      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.

        @dirtbagxon Still not loading. It's going back to the errors about reading the wav files. I re-transferred those files but didn't change the situation.

          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 ?

              So you have the setup wrong somewhere, screenshots would show us.

                @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.

                      Hmmm, no one else has mentioned this, but I think I know what it is:

                      Copy this to a file called patch.diff

                      --- a/src/game/singe/loslib.c
+++ b/src/game/singe/loslib.c
@@ -72,11 +72,7 @@ static int os_getenv (lua_State *L) {
 
 
 static int os_clock (lua_State *L) {
-#ifdef __x86_64__
   lua_pushnumber(L, (((lua_Number)clock())/(lua_Number)CLOCKS_PER_SEC)*LUA_64BIT_CLOCK_SKEW);
-#else
-  lua_pushnumber(L, ((lua_Number)clock())/(lua_Number)CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
-#endif
   return 1;
 }

                      Then patch -p1 < patch.diff in the repo root, then recompile make and copy new binary over daphne.bin

                      cp build/hypseus /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin

                       

                      This is an inherit from the old Singe which has LUA os_clock issues, might not be needed on this port.... Let me know and I'll push fix.

                      Also anyone else seeing this, to be sure it's not specific?

                        Ok,

                        I don't see a 1m 20s delay, but I do see a delay of more than should be.

                        I have pushed fix, grab latest repo merge.

                          @dirtbagxon I might've patched it wrong or did a process wrong. Daphne games still load but none of the singe games load anymore. Back to the old errors of missing files and this time my compression app is not to blame.

                            Clean it down and start again.

                            Re the lair2 issue, I can't replicate this, so maybe a file encoding issue and the newer mpeg libraries......

                              @dirtbagxon Tried again, and the errors aren't going away. No singe games will load now. Kinda late so maybe I'm probably missing steps. I'll start over fresh after a good night sleep.

                                @DirtBagXon good news, for what it's worth, everything is still running well for me post change.

                                @Darksavior once you're back up, the timing of Singe games are well improved with the latest commit. Time Gal boot + new life is zippy. Mad Dog "shooting gallery" scenes are as fast as the original arcade version.

                                  I have added another option to disable the lair2 overlays in case it's that that is causing the stuttering issue on the PI.

                                  In RetroPie docs at: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Daphne/

                                  You have the ability to issue game specific config via <gamename>.commands

                                  So in this case, in thelair2.daphne directory create a file: lair2.commands and add -nolair2_overlay to it.

                                  cat /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair2.daphne/lair2.commands
-nolair2_overlay

                                  It's in the latest repo merge.

                                  Let me know results.

                                    For what it's worth, I have never had issues with Lair2, either with KMS or FKMS. Using 720p videos derived from the Digital Leisure product. Thanks again @DirtBagXon. Still, loving all of these new improvements. Daphne has been dead for far too long.

                                      Well, it's an option, not enabled by default - but if issues arise it's there....

                                      If 720p videos work it does imply an encoding issue.....

                                       
                                      Edit: I have had lair2 attract mode running on a Pi4 for last few hours, I occasionally see some stuttering, but bearable to me.

                                      It is probably the Pi drivers, if (moving forward) you have the KMS options this may improve. In the meantime if it bugs you, turn the overlay off as above.

                                        @dirtbagxon Alright, I found out I wasn't creating the symlink for singe. Huge improvements when i tested time gal. ~30sec for the first load. ~10 when I die.

                                        With lair2, I previously tested with the kms and fkms driver and got the same jittery results. I can verify that -nolair2_overlay fixes the problem.

                                          So the only different between you and @roslof is the video files....

                                          Think that may point a finger.

                                          Also I note that lair2 is listed with issues on the compatibility list:

                                            Deleted the origin request, as I have now managed to replicate the stuttering, which is in fact due to the video file encoding on this version:

                                            I grabbed the 1080p HD lair2 files and it was no longer evident even at higher resolution. This ties up with what @roslof stated.

                                            I did also take the opportunity to heavily optimise the lair2 overlay code and ensure that alignment is correct on HD (4:3) videos.

                                            I know the Pi won't support these HD videos smoothly, I didn't actually bother with HD previously, but having now seen them, I would be looking to encode these myself to a size that will run on the Pi.
