Daphne Emulator

While configuring my recently built Mame machine using the GameEx front end application, I came across settings for a Daphne emulation application. Going to their website at www.daphne-emu.com I quickly found out that this emulator allows you to play the vintage "LaserDisk" games that came out in the early 1980's. This immediately brought back memories of trying to beat Dragon's Lair!

After reading the list of requirements to set up a laserdisk game for my Mame machine I found that you can still order the games from www.digitalleisure.com. I ordered the three disk set which took a couple of weeks to arrive. The disks can be played on a standard DVD player right out of the box. My desire was to transfer the content to the PC in the Mame machine... To do this you need to use an application called "DVD2DAPH". The application will take the video content from the DVD and transfer it to your hard disk as Mpeg content.

Once Daphne was installed and the mpeg files were in place, I only needed to configure the emulator, obtain the roms, and I was off and running!
