@BLADESCATER - Leaked this game !!!! Let @Mike n Britteny take the blame for content he passed on without consent and no name attached for him to complete. I think we need an apology here, not only for screwing @memphiselle but for throwing public blame and shame on @Mike n Britteny Don't support @BLADESCATER

Fantastic video for LaunchBox users:

I think it is more accurate to say Hypseus is an upgraded version of the Daphne engine, with Singe support thrown in. hypseus lair vldp -framefile vldp/lair/lair.txt -fastboot -scorebezel hypseus ace vldp -framefile vldp/ace/ace.txt -fastboot -dedannunbezel Will get you the basics with the video/audio and framefiles from sirdrak here.

Why is everyone talking about Singe? These are Daphne video files. They play perfect in Daphne/Hypseus using the lair, dle21, ace, sae and lair2 ROMS - and are very nice encodes

This sounds more like an issue with Retrobat than Hypseus - most users launch from .bat files. Singe 1 games were already several m2v files, you have the wrong video source, try archive.org

Use the Service Menu - Press 9 on the keyboard once the game has loaded.

Nope, ffmpeg keeps the frame rate of the original, as it should. You don't do anything except what is in the example. I have the Singe 1 (00-singe1 folder) and Singe 2 Timegal (00-singe2 folder) games setup and the video details for each are: timegal.m2v - 65537 (Singe 1) Video/timegal.m2v - 56441 (Singe 2) The FPS for both is 29.970 according to the mediainfo tool.

It's not pik'n'mix - all the singe files are in the repo you listed above: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus_singe_data If you start mixing files up, who knows what state you will end up. Get the repo zip, then find, or recode, the required video/audio - that's it. I have all the Singe 1, HD Gun Games on a Sinden RPi and Singe 2 conversations on the Windows PC from that repo. If you want it handed to you on a plate, then Singe2 still wins, but for the bells and whistles, and new Daphne games, you need to read up a little. Note: There are 3 different versions of TimeGal in the repo, maybe the video you have is from a different version?

lol - nobody ever listens to me, so I just go grumpy old man..... 🤐

Forget Singe for these games, you need to use the Daphne `dle21` and `sae` ROMS in a Daphne load. The M2V files for these have excellent upscales on this forum: https://www.emuline.org/topic/1320-arcade-pc-space-ace-dragons-lair-ac-brd-remastered-laserdisc/ https://www.emuline.org/topic/2053-arcade-pc-daphne-4k-60fps-remastered-and-complete-laserdisc-arcade-collection/ Then load the ROMS as Daphne games something like this: hypseus.exe dle21 vldp -framefile vldp/lair/lair.txt -scorebezel ... hypseus.exe sae vldp -framefile vldp/ace/ace.txt -annunbezel .... Get the dle21.zip and sae.zip from any of the Daphne archives. Put them in the "roms" folder.

It's actually quite fun once you learn the moves, but importantly another classic laserdisc preserved. The pre-release download link seems to have disappeared now though..... ?

Ah ok, then this is the most famously arcade "Dragon's Lair" and "MadDog McCree" style of game.

That's what Daphne/Singe games are ? Originally "laserdisc" movie QTA games ? Thanks for this, plays sweet, I need a nice bezel for the hypseus version now....

Starship Troopers !!! Gimme, gimme, gimme........ Great works thanks..

Thanks, please let us know when you have fixed this game played by 100's, no possibly 1000's, of users. All of us not noticing it's broken. Thanks for highlighting this, appreciated 👍

For MAME? Everything you need to know is here: http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=firefox

What's this BS? I'm obviously talking to a millennial who believes they are converse in the classics, rather than being there and seeing them play on real hardware, or can't be bothered to research them... You are even contradicting yourself: Broken or not broken, make your mind up ? There is no Singe comparison in this conversation, we are talking Singe 2 <> Daphne. Do you understand the fundamental differences here: emulation/simulation ? Tells me everything I need to know. Little point in continuing this conversation... Erm... more inaccuracies, let's not go there...... Thanks for your response.

Or from a Discord I belong to: It's personal preference, I agree with above....

This also appeared on the Discord 🤩 multimousetest.mp4

Yeah, learn about Daphne `-bank` arguments. Space Ace level is selected via controller buttons KEY_SKILL? at play start:

This looks interesting: The guy is writing a frontend: https://github.com/cdurbin1970/HypseusFE

Seems lots of daphne has disappeared from here. I used this: Daphne_data.torrent

Did you try the main site ? https://kangaroopunch.com/software/singe

Thanks for these, I will be trying on a new RetroPie setup.

On one of the early levels I used to get if you miss a move the game ignores the next moves and you can't play any more.
