daphne help [solved!]

[tar]

2 part question here

1. has to deal with dragons lair2.
   i get could not find framefile : /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair2.daphne/lair2.txt
   read daphne_log.txt.
   now i can find the log txt on my comp using daphne but can not find reference to it on the pi.. btw runs beautifully on the comp.
   ![alt text]( the txt seems correct to me . but i must be missing something
2. deals with space ace
   im getting a blank screen when i hit anykey.. again works well on comp but not on the pi 4 yet.. i hear a sound bite and then just black screen..
   
   ive tried getting rid of the space the period that just gets failed messages....
   ive been reading for days and feel as if im just chasing my tail..maybe i could be lead in the right direction
   thank you very much in advance********bolded text**********```

@tar roubleshooting
If you have issues with black screen, try deleting the .dat file as it is generated the first time you parse the video files. If you transferred the .dat file from another system it may not work, so just leave the .dat file out.

It is also case sensitive so if it's not working try making the extensions in the .daphne file lowercase.
done all this.. as well

@tar ok i answered a good portion of this for myself. seems i had files in two seperate paths i had started to use a usb stick but daphne didnt load on it maybe once i put space ace on the sd chip all was good..
still could use some help with finding the log txt .. getting that error on dragons lair 2..
im sorrey if im not posting this correcdtly i am real new to this...and trying to learn
thank you

[mitu]

The daphne_log.txt file is in the $HOME/.daphne folder, you'll need to connect via SSH with WinSCP to read it.

@mitu thank you very much..
lol something new to frustrate me ..this is to much fun

again google is a friend

@tar said in daphne help:

again google is a friend

Or you could have just followed the link I posted to the Docs which explain how to enable and use SSH...

[tar]

@mitu yep sorry my brain did not wrap around that explanation as well guess i needed pictures lol

[tar]

@mitu so that would be the folder where i am putting the lair.daphne and i find the rom folder under? . sorry if i am being a pain here

[mitu]

@tar Have you looked at the Docs ? It explains what is the expected folder/file structure for a Daphne game.

[tar]

@mitu i found it been reading but jumping around on 50 diffrent things sorry about that

this is my txt file..

Your previous screenshots shows the framefile .txt file as dl2-framefile.txt, while the game looks for lair2.txt - are you sure you have the right filename and location ?

[Clyde]

Just a little word of friendly advice. Please use code blocks for long listings, it makes them much more readible in the forums. Examples:

--DAPHNE version 1.0.13
--Command line is: /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin lair2 vldp -nohwaccel -framefile /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair2.daphne/lair2.txt -homedir /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne -fullscreen

@mitu god i hope thats it ive been reading things all over and tail chasing.. ill give it a try..im trying to make a trilogy cab wouldnt be much of 1 with just the 2.
so to make sure im understanfing you suggest the txt file needs renamed.. then would i have to rename all the files as will the m2v and ogg?

[tar]

just a carpenter trying to take up a diffrent hobby

@tar said in daphne help:

No, they shouldn't - just the .txt file.

[tar]

@mitu ok so here is what i found to be my problem..
i thought i could just rename the file right click rename.
to fix i opened file in notepad and save as.. lair2.txt...
just so if there are others that dont get it like me
lol
thank you ever so much..
now i can move on to the rest of the fun
