      I was intrigued, as the compatibility list did state "work, with issues".

      That does save me some trouble then :)

        To run DAPHNE, you must specify which game to run and which laserdisc player you are using.
        For example, try 'daphne lair noldp' to run Dragon's Lair in testing mode.
        Hello logfile - runcommand-onend checking in here
        

        and im trying to run it from sh file

        cd maddog

          --Command line is: /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin maddog vldp -nohwaccel -framefile /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt -homedir /opt/retropi$

          You are running the daphne.bin binary instead of singe.bin and trying to run a singe game.

          Also:

          ../singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt
          

          Is that a real directory ?

          As correct command line, should look something like this:

          --Command line is: /opt/retropie/emulators/singe/singe.bin /home/pi/.daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.singe -framefile /home/pi/.daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.txt -homedir /home/pi/.daphne -datadir /home/pi/.daphne -sound_buffer 2048 -volume_nonvldp 5 -volume_vldp 30 -x 800 -y 600
          

          You probably need to review you're using the correct run.sh for singe.

              See above for format of singe command, I edited previous response.

              You were specifying a frame file at this location:

              /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt
              

              What does

              ls -al /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt
              

              say ?

                  The only external thing you need to worry about is the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

                  echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
                  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<directory with libsinge.so and libvldp2.so>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
                  

                  Check directory is in there now:

                  echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
                  

                  So looking at your previous screenshot, I am guessing:

                  ./singe_binary_location  /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.singe  -framefile /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.txt -homedir /media/usb0/roms/daphne -datadir /media/usb0/roms/daphne -x 800 -y 600
                  

                  I just don't know where your singe.bin and libsinge.so and libvldp2.so files are, otherwise I have filled it in with above info....

                      I have 2 badlands roms in my roms folder :-

                      badlandsp.zip (9kb)
                      bl_hit_12f.bin
                      bl_hit_4f.bin
                      bl_hit_6a.bin
                      bl_hit_7a.bin
                      bl_hit_7c.bin
                      bl_hit_9c.bin

                      badlands.zip (13kb)
                      badlands.a13
                      badlands.a14
                      badlands.c4
                      badlands.c8

                      badlands.daphne
                      badlands-pc.dat
                      badlands-pc.m2v
                      badlands-pc.ogg

                      Hope that helps

                      Both badlands.zip and badlandp.zip ROMS work with daphne in linux.

                      Doing a quick compile on the Pi I still see the:

                      Write to ffff with 0
                      

                      issues on both ROMS. So there is still an issue here.....

                        You need to replace this: <directory with libsinge.so and libvldp2.so>

                        With the directory name/path where those files are...

                        e.g.

                        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pi/singe:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

                          @DirtBagXon Did you compile with the -fsigned-char changes added yesterday, and it still failed?

                          @skj was the game working for you prior to these changes yesterday?

                          EDIT: actually @DirtBagXon I forgot, but thank you for accepting the PR for the controls!

                                  I didn't, good catch, just recompiled and both ROMS run - bingo.

                                  Seems to be a Pi caveat:

                                        Try this as user pi:

                                        cd /home/pi/singe

                                          --Command line is: /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin maddog vldp -nohwaccel -framefile /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt -homedir /opt/retropi$

                                          You are running the daphne.bin binary instead of singe.bin and trying to run a singe game.

                                          Also:

                                          ../singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt
                                          

                                          Wait, doesn't the RetroPie daphne have singe support in it, like the DavidGriffiths one? I use the DG version, and my command line is

                                          /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin singe vldp -framefile /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/timegal.singe/timegal.txt -script /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/timegal.singe/timegal.singe -x 1360 -y 768

                                            so i did all of that
                                            now im getting this on my command -

                                            Bad command line or initialization problem (see daphne_log.txt for details).
                                            To run SINGE, you must specify which script to run.
                                            
                                            e.g. singe myscript.singe
                                            
                                            

                                            cant i run it with .sh file from the es?

                                            and how do i switch daphne.bin to singe.bin ?
