      @darksavior said in Hypseus new Daphne fork to try on Retropie:

      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 :

      • Astron Belt : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480
      • Badlands : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480
      • Bega's Battle : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480
      • Cliff Hanger (2009 Restoration by Darryl Hirschler) : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480
      • Cobra Command :-fullscreen -x 512 -y 480
      • Dragon's Lair : -x 640 -y 480
      • Dragon's Lair [Remastered by Accumbens (and Franck) to HD 720p the 15/02/2016] : -fullscreen -x 1280 -y 720
      • Dragon's Lair 2 (Enhanced v3.19) : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480
      • Dragon's Lair 2 [Remastered by Accumbens to HD 720p the 12/03/2016] : -fullscreen -x 1280 -y 720
      • Esh's Aurunmilla : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480
      • Firefox : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480
      • Galaxy Ranger : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480
      • GP World : -fullscreen -x 720 -y 480
      • Interstellar, Laser Fantasy : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480
      • MACH 3 : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480
      • Road Blaster : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480
      • Space Ace : -fullscreen -x 720 -y 480
      • Space Ace [Remastered by Accumbens to HD 720p the 31/03/2016] : -fullscreen -x 1280 -y 720
      • Super Don Quix-Ote : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480
      • Thayer's Quest : -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480
      • Us Vs Them : -fullscreen -x 512 -y 480

      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 :D

      I will update first post with these settings.
      Thanks

      Life is game, just play it !

        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,

            That is great news indeed! Any links where we can follow progress?

            @Stuart2773

            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.

              ive amended the original post, no need to worry i have no plans on posting the links to the files, pretty easy to find on google if you know what to search for.

                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 ?.

                  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.

                          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 support

                            is 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.

                                      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

                                          Do you need an x86 (x64) tester?

                                            more intrested in getting the pi bug fixed.

                                            @mediamogul
                                            Its 100% the sdl2 lib causing the freezing. Confirmed it it by reinstalling the old one.

                                            Installing the new one then rebooting fixes the issue. Is there any way we can get sdl2 updated? Ill do more testing ill reinstall the old one and reboot the only way i can seem to fix it is using the latest atm
