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.

@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

As I understand it, Hypesus is just an upgraded/updated version of the Singe emulator.  I may be wrong about that though.  But if Lair and Space Ace run in Hypseus, I can't seem to get my existing batch files to launch them correctly...has anyone got proper batch files they might share?  Roms I have covered.  I think I only need those two, since Lair 2 has a full-on Hypseus port I have working fine.

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

I even configured the laserdisc to read the frame file from the Dragons Lair folder and it still loads and plays - so Retrobat is not getting the information from Daphne Loader and I presume why the bank address entered is not working

 

Anyone else had this problem?  I just have my 2 .ogg and .m2v files in there and roadblaster.txt (1  roadblaster.m2v) deleted the .dat file to ensure all clear on a restart, but same problem

This sounds more like an issue with Retrobat than Hypseus - most users launch from .bat files.

1.  Hologram Time Traveller.  00-singe1 folder has timetraveler.txt showing several dvd/vrts__xx_1.m2v files.  I downloaded Time Traveller mp4, converted as normal and just get the 1 x m2v file?

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.

Opened up powershell and this where I get stuck.  I typed this in:

 

ffmpeg -i timegal.mp4 -an -qscale:v 4 -b:v 6000k -codec:v mpeg2video timegal.m2v

 

This converts the file to an m2v - but am I supposed to enter the frame rate somewhere? Where?

 

Under Conversion inhttps://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus_singe_data/tree/master#conversion I am struggling with

 

But closer!

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.

Timegal.singe (3.32b by Karis) downloaded from hypseus singe data master.  Zip file holds 00 sing1, 2, singe ports gun games, singe2 ports and 00 tools

 

I took this .singe file from 00 singe2

 

I tried using the .singe file from -- sing2 ports (timegal-hd.singe)

 

renaming it just to timegal.singe, but script errors in log then?  Changed MYDIR and dofile from "singe/timegal-hd/" and "main.singe" to  "timegal/" and "timegal.singe")

 

Then got the following error in the log:

 

SINGE: error compiling script: timegal.daphne/timegal.singe:21: chunk has too many syntax levels

 

I am guessing this is more of a .singe / script issue?

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?

Forgive me for asking... Can anyone share dragon's lair 1 and space ace (4:3) that are 'hypseus ready'

I have tried using non MP4 re-encoded daphne versions (dl-states.m2v, etc)

I just cannot get it to work. I would like Dragon's Lair Enhanced and Space Ace Enhanced with coin-ops bezels and scoreboards (just like DL2e)

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.

I have. It took the place of Cliff Hanger in my local arcade. It never got much attention.

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.

I downloaded the "Game" is like a movie game from sega cd o 3do 

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....

Here is the problem.  Many deaths with correct moves and lives decrease.  Can someone make a better version?

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 👍
