I am curious to see how well this works and if it's worth doing road blasters again to see if it can keep the original frame rate. https://github.com/k4yt3x/video2x-qt6?tab=readme-ov-file

Hey @Nit3H8wk - long time no hear. That Topaz Road Blaster video of yours is still pretty damn good. But this is also an interesting route. Please let us know if, and or how, turns out. Should you try it.

Might as well post this here too, as it's an appropriate thread:

apparently all title of first Dragon's Lair not contain the option/service menù.. this is present only in Dragon's Lair 2.

 

However, I downloaded these same videos some time ago.

I just tried them by enabling the B7 dipswitch (which activates the prototype game mode using the dle2.1 ROM), but it doesn't seem to work:

When Hypsus starts, the initial boot screens appear, then I see Dirk die in a loop and the game doesn't work.

I have no idea if it is caused by dle21.txt, which may need to be corrected somewhere.

These rips are just the early standard 1983 laserdisc footage.

For the prototype footage you need the 2002 Limited Edition Dragon's Lair Laserdisc.

You need to hunt that disc down. It's out there on Internet Archive but not upscaled.

See here to watch the prototype running:

Ughhh,

First question, why are you not using the ZIP ROM and resorting to uncompromising all those files, what you should be using is not -script  but: 

-zlua singe\marbvice\marbvice.zip

But apart from that, the arguments look fine, provided your bezel and screen ratio calculations are correct. 

If you're already in the Discord, better to check with the Sinden guys (who wrote the game) there.

How the heck do you get video in correct aspect ratio to fit within bezel with the widescreen scaled bezel for sinden and then have the cursor line up properly?  what command line are you guys using? 

Sinden Specifics

Provided you are keeping the video intact at 4:3 or 3:4 - adding a bezel with a 16:9 border. The following will work:

On 4:3 games
 

-xratio 1.33 -scalefactor 97

For 3:4 games like fastdraw use:

-xratio 2.37 -scalefactor 97

You can change -scalefactor to suit your needs to fit the video window neatly inside the bezel space - preventing loss of video edges.

-xratio is the ratio difference calculation between 16:9 and 4:3 or 3:4. If your screen ratio is 16:10, you would need a different value.

Example: (16/9) / (4/3) = 1.33333
         (16/9) / (3/4) = 2.37037

oh thanks.  How you change anything in the service menu?  I couldnt figure out the keys.

I assume you know it's 9 to enter the Service Menu then use the mouse/gun to navigate - just like any other singe based Gun game.

Marbella Vice -  I am getting pausing after shooting that I did not get with WinUAE.

Yep, as @CharlieChan says set it to extreme if you want no pauses.

This version of the game has difficulty levels that give you increased amounts of time for the shot based on difficulty levels and respective pauses.

New Hypseus version: 2.11.5 is available and with it some announcements:

Conan - Future Boy

Ciao e grazie, purtroppo anche questa versione ha livello Anaconda che non funziona, il livello dovrebbe avere 7 mosse per superarlo ma anche questa ha solo 1 mossa.

Someone passed this to me and I added the missing level moves back in.

What is the error in this code, and how can it be fixed?

 

It looks like something slipped into the 2p maddog-hd game that requires v2.11.3 - I see you are not running that version, so updating to the latest release should fix it.

But also check that maddog.cfg file and delete it so a fresh one is recreated.

Hey, you don't appear to be using the latest Hypseus, but that should not cause this issue.

Are you certain that you only have files from the latest maddog game release?

Can you start by deleting the maddog.cfg file and allowing the game to create a fresh config.

If this doesn't fix it, you may have better help in the Discord: https://discord.gg/dgCsCfmRfJ

@nosoucy62 - The -oversize_overlay argument is obsolete now. It won't work on recent versions of Hypseus.

The granddaddy of ALG shooting games gets a 2 player release.

Many further enhancements to other 2 player games too. Including the shotgun in LBH....

5x "Captain Power" games are now released and available.

Windows .bat files for these games are included in the Hypseus v2.11.3 release zips.

You will need Hypseus v2.11.3 for these games: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe/releases/tag/v2.11.3
