      @DjDiabolik Take a look at the Dragon's Lair Project side, they are providing lot's of information about the laserdisc games. Especially their Tech Center-pages may be of interest to you ;)

        Another strange behaviour:
        On Space Ace i can only see the flash on screen suggestion for moves but no moves textered suggestion and also here........ it's only 1 credit need for start and continue the games.

        Another strange behaviour:
        On DL2 when i dead i need to repeat the same place where I had previously died. Because on "Space Ace" when i die the games apparently skip forward anyway on next place. It's normal ?

        I have tryed to google about "dapne how configure games settings" or similar but no info founded... Thanks in advance for every suggestion.

        This sounds like you are playing the Daphne version of Space Ace, but the Singe version of DL2.

        You might want to check over your game types. As @Ashpool suggested DLP is fantastic, but will only really help with the Daphne versions of the games.

        If I'm wrong and you are using the Daphne version of DL2 then see here: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe/discussions/74

        Hope this helps.

          YEAH....... yesterday i come again at my Brother home.
          I can confirm i can REACH somethings like DIP SWITCH setting (but first i have need to configure/add the 2P Start button and the service button.. done in minutes).

          For obtain this...... wait the attract mode:
          Hold SWORD Button - > Press "Service" button and release both.

          From this DIP Switch i can now select number of credit need to start.....number of lives of "Dirk"... the difficult level (0 to 4 apparently) and some other things but apparently there's no option about FLASH Moves or suggested text during the gamesplay.

          @Wampa

          Oh yeah... i can reach this setting and by default it's setted to 0 (zero). Next time i try to set to 1.......

          About check version of my games...... i don't have idea but problably i have this rom for game:
          Dragon's Lair II - ROM Image (USA / Leland v3.19) [3]

          It's the same info appears on screen immediatelly when i lauch the games from emulationstation.

            @DjDiabolik said in Daphne/Hypseus. The game can be configured ? If yes.. how i can ?:

            but apparently there's no option about FLASH Moves

            AFAIK(/R) they cannot be configured.

              wait a moment...this is a misunderstanding :)

              If you disable flash on screen to suggest moves how you can play this games ?..... i thinks the flash suggestion it's enabled by default.

              Anyway following the "issue" cited by @Wampa :
              https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe/discussions/74

              From DIP Swith menù i can raise level to 1 (from 0) and "text" disappears from screen and only the flash on screen remain and, i thinks, this is the default setting i remember on my childhood amiga or pc conversion :)
              I have applyed this on DL2 3.19 whitout any problems.

              About Space Ace......... apparently also here it's available a DIP Swith setting but problably i don't have the "correct" version.
              Recently i have add the Space Ace Enanched version on my collection...... there's present some DIP Switch setting suggested on Dragon's lair project site on tech but i don't have idea how i can apply on Hypseus....

                    You cannot remove flashes in lair2, they are part of the laserdisc video.

                    From DIP Swith menù i can raise level to 1 (from 0) and "text" disappears from screen and only the flash on screen remain and, i thinks, this is the default setting i remember on my childhood amiga or pc conversion :)

                    In lair2 there was a Service Menu, as you saw. In earlier games you have to flick dip switches on the argument line. Using -bank arguments

                    i.e.

                    hypseus.bin ace vldp -fastboot -bank 1 00000001 -bank 0 00000010   ...
                    

                    The dip switches are detailed for each game in the Tech Center on DLP: http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/tech/pages/sa.asp (ace here)

                    Also refer to the hypseus pages, there is information there too on understanding these: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe/discussions/94

                    You would add -bank arguments to the .commands file.

                        I'm back my friends............ I thought it was right to change the thread title.

                        Now this thread contain a lot of usefull information can be shared to anywant try to add some Hypseus/Daphne games on your Retropie Setup.

                        Exactly how i have do whit my lol :)

                        About recent news........ Dragon's Lair 2 and Space Ace now can be played correctly on my Intel NUC Retropie setup.

                        About 'lair2' i have also add a movie/audio whit better quality........ and also for lair2 i have add a lair2.commands contain:

                        -x 1920 -y 1080 
                        
                        

                        Now i can play at "Full HD" dragon lair 2 - time warp on my Full HD TV...... lol.

                        Now i have need one suggestion....... about space ace 'ENHANCEMENT' rom.

                        My principal question it's...... how i can know what exact .m2v and .ogg files need ??

                        Another question it's......... about subfolder need to create in roms i can use every subfolder i want or every games need a specific folder name ??
                        For example:
                        Dragon's Lair 2 currently i use 'lair2.daphne' and 'lair2.zip' for roms
                        Space Ace i use ace.zip for roms (that contain the A3 roms) and 'ace.daphne'

                        But for example...... if i want to add space ace enhacement what folder i need to use ?

                        It's exist a hypseus .DAT for know if i have or know all files need to have to play a games ?
