@vikingrock

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:-

Hmmmmmm interesting, are you using the "restored" version then?

vikingrock

Yes. The restored version works fine on retropie.

@vikingrock

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/./
YUV overlay is done in software (ie unaccelerated).

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 :(

vikingrock

Thanx for the info simonster & skj.

I will wait for daphne updates in retropie to be able to play Road Blaster and Badlands.

simonster

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!)

vikingrock

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.

@vikingrock

There was even a home brew snes port of road blasters

@skj

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)?

I know lol, I have played the rom in retropie and it plays very well

robthedude81

@vikingrock Do you have DL working properly? How have you done that. Mine just continues even when i get the commad wrong

vikingrock

@robthedude81 I have tested Trayers quest in my Daphne on hyperspin and the game works fine on pc, but in Rpi3 Daphne I cant put credits to play... I have tried to play with usb keyboard without sucess...

Others games I Have black screen on Daphne Rpi3 and they works normally in my Pc.

I work with a Pc a entire day, because of this I'm prever to use my rpi3 like console in tv screen with joysticks.
