Although it's easy to recreate the framefiles with the provided tool or even intuitively, I noticed.It's actually a rather clever move INMHO. They can't be bothered to buy every LD game DVD they want to play since they only used the resources for their personal use (e.g not for having the game rips included in arcade cabinets players and similar).
#Daphne laserdisc game emulator series#
I am not implying the 0.99.7 series won't work at all, especially since there are numerous MPEG rips available for Digital Leisure instant classics, but as would say nvidia, it's not anymore the way it's meant to be played.įor example, the widely available rip of Thayer's Quest, which is considered by many the best DL inspired LD game (ranks inferior to DLII & Space Ace, but close second), with its intriguing 1 key = 1 action control panel instead of stick + buttons, won't work in Daphne v1 at all, and may work, albeit with great difficulties in older unsupported Daphne versions.Īpparently, Daphne author was fed up with the numerous error reports due to bad rips floating around, so he decided to use the torrent technology to make his exclusive high quality & functional ones (doesn't impact how well the game is supported in Daphne, you will have to refer to the what's new section of Daphne website & to Daphne service messages from title screens for that) available. They also propose newer "Daphne approved" MPEG downloads (which won't load in 0.99.7 Daphne versions, don't waste your time on that). They still propose the old files, even though after having done some testing, I wouldn't recommend that method. In fact, the 2 Big Torrent Sites have accompanied this policy : Playing the game with an actual LVD player connected to your machineĭisabling playing for this game (ah, I'll post a screen capture eventually)ĭaphne v1 makes the old method of downloading MPEGs completely obsolete (moar on that later) and rightly so. Under the game options, you only have two other choices left :
(they have reinforced their partnershit with Digital Leisures).Īlso, distracting you from downloading the illegal unencrypted. The general idea is to have you shop for some of the DVDs containing games you badly want to play Did anyone took notice of the drastic changes in the way Laser Disc emulation was handled these last weeks ?Īfter a 7-day period Daphne v1 probation & mitigated attempts to restore my mpeg2 & roms folders manually, I think I can safely say that I dig what the author of Daphne has in mind.
