Ok, before I place the order I want to insure I have this correct.

1) Order the PC-dvd of Dragaon's Lair and Space Ace from some place like digital liesure
2) Convert the dvd to mpeg so I can play without the dvd inserted
3) download Daphne and the rom's
4) Experience the games as I remember them


Do I have this correct? I don't want to order the wrong version and then find out I can't play

Just be sure to get the DVD-Rom, and not the DVD-Video. Besides that, all you need is a computer that's fast enough. You'll also need to download dvd2daph.

Great! Thanks, I will order the goodies today

And for whatever it's worth, being able to play without the DVD is not the reason you convert to MPEG. Daphne uses a special version of MPEG, with the video and the audio seperated out into their own streams (only the video is actually MPEG, the audio is a special compressed format called OGG). You convert the video in order to make it compatible with Daphne.
