I now need the Space ace m2v and ogg 1080p for Daphne. if anyone has it, I got all good official versions of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace cd-roms and dvd-rom to trade. except for the blu-rays. I still don't have those.

EDIT. NEVERMIND. I'm doing something better than this set-up. about done with DL and doing Ace next

I started work on an upscaled version of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace about a month ago then discovered I was beaten to it by Sirdrak (thank you).

 

I thought there may be something more I could do here so I upscaled the deep learning versions to 4K using waifu2x-caffe and produced some HD 60fps versions too (with FFMPEG).

 

I added a little custom desktop front end which allows easy launching, decent configuration (including spanish audio and widescreen) and command line support.

 

I then upscaled Thayer's quest, although the source video was not great and I also added the remastered version of Cliff Hanger, tested it all and with the front end, cleaned it all up and bundled it altogether in an easy to use ISO and here it is:

I wanted to share this and I feel many will like it.

 

Basically these are the first 4K versions of Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Thayers Quest, and Dragon's Lair 2. Nobody else has seen them other than me. Those are the only 4 games in Daphne capable of running at other resolutions. Since the remastered SD version of Cliff Hanger is the only other good quality video I decided to add that too.

 

I'm not regularly involved on this site but this looked like the best place to release it. I am not regularly using Mega either so the link is probably only good for a month. Rehost If you like.

 

Some feedback would be nice, and enjoy.

 

Credit to Sirdrak here. Its all because of him.

 

 

------------------------------

 

Updated 2020-10-26

- New redone 60fps versions using highest settings.

- Cliff Hanger will now play in 16:19 if the aspect ration/widescreen option is set.

 

 

------------------------------

 

Updated 2020-10-31

- Huge update.

- Now includes every arcade laserdisc game including AML and arcade singe. This is now a complete laserdisc arcade collection.

- I realize the download is huge but I believe this is a good release and I do not personally have a problem with what is done with it. If you complain be prepared to be told to go f*ck yourself!

- I removed the 14 pixel border from Cliff Hanger

- Cliffhanger 60fps version.

- New setting to make widescreen (16:0) look better by stretching slightly vertically. I tend to not like 4:3 myself.

- Batch files now included for all games. Easy to see how to launch from another frontend

 

------------------------------

 

Updated 2020-11-25

- To maintain full compatibility with front ends, cobraab is now properly accepted as command line argument.

 

------------------------------

 

Updated 2021-01-22

- Small update to Daphne 4k.exe - Adds Us Vs. Them to other games and renames Star Blazer to StarBlazer. Note that Starblazer is a clone of Galaxy Ranger and not the same as the Singe game which was not an arcade game hence not included,

- Links are all still valid and working. The Mega account is paid up until end of the summer.

------------------------------

 

Updated 2021-02-24

- Star Blazers (Singe 1) by Karis and Famawizard has been added. Starblazer which is just the Japanese version of Galaxy Ranger has been removed to avoid confusion. Star Blazers was in fact in the arcades but only in Japan,

- New reverse uip/down keyboard controls option. This only affects mach 3, galaxy ranger, astron belt, and cobra command. These games used a kind of flight stick in the arcades and up down was reversed. To me, it seemed like a useful option and makes playing these games more logical and playable on a keyboard or joystick. Link updated.

------------------------------

 

Updated 2020-04-14

 

- I had another go at Thayer's Quest and there is a new 4K (1440p) version included in this. I used MadVR and captured the output. Resulting in something very decent in my opinion considering the LaserDisc capture is quite bad. If anyone has a lossless copy of the LD I would love to have another go at this. Still currently this is the best out there with Daphne at this point. I split the VOB into two parts as Daphne will not work with a video over 2GB. This allows a 1440P version with a reasonable quality MPEG2.

- Since I had good results with Thayer's quest I ran Cobra Command through MADVR and am calling this an HQ version which is also included. Daphne does not allow an upscaled version of this game but in my opinion this version looks better. Again, if someone has a better LD capture I would be happy to have another go but cant do a lot with Daphne. Maybe someone can make a Singe 2 version?

- This version utilizes the bezel project and works similar I guess to Rocketlauncher (although I did not look at it or the code) if you want this option. I have an outstanding issue with the ALT key pausing/unpausing the game when using Bezels and not sure how to fix that right now. Its because Daphne is running in a window. If anyone wants to help fix let me know.

 

 

 

thanks, but 62 GB without split rars and maybe even par files?

Well... has anyone else tried this dl3 on dvd?

 

I have to say it's great in dvd, but i ran into a problem, with two dvd players, wmp and vlc, it seems the keys don't work, i don't even hear the keypress sounds.... so if anyone else has tried it they can confirm if it works

 

Thanks

This is my 1080p /720p 4x3 version of Dragon's lair (on daphne emu). It is made from the 2006 released HD PC versions of Dragon's Lair, with the original 4x3 aspect ratio. 
You need a graphic card with Opengl support and enough memory.

To run the game just double click the .bat file and go. 

There’s two .bat versions;  

- dle11_720P.bat : 1280x720 4x3 resolution

- dle11_1080P.bat : 1920x1080 4x3 resolution

Folder size: 3.22 Gb.

My 2006 hd pc one is in widescreen only. where did you get 4x3? Do you mean maybe the hd dvd version?  see bottom of post below. its a wmv of the intro from my pc iso. widescreen. No 4x3 version on the disc.

also can you re-up? they have been removed. thanks.

EDIT: nvm. you got the 4:3's from the 2006 dvd-roms. If someone has the space ace m2v for daphne, I would like it. I will share with you the original ISO's of DL and SA. Thanks.

Hello folks, 

Since I received some requests I edited this post adding also DL, so here it is... 

SPACE ACE + DRAGON'S LAIR Bluray remastered, 4:3 ratio, SD (Standard Definition)

they come without Daphne so just grab it and choose where to place it (ROMS and FRAMEFILES are stored in the game main folder).

 

I added also the usual CD layout in HD, have a blast!!

 

PS.

These versions are meant to be played on an original cabinet.

 

PPS.

In case you are wondering how to make it work please check the Daphne official forum!

MANY THANX to Stuart2773 for the discovery and for resampling the track!! 

 

A late thanks for these, but these games are not movie length long. you could have easily re-encoded these in 1080p or at least 720p in under  1GB per file.

Why did you go 480p?

please do them in 1080p.

I have the 2006 720p pc version. it is widescreen cant find the other two. these were remastered. but the blu-ray's were remastered even more!

See article excerpt below:

In the late 2006, Digital Leisure released "Dragon's Lair HD", which features an all-new High-Definition transfer from the original negatives (as opposed to just sourcing the laserdisc). The original mono soundtrack has also been remastered into Dolby Digital 5.1 sound (on PCs that can support it). On April 9, 2007, a Blu-ray version of Dragon's Lair was released. This uses the same HD transfer as the aforementioned PC release, but went through a 6-month process to clean and remaster the image. Dragon's Lair Blu-ray is the first title to fully utilize BD-J technology. In 2013, Dragon's Lair was released on Steam via Steam Greenlight. This iteration of Dragon's Lair features 720p remastered video, remastered game footage, and bonus content.

Attached is the non re-encoded 720 wmv intro from the game iso: enjoy.

Even if this discussion dates a little

A great MERCI for this Windows version and as I prefer to use Linux, I broke my head to make the Dragon's lair HD 720P file for the Daphne emulator which also works under Windows and others ...

Just replace the video file. "lair.m2v "

Here is the link : https://mega.nz/#!jNJVmDYD!dbJxWGoHA3tVO-POPJoDBWqpfywKOyLG_8ILBvtB_48

Here is the command line to launch it:

daphne Lair vldp -opengl -ignore_aspect_ratio -x 1280 -y 720 -fullscreen -noserversend -fastboot -useoverlaysb 2

If I have time I may do the other 2: -)

Good game

Thanks but I downloaded it. It is  clearly re-encode. and not just because you slapped your name / logo at the beginning, but it is not as crisp as my 720 2006 pc version, which is great.

Thanks a lot for the work. I know it's an old post, but I just got these. I may run them through a color correction in Adobe PP. too saturated and skin colors way off. even Dirk's white clothes are discolored. not sure why you did that. Where you trying to make Dirk and Dexter brown because your spanish?
