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.

Alley Master (1988)

Armor Attack (1980)

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

The Emulator:

Taken from the Daphne Emulator WiKi: https://www.daphne-emu.com:9443/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

Daphne lets you play Dragon's Lair and other laserdisc arcade games, just like you remember them from the arcade!

Daphne will allow you to play the following games:

Astron Belt

Badlands

Bega's Battle

Cliff Hanger

Cobra Command

Dragon's Lair

Dragon's Lair II : Timewarp

Esh's Aurunmilla

Galaxy Ranger

GP World

Interstellar

M.A.C.H. 3

Road Blaster

Space Ace

Star Blazer

Super Don Quix-ote

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,

Ron, I have a functional question. I think it's because of a frame file.. Dragonslair doesn't open with the bridge scene, and when I die, instead of having too redo the scene I get a different scene. I have this with Dragons lair, dragons lair 2, space ace and Thayer's quest..

Hi!

That has to do with the rom version you are using. I did a post back on page 3 of this guide that explains the rom versions:

http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?29410-Complete-Guide-for-Daphne-in-HyperSpin-and-RL&p=293849&viewfull=1#post293849

The roms are selected in HLHQ in the Modules section. Select the Daphne module and hit "Edit Global Module Settings".

Then on the Rom Settings tab, select the game and there is a version dropdown. Change the rom there.

Thanks,

Ron

hyper launch will not let me select a default emulator when im at that point in the first part of the doc.

[rfancella]

Jeremy is right.

Be sure you have Daphne setup in GLOBAL under the Emulators tab.

Once enabled as a GLOBAL emulator, you should be able to select it.

Thanks,

How do set your controls in daphne? using Daphne Launcher it wont recognize my controller dpad or analog stick, I made an xpadder profile but for some reason all of the buttons are swapped around, have no idea why that is.

Not sure myself. I don't use XPadder, so I am not sure how to do it.

Maybe, load the xpadder profile before you launch DaphneLoader and set your controls then??

Thanks,

Ron

[jedfactor]

the problem is when playing the game through hyperspin, I haven't tried it with Daphne launcher, would the controls be different seeing as hyperspin runs through daphne and not the launcher?

how do you usually set your controls for daphne then?

Thanks

You should only launch Daphne.exe through HyperSpin for sure. But you need to use DaphneLoader.exe to set the controls. It will create the file that Daphne uses for controls.

Launch DaphneLoader.exe and select the game you want to adjust.

Once selected, hit the [Configure] button. In that window is an Input tab. Set your controls there.

Thanks,

Really? I've yet to tackle the Hyperlaunch part of this setup since I'm stuck trying to get a right disc for Space Ace! I've tried 4 different versions (mounted iso) and none of them work. The first attempt was a Space Ace HD version, which of course isn't supported. Then I located Dragons Lair 1 and 2 along with another different copy of Space Ace. DL 1 and 2 worked beautifully (again, iso mounted style) but Space Ace isn't recognized by Daphne. Any ideas guys? The newest version of Space Ace that I have plays fine as a DVD and is even a 'Digital Leisure' branded disc. You'd think it would work just fine :/

[scoodidabop]

Update: setup for DL 1 & 2 in hyperspin was a breeze when using the guide here. Even found that setting up dle_21 version 2.1 (the FAR superior version of course!) was relatively painless with a few simple renames and such.

And now that pesky stinkin Space Ace disc! Again, my Daphne hates every version of the disc that I've mounted. No clue why. Any ideas fellas?

EDIT: u/rfancella found a really elegant solution for me. Thanks man!

I have the DVD Player of both Space Ace and the two Dragons Lairs. That is what I used to convert all three. The others I can dig out and let you know what versions I have if you would like.

[baxtr]

First off, Thank you so much for this...couldn't have gotten as far as I did without it. Now onto my error....Daphneloader will play all my games that I have loaded, but when I go into HLHQ or HS....Launching any Daphne game threw me an error.

Anyway, Space Ace for instance, I get a black screen with a picture of Daphne in the corner saying "Daphne got an error " the error read

Rom sa_a3.bin couldn't be fou________________________

Read Daphne_______________________________________

Well, when trying to open the Ace.zip file to see if sa_a3 was in there I got the "this file is in use by some other program" Voila!!! Daphneloader was still resident and had it opened just as SPAWK said HERE

So thank you to Spawk as well! running smooth now

Thank you for the tutorial Ron, 

I having the exactly same error as baxtr mentioned above.

Can you please guide me where is the problem? thanks

Nice to see this thread pop up. Daphne is the next I'll be setting up and I'm sure this will help.
