Daphne problems

trekdrop

I wish i never started the daphne emulator :)
I have a few games working.
I really hate that my space ace doesn't work, i cant talk about the roms and where to get so thats my thing to figure out.
What i doesn't know is, i need to change the rom but when i delete the wrong rom generate a new rom list the old deleted rom is stil the main rom because the daphne loader gives a error that the old deleted rom is missing. So my question is where and how can i change the rom for each game?

I would recommend first testing your game files on the PC/Mac version of Daphne before moving them to the Pi. The process is a little more straight forward and it will tell you if your files are at least functional. From there, any issues specific to the Pi will be much easier to diagnose.

Thanks, i have everything perfect running on my pc. Can you tell me where retropie stores the rom list for daphne?

@trekdrop

I might be misunderstanding you, but Daphne doesn't really keep an external list of roms that can be altered. However, it does know to look for it's roms at /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/roms/. As long as they are functional, named correctly and in the case of the Pi, have the corresponding game files in the proper hierarchy, the games should just work.

some roms works better than other, example:

badlands doesn't run on my pi
i delete badlands.zip
download a other badlands.zip
now the Daphneloader doesn't read the rom..

@trekdrop

The alternate 'Badlands' rom you downloaded may not be compatible with the the other game files. Try launching both and check the Daphne log each time to see what it has to say. It's located at /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne_log.txt.
