                Here's a quick update. Just got my Dragon's Lair DVD today. Used Windows version of Daphne and it found the ROMs online and was able to rip and write the video and audio files from the DVD.

                Looking forward to pictures of your project, but I wanted to clarify a minor detail here. Daphne for Windows (and MacOS) doesn't "rip" anything from the DVD. It merely verifies the disc and downloads EVERYTHING, including the ROMs and the media files (video and audio) using bit-torrent.

                Not that this matters, but I hate to perpetuate misinformation here. We don't have any control over the size or compression of the video since it's just a download, but fortunately, it sounds like the files work on the Pi Zero which is good to know. Had you actually ripped your own media (from HD source for example) it might not playback smoothly if ripped at a high bit rate.

                  If I get the chance too, I will. I got a new HD camera (lighting in my room sucks really bad but I can make something and post it). This is for the Pi 2. Once I get the time to transfer everything over to the Pi Zero, I'll do another video and see how that may work out.

                  Sorry it's been late for me to reply. This weekend I'll try to post my config settings. I'm still going to have to get my controllers configured but I should have time this weekend for that too. It does run very well. So much fun to play. All the games I have on it works great except there is a glitch in Thayer's Quest.

                  You are correct. I was tired when I posted about that and was mistaken. The DVD ROM was only used to verify that I have a legitimate copy. I'll go edit my post so I don't accidentally misguide anyone in the future that may be reading this thread for help. :)

                      @twd lol.. I'll try to. I use to have a Youtube channel from 2007 to 2010 where I did Amiga game reviews. I use to put funny little animated skits in it but it was taken down when YouTube started flagging for copyright. I had some music in it from Van Halen, Rush, Vanessa Mae and a few others. Not the whole song but I'd do a montage skit and back then it was fine. I miss doing it. I compose my own music now but just haven't had time to do anything with it. Hope to get a new channel started soon. :)

                          @twd Might be a while on the video though. I'm spending the day trying to get my Pi Zero set up. Going to see how Dragon's Lair works on that too. Then I'll do a video on both the zero and Pi 2. I'm actually curious how well it will run.

                            Quick update. Dragon's Lair actually plays on the Pi Zero but it's a little choppy. Yet, it works and it's kind of playable.
