@dishins said in Dragon's Lair Working:
I'm getting the following error:
ROM dl_f2_u1.bin couldn't be found in roms/lair/, or in ./roms/lair.zip
My folder structure is exactly like the video, any clue on this?
I agree with Battlecat. I would try another lair.zip as the official site you'll see the EPROMs inside the archive do change. If you own one of the Digital Leisure qualifying products to use with Daphne it will do the rest. You can dump the space in your lair.txt file but it don't hurt anything either.
Here's the steps that worked before if using Daphne and the 20th Anniversary DVDs.
Download and install Daphne Loader
Start Daphne and click "Start" on your preferred game (downloads games via torrent files)
After it downloads the game it will give you a list of qualifying DVD's to authenticate the game
Insert correct DVD and click "Ok" to authenticate
After it completes click "Ok' to start the game and parse the files
Exit the game and Daphne Loader
Browse to the install folder and look for the subdirectory named "vldp_dl"
Under "vldp_dl" look for the game you just installed (i.e. Dragon's Lair=lair; Space Ace=ace; etc.)
You want to copy all the files except the *.bf, *.md5, *.dat files to your Pi using SCP or another program.
The directory structure is defined in the official Wiki here:

In step 2 it can take a while depending on your internet connection to download the *.bf files. It seems the *.bf files are some type of encrypted file. It's basically all the *.m2v & *.ogg files encrypted.
In step 4 it can take a while also. It uses the DVD to authenticate all the downloaded files but I do not think the workable downloaded version used with the Daphne Loader is the same as the qualifying DVD versions. I believe the DVD is only used to authenticate the files. The Daphne Loader uses some type of decryption key to decrypt the *.bf files to usable *.m2v & *.ogg files after it verifies the DVD is genuine. You end up using twice the space as once it completes you have two sets of files the downloaded encrypted *.bf files and the decrypted *.m2v & *.ogg usable files.
