New Hypseus and lr-Daphne to add on Retropie-Setup
-
@darknior The games were never supposed to be in widescreen. Accumbens/Franck's DL1 HD 720p (1280x720) rip is the cropped 16:9 version. Yuck. I haven't checked the other two yet but they look squished at 640x480 4:3 so that's why I thought 720x480 was the correct res. I converted my DL1 HD Dvd-Rom again to daphne with its original res of 1440x1080. According to the Space Ace HD Dvd-Rom iso I have, it offers 3 resolutions and 1440x1080 anamorphic 5:4 is the optimal resolution.
Edit: 1440x1080 is not 5:4 but 4:3.
I tried my own DL1HD 1440x1080 converted rip and it's unplayable. Too slow. So it is a resolution problem. Using the original 640x480 rip I did first works just fine. Trust me, the game still looks great and barely noticeable. I highly suggest you hunt down the original DL1 HD Dvd-rom but I don't think it's avail anywhere on the internet anymore. Unfortunately, there's no converter for the Space Ace HD Dvd-rom. I don't believe there's an HD Dvd-rom version of DL2. Bluray versions might all be cropped widescreen garbage.

Those hd rips weren’t supposed to be ripped at 1280x720. I’ll try to convert dl1hd in its original res and report my findings but I think the higher resolution might be causing your freezes/lag. Try 720x480.
I've use MediaInfo and you are right, my Dragon's Lair M2V file is in 1280x720 16/9 resolution MP2 NTSC HDV 720p
Real games resolution to respect are 512x480 / 640x480 / 720x480 / 1280x720 :

But for Dragon's Lair it's better, but not smooth :(
I can't play it, many times i hear the sound before the image, i don't have this problem with SD version where i can complete some scenes :DI will update first post with these settings.
Thanks - Astron Belt :

ive found some really nice 4:3 versions of Dragons Lair 1 & 2 & Space Ace, that run smoothly in daphne, heres a few comparison screens of the original and the newer versions :-
the new video files are 960x720 & 720x480 instead of 640x480, and are not that much bigger in disk filesize, these new video files by dex77 are BRD REMASTERED and are far superior to the accumbens & Franck releases.
HVG also released a nice HD Version of Dragons Lair,

Good news Daphne is getting ported to libretro no sound yet but its up and running not ready for users yet though
-
That is great news indeed! Any links where we can follow progress?
if you wish to test these versions i can glady point you in the right direction.
The video files are definitely beautiful, but please remember that they are protected works and even sharing their location is considered facilitating piracy, which is in no way allowed here.

@mediamogul

this is great news, do you have anymore info on the progress?
hopefully we will be able to configure the controls properly, also do you know if the LR version will include the singe engine that had better compatibilty and enabled more laserdisc games to be played ?. -
@mediamogul https://github.com/libretro/daphne
twinaphex and the original aurthor has done all the work inputs and video are hooked up. I just went through the source and figured out where to put everything to see how its running on windows. it was one line of code stopping it.
screen shot here.

its a retroarch daphne screenshot.
lair.m2v 852 MB (893,769,849 bytes) is the framefile im using

@stuart2773 It's firefox.m2v : 1,70 Go (1 836 320 618 octets)
Why ?
And thanks for the games HD version informations ;)@grant2258 said in Hypseus new Daphne fork to try on Retropie:
Great news :) Maybe in a few time include to Retropie on PI :p
-
Thanks for the info on Firefox, the reason I asked is so I can try and locate the video files and knowing the file size is a starting point, I hope you can locate and try the versions of dragons lair 1&2 from the info provided ;)

@mediamogul i tried compiling this for the pie to test it and came across an issue. I originally thought it was path related but it isint.
grants original path /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/roms
grants new path /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/roms
SDL failed: SDL not compiled with stdio supportis there any reason the support isint there that you know of?

Not that I'm aware of, no. It could be to accommodate some strange outer fringe case or something. @psyke83 might know more about it.
-
never mind i looked into it more seems the core is compiling sdl with it,. Its not the retropie end

This is great news, when can we expect a release ?

i hope the freezing issue can be fixed on the pi, are the games actually able to load on the pi and then freezing or are the freezing before loading?
-
I think i got the freezing sorted. I updated my retroarch from source still had problems(pi 3b+) . Personally for myself to get this working I had to update my sdl to the latest.
if anyone is intrested in testing i can leave instructions

Man I am watching this thread! :)
Do you need an x86 (x64) tester?
