      Ok , nevermind, deleting folder did it

      Good deal. I was prepping a list of possibilities. Sounds like you're close now. Fingers crossed.

        @roslof Spoke too soon. Tried multiple times. Trying ln -s ../timegal.daphne timegal

        ln: failed to create symbolic link 'timegal': Operation not permitted

          • Is this on an external drive? FAT32 partition?
          • Permissions of folders correct?
          • Are you performing this from within daphne/singe?

            • Yes, fat32 usb stick.
            • I haven't messed with permissions. Is 755 fine?
            • Yes.

              @darksavior I'm fairly certain you can't create symlinks on FAT32. There is a thread here:

                  Correct, you cannot create symlinks on FAT32. The filesystem doesn't support it.

                  You can however, duplicate the data, i.e. copy timegal.daphne as timegal into the singe folder.

                  Yes is doubling the amount of disk space, but I presume you have the same issue with lair and dle21 or ace and sae which use the same data for different versions of Dragons Lair/Space Ace ?

                  You could also save space by linking them:

                  ln -s lair.daphne dle21.daphne

                  We are down to individual user cases now.

                  There is a way around it but wasteful on disk space.

                    @dirtbagxon I'll test that out a bit later.
                    No, I do not have that issue with dragon's lair or space ace. I have only one folder for each game called dle21.daphneand sae.daphne

                      Daphne games can be handled by having one main directory for everything (lair.daphne) and a separate folder called dle21.daphne that contains a sole, lonely framefile named dle21.txt and whose first line points to ../lair.daphne

                        If it's for just two games......

                        But I would always use ext filesystems ;)

                            Infact, in might only need the peripheral files in the copied directory within singe - Put all files in there to start with, when that works try taking out the large video files etc, and see what it needs.

                            The errors were only complaining about the peripheral files, I THINK it still read the video/audio from the timegal.daphne directory due to the framefile....

                              I'm thinking this might work:

                              roms          (EXT linux filesystem)
|-- daphne
|    |
|    |-- timegal.daphne
|    |    |
|    |    |-- timegal.commands  (Optional)
|    |    |-- timegal.txt
|    |    |-- timegal.m2v
|    |    |-- timegal.ogg
|    |    |-- timegal.singe
|    |    |-- *.*
|    |
|    +-- singe
|         +-- timegal  <<- link (ln -s ../timegal.daphne timegal)

                              roms          (FAT32 filesystem)
|-- daphne
|    |
|    |-- timegal.daphne
|    |    |
|    |    |-- timegal.commands  (Optional)
|    |    |-- timegal.txt
|    |    |-- timegal.m2v
|    |    |-- timegal.ogg
|    |    |-- timegal.singe
|    |
|    +-- singe
|         |-- timegal
               |
               |-- *.*  <<- All other files except
                            m2v, ogg, singe and framefile

                              Of course in FAT32 scenario you can also have the *.* files in both places for simplicity and archival purposes.

                                  Some thing weird going on there, can you show us how your drive layout looks, maybe via a screenshot on Windows explorer as a remote mount ?

                                        @dirtbagxon All fixed! It was on my end. Looks like the archive utility app that comes with my mac is a real pile of garbage and was not extracting files correctly. Tried another and that did the trick. It's all good! Now I can goto sleep.

                                            @dirtbagxon Is it normal for these long load times? Both Time Gal and Ninja Hayate have around 1min 20sec of load time when it first starts and when you die its at least 35 seconds of waiting. I only have these two singe games and it happens with both.

                                            Dragons Lair 2 is jittery. Dragons lair 1 and Space Ace seem to be fine. It's not jittery with daphne. I'm using the dex77 rips if it matters.
