Hi All,

I'm looking for a bit of help with Daph for my Mac Osx.

I have purchased a package of titles for daphne and they are running for the most part.

However I cannot figure out how to get control of the keyboard to play.

When I look at the Daphne Loader under configure there is no option to Adjust the input. All of the other lists are there example. "Laserdisc, Game, Video, Audio, and Advanced" only the "Input" button shows nothing.

Is this correct?

When I play the game, only the preview plays, no ability to inserts coins etc.

I use my mac with a bluetooth keyboard but have tried a usb board also.

following is my text file readout:
--DAPHNE version 0.101.12

--Command line is: Daphne.app/Contents/MacOS/Daphne lair vldp -framefile /Users/Mark/Documents/DAPHNE User Data/framefile/dlair.txt -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -homedir /Users/Mark/Documents/DAPHNE User Data -bank 0 11111001 -bank 1 00100111 -sound_buffer 2048 -x 640 -y 480

--CPU : Intel (2 cpu) 2000 MHz || Mem : 0 megs

--OS : Mac OSX || Video : Unknown video

Setting alternate home dir:

/Users/Mark/Documents/DAPHNE User Data

Setting sound buffer size to 2048

Seems I solved my own problem.

On my mac interface, the keyboard only becomes enabled on Daphne if you have clicked on the Game window.

This makes the difference! My games are now playing.
I do find a couple of bugs happening with Dragons Lair.

Does anyone know how to get the game to play from the first scene?
Mine keeps starting right after Dirk gets throught the drawbridge and runs through the gates.

The official U.S. ROMS never had the drawbridge scene. It cut to Dirk running into the castle. Your best bet is to get the enhanced ROMS (version 1.1 and 2.1 both play the drawbrigde scene)

Really?
I didn't know that was the case?

I suppose the old version of DL I have from Sunsoft is a European version.
It runs on older mac stuff and I'm running an intel mac now.

I'll search for the European version.

I could swear the old DL machine at the long gone arcade had the bridge scene in it.

Oh how the mind goes over time!

thanks again.

Ok then,

If the European version of Dragon's Lair offers the Draw bridge intro....

Then I must ask for a bit more help.

I do have the European roms but how /what is the proper way to tell Daphne how to use it.

I'm sorry I don't quite get the whole path thing. We mac users don't usually see things this way.

I have had success with the US version of DL and Space Ace so far, but I do get a bit lost with some of the other games.

In other words how do you tell Daphne which roms to use?
Is the path described in the textfile?
Can someone give me a 101 Rundown?

Pleasssseee?

It depends on what version of Daphne you're using. If you're using 99.7 or older, the european versions aren't listed. You had to use a command line to manually make it run. However, if you've downloaded the latest Daphne (which you can obrain through the chatroom) then you can go into configure Dragon's lair and there is a drop down menu where you can choose any version of Dragon's Lair you want to play.
