Well guys, been tinkering with Daphne Emulator that someone graciously sent the roms to me (Not saying name just for his own safety -- feel free to PM me, or I'll PM you later, not sure on legalities of posting that sorta stuff in this emulation forum)
Anyways I am soooo close to getting it working. Long story short you have to make framefiles for each rom, along with renaming the xbe to default, and also loading up the images into the roms folder. It's going to take a while to get this to work, but im currently making an xiso of the emulator w/ mach 3, and once i get this puppy working, i'll start making discs for the rest. As far as I know NO ONE has gotten this to work, so if someone has please save me the grief and let me know!
I'll keep yall updated. It's 2am here, and if i get Mach 3 working on this try i'll prolly be up later to work on it some more, but if not, i'll just tinker with it some more tomorrow. I will defeat this demon! Muahahaahaha! _________________ Brandon Cossette

2:25 AM and I got Mach 3 running! Damn inverted controls is all I have to say! I'm horrible with inverted. Bah
I gotta see what the total size of all discs combined is, it looks like all these wouldn't fit on a dual layer, so i gotta organize this correctly so that everything works good on cd's, OR on hard drive. Laughing
I'll give you guys some more info on all of this tomorrow. _________________ Brandon Cossette

Another update: Since i can't fit all ROMS on the disk, i need to be able to edit the XPR file that contains all the "games list" so that I can have a custom game list for each cd, with those peticular game "pictures" for each one. I don't want there to be a bunch of corrupt image files on each emulator, because that just looks like shit, and I don't like shit. If anyone has any idea how to edit .XPR files let me know. Microsoft supposodly has a program to edit them called Expression 3 Graphic File, but i've yet to find a download for it.
Let me know guys, gimme some feedback.
2:48 AM: Okay im really going to bed now, it's snowing soon so hopefully classes will be canceled so I can get more of this done. Tooda-Loo. _________________ Brandon Cossette

I'm waiting on my next supply of 200 dvd-r's coming tomorrow so i can take some of these iso's of random stuff and take them off my computer. Man 100 gigs fills up quickly.
Im still trying to figure out how to edit that file format, since it's impossible to get all those daphne roms on one disk, so i'll have to be able to edit the pictures of the games for each menu. That looks to be a ways away yet.

Hey man, sorry I missed this thread.
Daphne emulates the old Laser Disk games. The most popular one is "Dragons Lair".
But, my all time favorite was "M.A.C.H. III" and a B1 Bomber one that unfortunately I couldnt' get.
Hey bcossette... I had lost your PM that you gave me with all the "to do's" on how to get my roms working... I still have the file you told me to download though...um, somewhere....lol.
But, anyway you could reshoot me those instructions to sales@themodgod.com??
Thanks man...I would have never got those roms working. I took one look at them and said, HELL NO... no time for that man....HA.

Hey Bud,
Yeah give me a couple hours here, and i'll shoot some more instructions over. I'll check my sent box, it should hopefully be there.
But yeah, let's just say soon im going to have a multi-disk auto installer of both the roms and the emulators, but I guess you'll all have to stay on the seat of your pants for that one. Very Soon! _________________ Brandon Cossette
