And for those waiting, i'll try to relase the full Fire & Ice game tonight.

The old Tron movie or the remake ? It's a brilliant idea. Right now i've got several quick plans (DL2) but afterwards i may look to another movie. I had one in mind but i must find it first. Tron is a good plan...

Thank you. But i can assure you that it's even better with 5 more levels. Yesterday evening i finally dealt with the last big bug (some troubles with double actions). So i'm pretty sure i will post the complete thing mid-september.

Please try it ! I would really love to play one of your creations !

I will provide a guide for this, but the answer is : with the notepad (a more advanced notepad like Sublime Text, which is free, is better) Honestly, for a simple video (not 45 minutes, like i did) it's quite easy to create a game (and doing it with a simple text editor is fun too because it's really old school). Entering the moves is the funny part and it's quite quick. The "dirty work" is made in other singe files. And i can assure you that when you launch your own game on Daphne for the first time and see just your intro scene playing, it's quite a blast !

It's not a long lost game. I did it from scratch because i knew that in this particular cartoon, there was a lot of action. To be honest, i remembered it from childhood, particularly the tree scene. When i thought about it i said to myself : that's it, this is your FMV game. So i found it on Youtube and began the work (i then ordered the Blu Ray for better quality). The tree scene was easy to make (apart for programming) but then i realized that it would be quite a task because it's a real movie, with dialogs, a story, etc. So editing was the main part. I had to shorten (from 80 to 40 minutes) a lot, but that led to 2 problems : 1) i needed people to understand the story despite the editing. 2) i needed the sound (music particularly) to flow despite the cuts. Then i realized i could put all the gaming parts in a single file and that it could help people to make their own game. I hope it'll be the case. When i had this idea i found almost no documentation on singe, so it was not easy to understand the whole thing. But, thanks to RDG, i found a way. I put a lot of comments in my setupgame.singe file. Normally it will help. In the end i learned a lot, especially in Adobe Premiere

You're welcome. All of you. It's cool to see that there is still a community for those games, and i'm really happy to add a little stone to this wall. Fire & Ice was a great movie. Maybe not the best scenario, but the animations, musics and the backgroud paintings are just gorgeous. It would have been a great FMV game and maybe some people will discover the movie this way...

If you're interested, you can check my setupgame.singe. I commented a lot. The rest of the game will be uploaded later this month.

Yeah i did not checked that but you can access the menu with the key 9. In the menu you can change many things (starting level, starting scene, difficulty). All the controls for keyboard and pad are explained in the menu if you hit Ctrl or Button A on the pad.

You push the Action button repeatedly (and fast). The number depends on the difficulty level. Note that in Easy mode, there are no Mash or Double Actions (they are replaced by Action).

Thank you guys, After Fire & Ice, i've got plans with Cliffhanger. Well maybe.

Thank you, You won't be disappointed by the 5 remaining levels. Action is rising all along the movie!

Hello everybody, I recently released Space Ace and DL2 on this forum and talked about a secret project. Well, here it is...now COMPLETE. This is a new game for Daphne (Laserdisc emulator), using the SINGE engine. The game is based on the movie Fire & Ice (1983) by Ralph Bakshi and based on the work of Frank Frazetta. The finished project features: - 40 minutes of movie (33 minutes of play) - 500 moves (about the same as DL and DL2 together). - Advanced actions (like Mash or Double moves) - Difficulty levels (if you choose easy mode, there are no advanced actions, but you'll miss part of the fun). - Kid mode (only action button) - Movie mode (just watch) Cherry on the cake : i based my work on the conversion of the game Time Traveller by RDG (many thanks to him) but i modded the files a lot. So, now, everything you need to create your own FMV Game is located on a single file (setupgame.singe), and you need absolutely no programming skills to do it ! I've provided a blank file (setupgameblank.singe) if you want to try and i will release a guide along with the complete game. I hope some people will try it but, before this, try the game ! There are 2 versions 16/9 (original format) and 4/3 (with black bars, but it will work on all non 16/9 screens). It's quite big cause the videos are in high quality. The game is ready to play, just unzip the link, and click on the bat file inside the directory Daphne For the controls, just hit Ctrl on your keyboard or A on the pad to have some explanations. For the menu, hit 9.

Singe 2.0 is now available. Please check this link :

Yeah that's what i said (but in french sorry). Opengl driver is experimental in Daphne (and Daphne is static since many years). It works in 720P, not 1080P. So i recommend 720P cause colors are better with opengl IMHO. That said i play on a 4K monitor and 720P is still great, so we can live without 1080P... Maybe Daphne will be updated at some point by someone (i think the sources are available on Github) but let's not forget that the point of the author was to replace existing LD players in real cabinets, so i think it might be against their philosophy. I had some hopes with the Retroarch port of Daphne, but it's not working really well actually and quite old too i think. Wait and see (or maybe one day i'll crack and take a look at the sources, but i suspect it'll be time consuming).

I think HVG released it on this site (HD version). I launched the game only once but i'm pretty sure it was in english. Did you tried this one ?

Almost done. Probably a bit brighter without the grain. We'll see. By the way i noticed that the intro file is sometimes a bit darker that the rest. The game is bright enough i think (it's direct from the BRD)

Bonjour à tous ! Comme promis, après Space Ace, voici la version HD 4/3 de DL2 : Timewarp. Tout est identique : jeu prêt à jouer, 2 versions en 720P et 1080P (lancez le fichier bat de votre choix sachant que le 720 est opengl) et je travaille sur une version sans grain pour les amateurs. Les contrôle sont identiques à ceux de Space Ace à l'exception du choix du niveau qui n'existe pas ici. DL2 est sûrement le plus difficile de la série, mais aussi le plus gratifiant et le plus fou. Alors bon jeu ! _________________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE Update. Singe 2.0 is now available. Please check this link :

You're welcome ! Thank to you for DL HD and Mad Dog

Yeah i just checked and it's available.

J'avoue que moi-même j'y ai assez peu joué à l'époque, parce que j'étais jeune et que c'était un sacré mange fric Mais j'ai gardé une fascination pour ces bornes et je passe beaucoup de temps sur Daphné. Je travaille même sur un petit projet secret que j'espère bien partager ici un de ces jours... Petite note : sur le forum tu peux trouver une version de DL en HD 4/3 par HVG et d'excellentes versions en 720*480 de DL, DL2 et SA par Dex77. Il a également fait Cliffhanger qui est à mon sens le meilleur du genre hors de la série DL/SA. Merci à eux deux !

Bonjour à tous, Fervent lecteur de ce forum, je vous propose une version concoctée par mes soins de Space Ace en 4/3 (pour rappel, les versions en 16/9 sont découpées et donc moins "complètes"), tournant sur l'émulateur de Laserdisc Daphné. Tout cela est en 24 fps (le format original de l'animation). Mega Le lien contient deux versions du jeu en 720P et 1080P. Personnellement, je vous conseille le 720P. La différence de qualité est vraiment minime (je joue sur un moniteur 4K, rien de perceptible) et vous profitez ainsi du driver opengl, qui ne fonctionne pas en 1080, et rend des couleurs plus profondes. C'est du prêt à jouer : il suffit de dézipper et de cliquer sur le bat de votre choix (sae720.bat ou sae1080.bat) et normalement vous jouerez à Space Ace en HD. Le jeu s'appuie sur la Rom sae (Space Ace Advanced, la meilleure pour découvrir tous les aspects du jeu) et propose un choix de niveau en début de jeu. Les fichiers bat intègrent les bons réglages pour les dip switches du jeu. Au niveau des commandes, au clavier : Crédits : 5 Start : 1 Haut/Bas/Gauche/Droite : Pavé directionnel Action : Control gauche Choix du niveau Facile : w Choix du niveau Moyen : x (commence automatiquement si vous ne touchez rien après Start) Choix du niveau Difficile : z Quitter : Esc Sur un pad 360 : Crédits : Back Start : Start Haut/Bas/Gauche/Droite : Croix directionelle Action : Bouton A Choix du niveau Facile : Left Bumper Choix du niveau Moyen : ne rien toucher après avoir appuyé sur Start Choix du niveau Difficile : Right Bumper Quitter : Right Thumb Note : le choix du niveau se fait pendant les quelques secondes où le jeu "bippe" après Start. Le niveau de difficulté ne fait pas varier la vitesse de réaction, mais le nombre de séquences à parcourir pour arriver à la fin. Ainsi en difficile, on traverse tous les chemins. S'il y a des questions je tâcherai d'y répondre et, normalement, Dragon's Lair II devrait suivre sous peu... Bon jeu ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOUVEAU FICHIER Je viens juste d'ajouter un nouveau fichier (à dézipper dans le répertoire Daphné). C'est une version 720P retravaillée où le grain naturel du film (issu du BRD) est atténué (voir l'exemple ci-dessous). Le grain n'est pas une mauvaise chose en soi, c'était plus une expérience qu'autre chose (mais ce fut long), je laisse donc à chacun l'occasion de tester et de décider ce qu'il préfère. S'il y a des demandes, je ferai la version 1080P de la même manière. J'ai réglé le filtre de manière vraiment légère de manière à ne pas dénaturer le film. PS : désolé je ne parviens pas à mettre les images d'exemple en plus gros, du coup ce n'est pas très parlant... NEW FILE I just added a new file (unzip in the Daphne directory). This is a 720P version, with the natural grain of the movie attenuated (see below) The grain is not a bad thing, it was just an experiment for me (though a long one), so i let each one test and decide which version is better. If there are demands, i'll do the 1080P version the same way. The filter setting is really light in order to preserve the movie. PS: sorry i can't put bigger sample images. So my example is not so great... 720NOgrain
