media for the supported games. If you have the media for these games, DaphneLoader will download and keep up-to-date the audio/video files directly from Digital Leisure.

Daphne dowload and setup:

Navigate to the Daphne home page: http://www.daphne-emu.com and download the latest version of Daphne (daphne-1.0v-win32.zip). Once it's downloaded create a new directory in your emulators directory. Mine is located at "C:\Emulation\Emulators|Daphne". Many other people use "C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\Daphne". Open the Zip file and extract all the contents into your ...Daphne directory.

The first time you run DaphneLoader it will update itself. Please click "OK".

Once the update is finished you will see this:

For this example I will install Dragon's Lair from the DVD-Video Version using DaphneLoader. Click on Dragon's Lair and click the "Start!" button. You will see the Warning dialog box explaining what disc's you need to play the game.

Insert the appropriate disk in your drive (or mount the disk image) and click the "OK" button. You will see the Video/Audio Files Needed dialog box. Click "OK".

DaphneLoader will now download the most up to date audio/video files and install them into your ...Daphne\vldp_dl\lair directory. This process will take a while (depending on your internet speeds), so go grab a cup of coffee... beer... or what ever your poison is and wait.

Once that process is complete, you will be asked to validate your media. Click "OK" and let the process run.

DaphneLoader will then start converting your files. Go refill your coffee... beer...

Once converted and validated, you will get another update screen. Click "OK"... again....

"Game is ready to begin." Click "OK" and hit a key to parse the video files:

Finally! The game will launch and you can play!!! Close out the game and continue on with installing the other games you want.

The download process will give you a framefile that is needed to play the game. I recommend copying the framefile to the ...Daphne\framefile directory. In this example it's called ...Daphne\vldp_dl\lair\lair.txt

Again, copy the framefile into the framefile directory for each game and name them like this (so they match the database in HyperList):

As everyone will first ask when replying to Daphne problems, "Make sure all the games are working in DaphneLoader first!".

If you have downloaded the games, make sure all the audio/video files, framefiles and rom files are included. The framefiles must match up to the audio/video files and you must have the matching roms also. The directory structure should be like this:

Framefiles: ...Daphne\framefile

Roms: ...Daphne\roms

Audio/Video in their own directories: ...Daphne\vldp_dl

My example:

Framefile: C:\Emulation\Emulators\Daphne\framefile\lair.txt

Roms: C:\Emulation\Emulators\Daphne\roms\dl_revf2.zip

Audio/Video: C:\Emulation\Emulators\Daphne\vldp_dl\lair

Now, to make changes in your per-game config:

Most people will not need to do this, but some may want some default changes to the way a game plays. With DaphneLoader open, select the game you want to make changes to. Click the "Configure" button. Make any appropriate changes you would like in any of the tabs except the Input tab. Make sure and Enable the Display command line option in the Advanced tab before you hit "OK".

Now, click the "Start!" button and the command like window will appear first:

Pay close attention to the two bank settings. Mine shows "-bank 0 11111001 -bank 1 00100111". Write these down or save them somewhere for use in HyperLaunchHQ. Click the "Cancel" button and make any changes to the other games you have installed. Record those bank settings for each game as well.

The last thing we need to do before we start the HyperSpin setup, is to make a minor change to the framefiles.

Open each framefile in your favorite text editor and put the full path to the audio/video directory. Example:

Original:

.

151 lair.m2v

Modified:

C:\Emulation\emulators\Daphne\vldp_dl\lair\


151 lair.m2v

Save the modified file and test it again. Go back to DaphneLoader and Start the game again. Make double sure it still runs.

All the other games, or if you have the A/V files and framefiles:

For the games that do not require CD/DVD media, or if you have downloaded all the Audio/Video files and framefiles from a different source, here is how to set them up in DaphneLoader.

For this example I will use GP World. Select GP World in the list and click the "Configure" button on the right. In the Game/Laserdisc tab, click on "Configure Laserdisc":

Under the Virtual Laserdisc Player Options, change it from "Yes..." to "No, I will install...". This will give you an additional option to browse to your framefile. Click the "Browse" button and navigate to your ...Daphne\framefile\gpworld.txt framefile and click "Open":

Hit the "OK" button and hit "OK" again on the Configuration window. Click on "Start!" to test the game. Let it parse the video and that game should be done.

Do this for the rest of the games you have available.

We are ready to bring up HyperHq!

Daphne and HyperHQ config.

Launch HyperHQ and add your Daphne wheel. Once the wheel is added, click on Wheel Settings and choose Daphne in the wheel drop down. Make your changes like this:

Now close out HyperHQ and open up HyperLaunchHQ. You will have to setup your Global emulator for Daphne. Select GLOBAL on the left. Make sure the Emulators tab is selected and scroll down to Daphne (not Daphne Singe, see the top of this post for a Singe link) and double click on it. Set your Path to the daphne.exe as seen below:

Close that window and click on the emulator Daphne on the left. Make sure the Emulators tab is selected and set your Rom Paths to your ...Daphne\framefile directory. Set your Default Emulator to Daphne as seen below:

Now, click on the Games tab and hit the blue "Audit All the games..." button and your installed games should show up in green. Go ahead and select lair and click the "Launch..." button to test:

All your games that run in Daphne should now be setup in HyperSpin and HyperLaunchHQ!!!

There are two game names that do not match between the RL Daphne.ini settings file and the HyperList xml file.

Cobra Command and Road Blaster. If your Audit list shows cobra and rb in red, the easiest way is to fix the game names (hopefully this will be updated sometime) in your ...HyperLaunch\Modules\Daphne\Daphne.ini file.

Find the file in your HyperLaunch instillation and edit it in your favorite editor. Scroll down and find the game setting tag called [cobra]. In the HyperList xml file it's called cobraab. I copied the entire [cobra] section and pasted it below. Changed [cobra] to [cobraab] and did the same for [rb] to [roadblaster]:

Save the file and I then re-ran the audit and all the games show green! "Super Green!"

One last thing. Your per game settings!

While you still have HyperLaunchHQ open, click on the Emulators tab. Click on the "Edit Global Module Settings":

Click on the "Rom Settings" tab. Scroll down and select lair. At the bottom of this screen you will see two boxes: bank0 and bank1. Look back at your command line notes for lair and make them match:

Close that window. Close out HyperLaunchHQ and bring up HyperSpin.

Enjoy!!!

<EDIT>

Djvj has edited the Daphne.ahk module for RL to allow for per game control changes. Please see this thread:

</EDIT>

Any comments and corrections will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

hey ron man I apologize,it's just i'm tired of messing with this for so long and coming up with nothing. yea you were right the archives are empty, I have to games space ace and dragons lair thy both work out of hyperspin. so maybe if get thoses missing files it will work?

[dc240969]

I have all the Daphne games on my system. I can select them and run them, however l cant insert coin and then start. I can from a keyboard. I have an xbox controller, and cabinet setup button layout etc. I have tried to change the controls in Daphneloader, they save, but when l try to run in HS l can only select and run in cabinet, xbox controller wont respond. which other settings are called into play when HS loads an emulator that would need corrected.

[clintc]

Rfancella, I have Daphne working with no problems, but I'm trying to figure out what rom version I need or what settings to make dragons lair one beep when I need to do a move. Or is it not supposed to beep. And do you know why on dragons lair 2 why it gives intructions for left and right and written on the screen. I was in first grade at showbiz pizza the last time I played the real machines.

[rfancella]

Josh,

Very cool. Glad it's working. To fix your DaphneLoader problem:

1). Select the game in DaphneLoader and hit the Configure button on the right.

2). On the Game/Laserdisc tab, click the Configure Laserdisc button.

3). Make sure the drop down under Virtual Laserdisc Player Options says "No, I will install any missing video/audio files manually."

4). Click the Browse button below MPED Framefile Location.

5). Browse to the new framefile.

Or instead of step 4 & 5 you can just type in the box under MPEG Framefile Location:

framefile\ace.txt

As for your IPac, the easiest thing to do is to use the built in ahk Keymapper function to map your buttons to the default of Daphne.

The other way to go is to use the new Daphne controls ini option in the module. The module notes are here with the part of interest bold:

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Notes:
; Executable should be Daphne.exe NOT Daphneloader.exe
; You need the module's ini from GIT, remove the (Example) from the filename. It has settings for each game so they work properly.
[b]; If you want to define custom controls for each game, follow this process:
; 1) Manually run DaphneLoader.exe
; 2) Select each game you want to configure and click the Configure button. Select the Input tab and define your controls and hit OK and repeat for each game.
; 3) Create a folder in your emu directory called "controls" and copy your current dapinput.ini into it. This will be your default controls used for all games that a custom one was not created.
; 4) Launch each game you defined controls for through DaphneLoader. DaphneLoader will set your custom controls in the dapinput.ini. Now exit the game.
; 5) After each game you launch, copy the dapinput.ini into the controls folder and name it after the rom name you use in your xml: Example: lair.ini[/b]
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, make sure that you have renamed your Daphne (Example).ini as Daphne.ini so your per-game configs are there.

Thanks,

Ron

sry again dude dang it I Had to step out but i'am back for the rest of the night it's 820pm here ny. ok so that is basically everything that is in the DLDVDROM folder, every files name. kinda new to this page how do ya except friends request?

Not a problem at all.

So, there are two ways to make it work. The easy way and the right way.

We'll start with the right way.

1). Make a new folder like this:

D:\HYPERSPIN-TEST\Emulators\Daphne\vldp_dl

2). Rename the folder DLDVDROM to lair

3). Move the folder lair inside the new vldp_dl folder so it's like this:

D:\HYPERSPIN-TEST\Emulators\Daphne\vldp_dl\lair

Inside this folder should be all your m2v and oog files

4). Rename your framefile from dl_dvdrom.txt to lair.txt

5). Make the first line of your framefile:

..\vldp_dl\lair\

That's it. It should work in HyperLaunchHQ now.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Ron

We are getting somewhere now....

Please post your framefile in code tags. And what is the path to your m2v and oog files?

It looks like the first line of your framefile is not right. Framefile errors are the most common problem with Daphne.

there are only 3 files in the lair folder = lair.m2v.bf , lair.ogg.bf , and the lair file.

I downloaded the video files all in one rar it also came with a dl_dvdrom txt to be placed in the framefile folder. so in the daphne config= MPEG framefile location is as follow: D:\HYPERSPIN-TEST\Emulators\Daphne\framefile\dl_dvdrom.txt

[rfancella]

Josh,

Also, the paths don't really matter. They could be different for everyone. So long as the first line in your txt framefile points to your .m2v and .oog files.

Thanks,

Ron

Josh,

Are your roms (not games) in D:\HYPERSPIN-TEST\Emulators\Daphne\roms ??

Is there an ace.zip? And does it have the following content?

The tutorial was very helpful thank you very much, but I got an err from Daphne? i think it's because the text file that's in the framefile folder is a "dl_dvdrom txt file that's all that is in there well I have two the other one is for spaceace which reads=ace_dvdrom i well start over and use the dvdrom files instead hope this well work as it does out of hyperspin ?

[rfancella]

And thanks to 32assassin also!

[sllimc]

Easier way.

Open HyperLaunchHQ.

Go to global on the left.

Click on the Emulators tab.

Find Daphne and select.

Hit the button that says "Edit Global Module Settings"

In the box for Global Settings, remove -opengl so it says:

vldp -blank_searches -prefer_samples -fullscreen -noissues -fastboot -x 1024 -y 768

Instead of:

vldp -blank_searches -prefer_samples -fullscreen -noissues -opengl -fastboot -x 1024 -y 768

Thanks,

Ron

[32assassin]

you are getting an Open GL error because your video card probably dos not support that video driver.

this worked in Hyperlaunch 2 see if it works in RocketLauncher

1. go to HyperSpin\Hyperlaunch\Modules\Daphne\

2. Open Daphne.ini

3. at the top you will see this

[settings]
globalParams = vldp -blank_searches -prefer_samples -fullscreen -noissues -opengl -fastboot -x 1024 -y 768
pauseOnExit = false

4. remove -opengl, so that the top looks like this

[settings]
globalParams = vldp -blank_searches -prefer_samples -fullscreen -noissues -fastboot -x 1024 -y 768
pauseOnExit = false

I had the same error in Hyperlaunch 2, I did not have to modify the Daphne.ini when I upgraded to RL.

[rfancella]

Are you using HyperLaunch3 or an older version??

It probably works in DaphneLoader because it uses those settings. Through HyperLaunch, it uses the settings in HyperLaunch. So any setting you use in DaphneLoader are not applied in HL. The older HL settings do not set this at all, where RL uses -opengl as a global parameter. Try setting it to OpenGL in DaphneLoader and see if it errors??

You can probably just make a small ini file change...

Thanks,

Ron

Does it error if you run Space Ace throught RL??

I ask because in the Daphne.ini, in the HL modules folder for Daphne, it is the only one that specifies YUV in the file. Also, launch a game and when you get the error, post the daphne_log.txt
