Better Daphne support

[Aeliss]

Have you used the special application to download daphne iso ? this one http://ddl.pleasuredome.org.uk/ ?

Open the mgalaxy/data/Systems.xml file with notepad
change this line to have something like that (you can change path, but keep the same folder)

Code: [Select]

  <System Type="Arcade">
    <Name>Laserdisc</Name>
    <AppPath>F:\emulateur\Daphne\daphne.exe</AppPath>
    <RomPath>F:\emulateur\Daphne\vldp</RomPath>
    <SnapPath>F:\emulateur\Mgalaxy\snapsemul\Daphne</SnapPath>
    <VidPath />
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="Daphne" value="%file vldp -framefile &quot;vldp\%file\%file.txt&quot; -fullscreen" />
    </Emu>
    <Extensions>.txt,.zip</Extensions>
    <Active>True</Active>
    <Script>True</Script>
    <Database>False</Database>
  </System>
This setup will work if you have in the Daphne\vldp\badlands folder the files
badlands.txt (framefile file)
badlands.m2v
badlands.ogg

The 2 lasts files are from this special version. I think you will have the same.

in the badlands.txt I have this file and folder

Code: [Select]

.
151 badlands.m2v

Can you paste here the command line displayed in daphnee for the not working rom or the "daphne_log.txt" for the same game ?

Love this Frontend but it sucks and doesn't work at all with Daphne. Like to see better support for it. Will go back to Maximus arcade for now.
