Better yet, now use the new Zip ROM format in v2.11.6 and you can put the files anywhere you like and don't have to worry about those Framework folders any longer..

I see most for the distributed stuff is now in the "Zip ROM" format. Makes singe style games a breeze  to install now. I'm going back through these games since shifting to 2.11.6.

Hi xxOToTOxx, i was looiking for the proto to use with Hypseus. I found it in I. A. i converted from LDF -> TBC -> MKV+PCM -> M2V + OGG. It works, but in this point it works, but when i try to play there's no order in scenes. May be a wrong DAT file or TXT or Bat. Could you share me yours, please? Thanks in advance!!!!!

I found these:

They have the framefile in the download.

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

Indeed, that would be an interesting exercise. 👍

This was a huge 60Gb+ download. it will have fallen well outside the free MEGA storage tier, so LizardKing had been carrying the cost for 5 years on this share. 

Thanks  ❤️LizardKing❤️ - this was a fantastic contribution, for those who have it.

I mean at the minutes 4:30 of the second video. But besides this the problem remains: if I can't view the white bars in video, how can I maintain the car away from them?

Then maybe this isn't a game for you 🤣

Hi guys,

someone please can tell me bat syntax in order to change the position, the blending and the size of an hud/overlay in hypseus?

 

Which are the commands?

 

-blend_hud ? -overlay_position ?  -overlay_size ? 

 

Something like this? Thanks

All commands are in the docs:

Thanks Nosoucy and thanks Hoagie.

 

For Hoagie:

exactly: the flashing block is for hit detection: you are supposed to maintain the car car in the black block between the flashes so that the counter in the upper left doesn't diminish (or diminish as little as possible). And in the end of the vhs (so to speak) wins (against yourself or others) who maintains the counter as nearest as possible at 100 (it a decremental counter not incremental, unlike of most  the totality of games).

After this premise the problem is this: in order to do so I MUST VIEW the flashes to maintain the car in the middle: it's part of the game in order to -play well- (so to speak) or otherwise it's like playing Thayer's quest without the buttons: you simply don't know what you are doing or what you have to do.

 

There is a way to view or put back the entire screen pixel footage while gaming?

Show me when you see the flashing bars on the real game ?

Look pretty invisible to me (excluding the angles to show them deliberately):

Hi Nosoucy, this adaption of videodriver in hypseus, has the original flashing block at the bottom of the screen? I only see the fullscreen video (without the black bar with the occasional flashes on the bottom) and the car with the brake icon. Is supposed to work without flashes? And to change the car sprite, I have to do that manually in the zip file? Thanks for the work

Press 9 to get the Service Menu where you can change car:

The flashing block is in the video and used for crash detection as per the original game, view them in VLC you can see.

You just don't see them in the game as they are cleverly hidden.

Sorry for the noob question but is there a full up to date list of all supported Games Please and is there one place to Download the Games from 

Beware there is "fan" written schlop and "shovelware" out there.

You have all the Daphne Games + Stern's Goal to Go with many improvements in other games - see the DLP site for ROM's and info.

Refer to the Hypseus GitHub pages (below) for the list of LUA based games, they are mostly sanity checked and exclude the schlop.

https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus_singe_data

Also, there is a great Hypseus Discord server full of info.

I think you are getting the wrong end of the stick. I've not dissed anybody's work at all, I appreciate it, but had a question over it.

You are not gonna get an answer on why it is the way it is, I don't think. It seemed to work best at the time of writing, is probably the best answer.

Apologies if that was your real question, I just get a real grumpy old git when everyone is asking - "Can you make? ", "Here's an idea for a game" and "Will you fix..."  when they have no intention of contributing anything themselves

On the mega link, DLe, loads and plays fine.

 

However the skeleton to Dirk respawn scene appears in-between every level, it's not like this in other versions or the arcade, wondering why here?

 

Pressing 9 gives options and you can select in graphic options, extra movies, - ready or none. Switching to none turns the scenes off in-between levels, but it then doesn't show the respawn sequence at all when you die?

 

An error or a deliberate change due to loading the scenes? 

 

Is there a similar version with available options that plays similar to the arcade, but in HD quality like here?

 

Many thanks 

If you want the Arcade version, then FFS sake play the Arcade version via the arcade ROM emulation - 'lair' or get arcade+ with 'dle21'

If you want HD video find LizardKing's video for the Daphne emulations game. It's the best there is.

If you don't like Karis' version but wanna play LUA simulation, then change it - theses games are all created by fans.

Don't diss Karis's decisions if you can't be bothered to attempt learning and writing games yourself.

anyone have .bat files for the warriors jeeg or golddrake? or any idea how to run them, Im missing something.

https://tinyurl.com/ginosodano

These are really simple .bat files, just replace <game> with the name of the game:
 

..\hypseus.exe singe vldp -framefile singe\<game>\<game>.txt -script singe\<game>\<game>.singe -fullscreen

PAUSE

So:

..\hypseus.exe singe vldp -framefile singe\jeeg\jeeg.txt -script singe\jeeg\jeeg.singe -fullscreen
PAUSE


..\hypseus.exe singe vldp -framefile singe\goldrake\goldrake.txt -script singe\goldrake\goldrake.singe -fullscreen
PAUSE

.....

Add any extra arguments you want to the end, after -fullscreen

Im in the discord and searched, couldnt find anything, if anyone has any instructions it would be greatly appreciated

What did the guys in Discord say? I didn't see you raise a conversation? But you expect people 👉"here"👈 to have an answer.

You will have better luck asking there I think.

So regarding the 2 player mods, my PC lightgun setup is 2 separate sensor bars and two wii motes/guns) so when i attempt to press start on the 2nd controller it registers the start button on the first one instead....thus beginning a single player only game.  Not sure how to get the 2nd Wii Mote to work with the game

In the Discord server someone got this working a while ago. Might be worth checking in there. Search "Lichtknarre" in the Discord for the whole discussion.

GP World
Badlands
Bega's Battle
Galaxy Ranger
Goal to Go
Interstellar Laser Fantasy

These are all Daphne games, I just found 5 or 6 archive.org repos with them all, roms and video/audio, all ready to work using the Hypseus repo bat files.

For the HD/4k video conversions, you are best searching through the threads on this forum.

don't work with hypseus 2.....

error "hypseus2.exe"

Where on this earth did you get "hypseus2.exe" from ? Just use the bat files from the release zips. Don't make things up

Links are all long gone. Just make the move to Hypseus: https://mega.nz/folder/wfYUxD6Z#x5_qWOpO0h5W1g6XWWK7FQ

Why doesn't it work? I get the following message:

 

Bad command line or initialization problem (see daphne.log.txt for details). To run DAPHNE, you must specify which game to run and which laserdisc player you are using. For example, try 'daphne lair noldp' to run Dragon's Lair in testing mode.

Why the hell are you still trying to use Dapnhe? - lol

"I want to clarify that I am falsely accused based on suspicions without concrete evidence. The message shared on the forum is a mistake, and I did not participate in leaking the game. I request an apology for this false public accusation and also request the removal of these defamatory allegations. Thank you."

You had no issue blaming @Mike n Britteny with what you KNEW to be false evidence above. So why should we believe you now?

The circumstantial evidence against you mounts up to a far more convincing argument.

My statement stands: @BLADESCATER leaked the unfinished game without admitting any ownership and manipulated @memphiselle into believing it had been stolen.

If you hadn't broken the relationships with all the other devs, through your lies, you might have someone to back you up. 

The evidence against you is now collaborated by several parties.

Protest all you want.
