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

@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
