I'm trying to get daphne set up so I can try out Dragon's Lair, etc to see if I like them. I think I have everything configured correctly, but when I run the game, I have no video. The sound works fine, it's like it's playing blind. What did I do wrong?

Edit: Using version 99.7 I think
Edit 2: Same thing with the newest version

Fixed the video problem, I disabled hardware acceleration and now it works.

I tried to play it just now and died (of course), and it showed a whole bunch of different death scenes. What's with that?
 
Apparently, this is just how DL works. I never played it bitd, so I was confused about why I kept getting teleported around when I died. That's just the game I guess.
 
Weird...

I have hardware acceleration turned "on" and mine runs fine...weird...maybe some machines act differently...

Glad you got it working...

What do you mean?

What do you mean it showed a bunch of different "death" scenes?? Do you mean, after you died, it started the game with a different scene? If so, yea...that's how DL works. It skips around from scene to scene after each death...you don't get to play the last scene over again (well, sometimes it will randomly play the last scene again)...
If you are running the HD version it doesn't do that as often...

Yeah, it was just jumping to a new scene. I was dying so quickly that I thought it was just randomly showing deaths heh.

Here is an outline of the scene sequencing on the orignal harware and in DAPHNE.

HD versions?

Jeff,

Do those scene sequences run in that order on the HD versions of DL?? or is it different? Just curious

is there any way I can buy that hd version of dragons lair? I know that daphnee has this downloader thing if you have a legit version of the game in your dvd drive, but is there a way i can just buy a package online that would allow me to download it instead?
 
You can use whatever version of the files you want (I think), Daphne will flip out and try to scare you into buying stuff, but I used some files I got somewhere else.

Edit: Or just use the older version, like I am. It doesn't have all the server reporting bullshit.

Hi Jess,

Well, if there is an "arcade mode" on the HD version then is should follow that scene sequencing chart exact. I'm not too familiar with the HD versions. I gave up on trying to keep track of all the different versions of the game that have been released over the years.... and there's been quite a few!
