daphne help [solved!]

[tar]

@tar ok i answered a good portion of this for myself. seems i had files in two seperate paths i had started to use a usb stick but daphne didnt load on it maybe once i put space ace on the sd chip all was good..
still could use some help with finding the log txt .. getting that error on dragons lair 2..
im sorrey if im not posting this correcdtly i am real new to this...and trying to learn
thank you

[mitu]

The daphne_log.txt file is in the $HOME/.daphne folder, you'll need to connect via SSH with WinSCP to read it.

[tar]

@mitu thank you very much..
lol something new to frustrate me ..this is to much fun

@tar said in daphne help:

again google is a friend

Or you could have just followed the link I posted to the Docs which explain how to enable and use SSH...

[tar]

@mitu yep sorry my brain did not wrap around that explanation as well guess i needed pictures lol

[tar]

@mitu so that would be the folder where i am putting the lair.daphne and i find the rom folder under? . sorry if i am being a pain here

[mitu]

@tar Have you looked at the Docs ? It explains what is the expected folder/file structure for a Daphne game.

[tar]

@mitu i found it been reading but jumping around on 50 diffrent things sorry about that

@tar said in daphne help:

this is my txt file..

Your previous screenshots shows the framefile .txt file as dl2-framefile.txt, while the game looks for lair2.txt - are you sure you have the right filename and location ?

[Clyde]

Just a little word of friendly advice. Please use code blocks for long listings, it makes them much more readible in the forums. Examples:

--DAPHNE version 1.0.13
--Command line is: /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin lair2 vldp -nohwaccel -framefile /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair2.daphne/lair2.txt -homedir /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne -fullscreen

@mitu god i hope thats it ive been reading things all over and tail chasing.. ill give it a try..im trying to make a trilogy cab wouldnt be much of 1 with just the 2.
so to make sure im understanfing you suggest the txt file needs renamed.. then would i have to rename all the files as will the m2v and ogg?

[tar]

just a carpenter trying to take up a diffrent hobby

@tar said in daphne help:

No, they shouldn't - just the .txt file.

[tar]

@mitu ok so here is what i found to be my problem..
i thought i could just rename the file right click rename.
to fix i opened file in notepad and save as.. lair2.txt...
just so if there are others that dont get it like me
lol
thank you ever so much..
now i can move on to the rest of the fun
