      Hi! I got most of the daphne games working. But Dragons Lair has sound issues. It starts fine. The demo before you press start has sound, but after I “inserted” the coins and pressed play, the sound stops. The only sound I hear while playing the game is the input peep, the “movie sound” is missing. The files should be okay, they work fine in my PC-daphne version. Has anyone else the same problem?

        I've never heard of that one but I would be curious as to how you created/authenticated your game files? Did you move the DAT files also?

          @Keoky Are you using the correct rom with the corresponding ogg file? All your file names and rom name have to match or it will not use it properly. If your using the enhanced DL rom rename your ogg file to match (dle21.ogg)

          @Riverstorm That reminds me did you get your Rom names changed in Emulations station finally? I found out how to do that the other day, if you haven't. When on the rom name in Emulationstation bring up the ES menu go down to EDIT THIS GAME and change the name in the menu that opens.

            Hey Fin, how are you? Here's what ended up with:

            Daphne emulator details screen

            I didn't know there was a menu option ES to do that, I will check it out. Thanks Fin! :)

              @Riverstorm I used my old DL1+2, Space Ace dvds to unlock the files in daphne-Pc. Worked fine with all DVDs. Everything works on the PC. Then I copied the files to my RP3 without the dat so that it will be newly initialized in daphne-pie. DL2, Space Ace no problems. DL1 sound stops after pressing play.

              @Finhead Yes, I changed the names of the files and folders to my preferred rom settings. This works.

              I found a strange workaround for my problem. I have to press the pause button on my keyboard during the opening demo for a second. After continuing, the sound in the demo mode is now gone BUT after I press start the sound in the game works!! :-) So with a press of a button i can switch my sound problems between demo and game. Crazy!? I guess my ogg file is a bit out off sync with the video file and so daphne loses/finds the sound when I press pause? I will test different delay settings in commands to see if that helps.

              P.s: did somebody managed to start badlands or Road Blaster yet? I know that the wiki says that they are not working in the moment. Any luck?

                It sounds like you did it perfect. I am stumped as I used Daphne for Dragon's Lair 2. I already had a good HD blu-ray rip of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace and the sound is working good. I use the 20th anniversary edition 3 box set if needed with Daphne as they don't officially support blu-ray rips they are ok with running them from command line.

                The games I have tested and work so far:

                Dragon's Lair
                Dargon's Lair 2
                Space Ace
                Cobra Command
                M.A.C.H. 3
                Super Don Quix-ote

                Here's a great link with how to link different ROM sets (i.e. - use Dragon's Lair Enhanced 2.1 with the same files/tile set to save a whole lot of space).
