            Thank you for the file size info, I managed to locate the exact file without having to download a 64gb img

            However, I'm missing the frame file can you post the info inside the cliff.txt file

            I created my own can you verify its the same as yours:-

            .
            0 cliff.m2v

            Thanks for you help :)

                  Yes. The restored version works fine on retropie.

                    Thanks for the help, I now have 2 versions of cliffhanger (original & restored) I must say that the restored is so much better in video quality than the original, the restored version I found contained 3 versions of the video files

                    640x480_30i
                    640x480_24p
                    640x480_24p_letterbox

                    Thank you once again my friend

                        I've tried before a few months ago, I think Road Blasters gets some sort of fault in Daphne and doesn't work. Check the compatibility lists to be sure but I get the following:

                        Framefile parse succeeded. Video/Audio directory is: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/roadblaster.daphne/./

                          According to this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hy2VpPXgs4a9imeu0_w3SpehKEkhUNOLzD1jhcgwS3o/htmlview#gid=0 there is currently no working versions of road boasters & badlands in retropie :(

                              If you want to play Road Blaster at any cost, you can always try the Mega CD version "Road Avenger" it is the same game in 64 colours with most of the content intact.

                                @simonster the psx one is also an option, and has slightly better graphics.

                                  Interesting, I never knew there was a PSX version, I had the original Mega CD release (still have in the loft somewhere!)

                                    Thanx again, I have both versions, but the psx version is the best one. The LD version is the better of all, beacause of this I have interest in Daphne version.

                                    Sega Saturn have a good versions too...

                                    Road Blaster is one of my favorite games.

                                        That's amazing but it would be a 6320 Megabit (790 Megabyte) cartridge! The largest SNES cart was 24 Megabit. Can you imagine how much it would have cost to produce in 1995 (even without the cost of the video processor chip)?
