Hi EnvisagedOne,
I am actually quite aware of this fact. In fact there actually has not been public work on DAPHNE for years now, while DEXTER development and testing has gone forward.
But with that said I do see a light of hope at the end of the tunnel that DAPHNE might get another look see sometime in the future. Since some of what DEXTER does is actually based upon DAPHNE, some of the progress that has been made on DEXTER could be used on DAPHNE, as well. And for this reason, I am posting my findings and requests that has the potential to make DAPHNE a far better Laser Disc Game Emulator for future use. That is if and when someone here decides that it is time to take another look at DAPHNE.
DAPHNE was the first Laser Disc Game Emulator for use with a Personal Computer. And as it sits, as is, is probably the Best way to Emulate some of the Laser Disc Games from the past on a Personal Computer. But this does not mean that it has been abandoned to be never be improved upon. It only means that work on it has been postponed for the time being for a much more ambitious project of DEXTER, the first Laser Disc Player Emulator.
Even though there has been much more focus on DEXTER as of late, rightfully so, I might add. does not mean that DAPHNE is any less of a Project. But I do understand that DAPHNE was made as a Free to the Public use, where as DEXTER is a For Profit endeavor. And I use the phase "For Profit" very loosely. Praise by itself is Great, but it does not pay the bills. And what I have seen so far of all of the hard work that has been put into DEXTER, I was actually quite surprised at the actual reasonable low cost for such a devise.
But I digress. I just hope that if and when public work on DAPHNE continues sometime in the future, that they will take note that there are still minor problems with DAPHNE and more Laser Disc Games that still has the potential to be Emulated on DAPHNE. And DAPHNE is still a Project that is worth improving on.
(P.S.) Still Very Excited about DEXTER Ver. 3, though.
Yours Truly,
Tony M Victorino

If you weren't aware, there is not going to be any work on the Daphne emulator for quite a while. The developer is working on something else that is taking up all his free time
