Warning.png Running Daphne from the command-line is advanced usage. For regular Daphne usage, we recommend that you run Daphne using DaphneLoader.

Contents

Quick Start

You may find it much easier to edit a working command line than trying to create one from scratch.

DaphneLoader can display the command line it will use before launching a game. To enable this functionality, select a game, click Configure, go to the Advanced tab, and enable "Display command line".

Command Line Format

The command line format is:

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

The game type and laserdisc player type are required, while the options are not.
