So I see youtube videos of people running daphne and Dragon's Lair in 16x9 widescreen. I have a widescreen cabinet but i can only seem to get it to run in 4x3. Is there any way to change it in  rocketlauncher or anywhere else so i can get it to fill my widescreen monitor? Any help would would be nice! heres a video of it on youtube running in fullscreen and this is how i want to do it but i can't seem to figure it out.

He's only showing Dragon's lair. There are remastered versions of some games in 720P wide-screen but the originals are 4:3.

So i would have to find the remastered 720P wide-screen discs for daphne loader correct?

I know someone created remastered versions, which they wouldn't have done if the Daphne loader could do it. You'll have to source those files, sadly I can't help you with that. 

There are remastered versions of some games on the Steam store but obviously that's different.

Ok thanks for your help!

No worries. There's is a Daphne core for retroarch, I've only just recently got that working again on my Shield TV.

I'll see if it will force wide-screen but the image would be stretched. The singe Daphne games don't work with the core though.

Will the Daphne Retroarch core work with windows?

Honestly I haven't tried it on PC. Currently it's the only way to play the games on Android devices. The official core we can download on Android is broken, I'm back to using an alpha test core. 

In RA with the core installed "Load content" and choose a zip from your daphne/Roms folder. If it doesn't work maybe that core is still being worked on too.

I setup my Daphne and singe stuff a loooong time ago, just checked on the PC. The games run fullscreen on a 1080P monitor, even though the videos are 4:3

The games can be loaded from .bat files, this allows stating command line options for the daphne.exe.

daphne <game type> <laserdisc player type> <options>

So if I use cobra command as an example the .bat file has contained within it....

daphne.exe cobraab vldp  -framefile vldp/cobra/cobra.txt -fullscreen

I'll give a link to the Daphne cmdline wiki (http://www.daphne-emu.com/mediawiki/index.php/CmdLine) which has all the info. I'll look further into my setup when I have more time and report back on loading them from Rocket  launcher

Open RocketlauncherUI. Choose Daphne on the left hand pane and select the modules tab on the right, highlighting the Daphne.ahk. Click the edit global modules settings icon (fifth icon along from the two green arrows).

Set fullscreen to true
set keepaspect to false

Thanks! that worked all my daphne games are in widescreen now. I just now have to figure out how to setup daphne singe in rocketlauncher for timetraveler, timegal, and ninja hyatate.

We do have a "Like button" (the little mushroom) for giving thanks ;)

Daphne singe is a different emulator although still called daphne.exe, just to confuse people. I did go the .bat method with that, which is what confused me earlier...that's the trouble when trying to do stuff from memory.

Singe does do the American Laser (gun) games too. There is some exciting development with light guns if you look into Sinden light guns. All the best with your setup :)
