Daphne emulator

[DanP]

Has anyone ever got this working? Is it worth the effort, are the games emulated well/play close to the originals? I've looked at it from time to time but never really managed to get it running. Thought it might be a nice addition to my MAME cab setup but don't want to waste my time if it's not worth it.

Cheers,

Dan

I think Daphne is really good, and well worth the effort.

Yeah it's good, if you like the laser stuff.

It's not that hard to set it up either. You probably already know about the daphne-emu forum for any help:

Don't use the latest version, it's practically advert'ware , get .99

Lets be right though, the games are a bit sh*t, but put em on a cab and they somehow come alive

Interesting, I've never got that working. Im gonna go and have a long play now. Love laser games.

It's fairly simple to set up, but loves to throw up errors, normally because even though you have an option set right, you never adjusted it (if that sounds right).

Cheers guys. I persevered and finally got it running on my PC (D Lair and Space Ace). It's kinda kewl and just as hard as I remember. Might try and get them onto the PC in a cab next

OT, but I was having trouble embedding a vid the other day too, thought it was just me.
I spent ages getting this up n running and integrating it into hyperspin. Got it working, next time I fired it up it didnt work, havent been arsed to fix it yet. Its on the "to do list"!

I think it might have something to do with the Flash Plugin on your box. It seems some browsers block the Flash plugin if they detect it's out of date (Chrome and Safari for example). Will do a bit more investigation...

OK, I think I found it. Zed had the [ tube ] [ / tube ] tags inserted with a full url. I changed to just have the youtube short video name and it displays fine from here in OSX Chrome/Safari and Windows IE from work. Example below (you would need to remove the spaces between brackets and tags to get this to work);

Back OT, I *finally* after a lot of jiggery pokery managed to find a setup that will play all the games I want on my MAME cab PC. For posterity I found any version 1.0.x didn't work so well (I got a green screen of death), I finally found that 0.99.7 worked perfectly with all the games I wanted to play. I have to say I'm glad I stuck with it after the words of encouragement here, I really quite enjoy Dragons Lair, it's just as hard and annoying as I remember back in the day

Cheers,

Dan
