I'm currently unable to run Dragon's Lair.

I'm using the Daphne Loader 1.2 Build 121 on Win XP.
When launching DL I got an error msg and my log file looks like this:

--DAPHNE version 0.99.6

Please let me know if you need additional info regarding this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Anyone???

Sounds like your framefile is not pointing to your mpeg file. You did not mention what mpegs you are using. The first line of your framefile should point to the folder that contains your mpegs.

Thanks for your feedback.

My framefile looks like this:

.

150 dl-slates.m2v
323 dls00.vob.m2v
1366 dls01.vob.m2v
2044 dls01d1.vob.m2v
2085 dls01d2.vob.m2v
2133 dls01d3.vob.m2v
.....abridged

And it's located in G:\DragonsLair\dldvdrom\ just like all my mpegs.

Any clue?

The very first line of your framefile should contain the path to your mpegs.
Like this


G:\DragonsLair\dldvdrom\

150 dl-slates.m2v
323 dls00.vob.m2v
1366 dls01.vob.m2v

Also, after the -framefile command you need to point to the location of your framefile. If it is in G:\DragonsLair\dldvdrom\ then this is what should follow -framefile

Yours -
G:\DragonsLair\daphne.exe lair vldp -framefile G:\DragonsLair\framefile.txt -fullscreen -useoverlaysb -x 1024 -y 768

Should be -
G:\DragonsLair\daphne.exe lair vldp -framefile G:\DragonsLair\dldvdrom\framefile.txt -fullscreen -useoverlaysb -x 1024 -y 768

Thanks a lot for your help Pinsane.

Now it's working but only in a window, I mean that I'm unable to play the game in fullscreen mode (the screen gets black for a few seconds and then get back to the desktop).

Any idea regarding this?

Not sure on that one. You might try not setting the resolution on the command line. Remove the -x 1024 and -y 768 and see if that will help you.

Well that's not making any difference but thanks a lot for your time.

Maybe one of the developers is aware of such an issue?
