      @Finhead I think I tried the DLE21 ROMS and had an issue with getting them to reference the right files, but may try again. Command file is using the setup I found on github, which is "-nocrc -noissues -nolog -noserversend -latency 950 -x 640 -y 480 -bank 1 00110111 -bank 0 10011000".

        If your unsure just rename all your files dle21, that's what I did to make it simple. Your dle.txt file should be

        151 dle21.m2v <----- you need a few spaces between "151" and the rest this forum omits that for some reason.

        With the first line a space as it is now. You can then rename in Emulationstaion to reflect better what it is.

          @Finhead Gave it a whirl and it seems like it might work a tad bit better. Hard to tell, though, as I'm now back to overclocking both the board itself, as well as the SD port. GPU's also set at 512 now. It's the smoothest it has ever been, but I still get a freeze here and there that will, typically, be long enough to result in a death. Really not sure where to go from here, other than to focus on the stuff that works and give up on Daphne.

            I've never used any command line options except -fastboot and it works fine. I'm just shooting in the dark but maybe try it without or some tweaking.

            -latency <milliseconds> Adds a delay before all searches occur which causes scenes to last a little longer. Useful for Dragon's Lair F2 ROMs that cut some scenes off prematurely.

            -nocrc Disables CRC32 checking (not recommended).

            -noissues Don't display warnings about game driver problems.

            -bank <which bank> <base2 value> Used to modify dip switch settings. The 'which bank' argument specifies which dip switch bank to modify, where 0 is the first bank. The 'base2 value' argument is in 8-bit binary form that is composed of 1's and 0's, where the right-most bit corresponds to the first dip switch. For example, if you wanted to enable dip switch 0 in bank 0, but disable switches 1-7, then you'd do "-bank 0 00000001". Tip: it's much easier to let DaphneLoader figure this out for you by using the Show Command Line option under the Advanced Usage configuration tab.!

            -nolog Disables writing to the log file (daphne_log.txt).

            -noserversend Tells Daphne not to send any usage statistics to the central Daphne server. Use this if you have no internet connection or don't want to share your usage information.

            -x <horizontal resolution> Specifies the width of the game window (in pixels).

            -y <vertical resolution> Specifies the height of the game window (in pixels).

              I was having the exact same issues with my Daphne setup through EmulationStation (ver 3.8 I think). It was driving me nuts until I decided to try floob's Attract Mode front-end instead of ES. Dragon's Lair runs perfectly now.

                Yes, had the same issue and Attract Mode fixed it. It's an Emulationstation issue.

                  I also had the problems with the pauses.
                  Now I changed my SanDisk ultra 64GB with a SanDisk extreme 64GB and all works properly.
                  SD-card too slow?

                    I wouldn't think so considering it works with Attract Mode. Unless Emulationstation handles SD memory differently.

                        @beastrow I had a problem of not having the game play properly with a lot of lag on the video but the audio was fine. I changed my power source to an official raspberry pi one and it plays now but the sound disappeared. I deleted the data file to let it parse a new one and it's all working well know.
                        I have a working lair and dle21
