Ok folks - hope this isn't too dumb a question. Over the last week I have got daphne to work with discs of DL, DL2 and ACE, converting the video using convid2daph. Even managed a batch file that will run the games from Mamewah! (I am about to build a cabinet)
Cannot however get astron belt or badlands to work. Have got the m2v and ogg files in a separate directory, complete with a framefile in the daphne directory. System gets to the 'about to parse files - may take a while' screen and then quits.
Log file reads:
--DAPHNE version 0.99.8cvs
--Command line is: Daphne.exe ASTRON vldp -fullscreen -framefile C:\program files\daphne\ASTRON.txt
--CPU : AuthenticAMD 1700 MHz || Mem : 512 megs

After the many trials with getting DL etc to work I realise that the program is not forgiving of syntax errors - however I cannot see my mistake - are my video files duff, they seem to open and view in TMPG.
Any help appreciated
