[Arcade PC] Freedom Fighter Singe Edition (LaserDisc)

[niotanigami191]

Man....it's been a hot minute since I played this.  I was floored when I saw the attract scene.  You're the man famawizard =)

 

I always look forward to your releases of these games.  Someone could easily just "emulate" it, but you always go a step beyond.

 

Thanks for the memories guy

 

Cheers

I think it is an old version of daphne, of which there is a picture of this game in its list to start it, but now in the updated version, it is no longer in the list to start it, so what do I do?

Hi,
in the archive of my version of this game you will find the right daphne/singe version.
Please, use that version.

Having worked on the Daphne source code recently, I don't think you have an old version of Daphne, it's ancient. Freedom Fighter was tested in Daphne with game code 'ffr' but never worked.

 

@famawizard's  version is Singe, not Daphne, so you need to use a completely different Daphne version with Singe support. As advised there is a version within the archive, or use one of the modern Singe engines.

Ok,thanks.... but i know, how much before... so what should i use?

First you need to understand that Singe is a different emulation of game data to Daphne. The first Singe version was added as a 'plugin' to Daphne, and looking at your image of the files, you have 'singe.dll' which is the plugin to Daphne so this version should/will work.

 

Now, in order to use the original Daphne version of Singe you have to give it the correct arguments, which will always begin with:

daphne.exe singe vldp -framefile ... -script ...

If you have 'freedomfighter' folder in the daphne folder, then the arguments include the main .singe file of the game and framefile, and become:

daphne.exe singe vldp -opengl -x 1600 -y 1200 -fullscreen_window -noserversend -volume_vldp 64 -volume_nonvldp 32 -sound_buffer 2048 -framefile freedomfighter/ff.txt -script singe/freedomfighter/setupgame_mouse.singe

There are lots of arguments here, but famawizard has prepared this for you, and put the arguments into a windows .bat file called 'freedomfighter.bat'. So you just run that.

 

If you want to understand what each argument does then you are going to have to do some Googling, most are Daphne specific, some are for the Singe plugin.

 

Here is a good place to start for Daphne parts: http://www.daphne-emu.com/mediawiki/index.php/CmdLine

 

Daphne and Singe are notoriously difficult to understand until you use them and experiment. Which is why most of the developers simply supply a .bat file.

 

However, for real enjoyment you should take some time to understand these arguments as there are many, many incredible games on this site you can play, and configure, once you master.

 

Footnote: Daphne and Singe code has been around for a decade or more and uses older software libraries that don't work great on modern operating systems. Hence the release of newer versions of Singe (Singe 2: Just improved Singe no Daphne) and Daphne Singe (Hypseus Singe: With Daphne support) which uses up-to-date graphics libraries and improved features. However most still use the same command line driven interfaces, so the above statement still stands.

 

Good luck.

I ran into this also.  If you edit the file "fai.cfg" in the main freedomfighter folder, change the "dip_StartLevel" to 1.

Edit:
UPDATE
Ahhh found another config file in the same directory, game.cfg, where dip_StartLevel was 8 not 1 like fai.cfg, so changed it there and it seems to have worked, and is playing alright now.

If it helps. I fixed the Bmp errors by copying the sound and pics folders from a Daphne install then pasted the in the main Freedomfighter folder. Then it started right up.

 

THANK YOU!!!  I downloaded the EMU from here and just copyed the 2 folders from the zip into the Freedomefighter dir!    THANKS  SO MUCH!!

Would anyone be able to make a video walkthrough of getting this to work? Very confused on what to do thanks! 

[SnoKnight]

Hi I managed to get this working but some of the sounds and scenes aren’t right and they skip early? How do I fix that? Thanks
