Yes it works great on the pi, just follow the directions on the wiki page. You will need the files from
DO NOT POST LINKS TO ROMSITES!

, these are what you place in the Rom folder. They will be located in the game folder on your C: drive or where ever you install the downloader.

@herb_fargus The Daphne Downloader is not a romsite.
Would have PM'd but there is no option on this forum to do so. -
@Finhead for the help. I got Daphne installed this morning before work and just quickly tried to get it up and running. After placing a rom it didn't show up in my Retropie menu so I'll have to double check that I did this correctly.
BTW, Daphne runs Laser Disc not Sega CD, correct?
Thanks

@Finhead the daphne downloader from the site you linked is a cracked torrent client
The regular daphne downloader from the windows based daphne emulator is not.
They are two very different things.

Like I say you have to setup your rom folder like it says in the Wiki. It's not your standard rom folder where you just dump it in the correct folder you need a structure for DAphne to read properly.
Here is a thread from a few days ago I helped Riverstorm with the same thing, all the answers you need should be

Thanks! You're a stud!

@Finhead I do appreciate all the help, but figuring out what files go where is proving to be a bit over my head.

@Stylust Thanks Stylust. So I purchase the game from steam and then follow the instructions?

I don't think the Steamgame will work, you need a actual physical disc. You would want to get the DVD box set, best way to get the 3 popular ones
If you would like, check my profile I believe it lists my email I can go through all this will you if your stuck. -
@Finhead thanks! I looked, didn't see an email address. But ok, that helps clarify things. So I buy the DVD set and install daphne on my pc. Then through the daphne app on my pic I certify I own Dragons lair and it allows me to download the file... Then I install that file on Retropie. Does that sound correct?

Yep that sounds correct, you can PM me here under the same name if you run into issues

It downloads a .bt file, is that the file that is used in the end?
I was rather confused about the approach.

Yes if you read the thread I linked on post #9 it shows where to find the files etc you need to move to your Pi and how to set it up properly.
