will there be the option of pausing the game and it also shows what treasures we've obtained so far?

Was that a feature of the arcade version ?

I need to check if is possible to see the icons when game is paused, there is no option at this time, planning to add gap adjustment settings between icons.

No, it was not. Neither was the treasure icons on the screen. Neither the HD AI upscale video. These are called "nice to have"

Oh, I didn't realize you were paying Max to fulfill a "spec sheet" of requests for you.

 

Still, it'll be "nice to have" that $1000 at the end for @Max0011, for this work.

I was not demanding anything, never did, never will. I always congratulated Max for his work. Not sure what you are trying to stir up here. If you don't got nothing good to say or to contribute, please ignore me and don't @ me at all.

Really great work. I finally had the time to install it and play it on my setup and it is definitely the best version of all the recent cleaned-up version I have seen. Really good work.

I love the low-res option to make the high-scores feel more original and fitting better with the content sharpness. Thanks for that

 

My only beef was with the attract mode showing the controllers and others, so would be nice to have options to disable some screens but not a priority. I am fine, I edited the scripts myself and I am good for now.

 

Thanks again for the great work. Will go try the new beta 4 of dragon's lair 2 now, the first one was missing a script or something when I last tried.

Update:

 

New on this version:

 

- Updated Structure/Framework ( Issues with resetting scores or game to default thought game menu )

- New "Top Players" look.

Thanks Maximi1ium, does this have all the improvements of your previous Dragon's Lair  Maximi1ium V2.0 Remix (2024) version?

Also are you still making a non-cropped 4:3 version?

 

I'm confused on 4:3 versus 16x9 only.....I play on a 4:3 cabinet usually...it looks like all these newer versions are for widescreen setups only?

[Gtguy]

The problem with all the 16:9 versions is that they cut off the top and bottom of the screen to fit it into 16:9.     The Dragon's Lair Maximi1ium V2.0 Remix (2024) 4:3 version was posted here, but files apparently no longer available for download.

You guys make me laugh. If he had "hand" corrected and cleaned only 4:3 video frames "individually", he would have had a bunch of users asking why is there no 16:9 version for their funky new monitors.

 

He hand corrected frames, I'll say that again: He hand corrected frames in his own time. HE made the decision to go with 16:9 and dedicated his time to fixing up that version.

Then shared his hard work for you guys.

 

If you want 4:3 so bad, then I keenly await YOUR hand cleaned and corrected 4:3 versions so we can all, share delight, and pick them to pieces for not working on our systems. Let's start the clock....

 

Max, keep doing what you are doing - most of us appreciate you.

 

 

 

[Hoagie]

Lol, where are the "I hate 4:3 " brigade when you need them.

[Max0011]

The old 4:3 remix versions can be found here:

Is difficult to keep track of all the links specially after updates, I always try to keep them up to date on Discord.

CharlieChan, no one was asking for a new 4:3 version.  Just pointing out there was already a great 4:3 version already by our hero Max0011.    In fact, I think the 16:9 version was partially based on the 4:3 version after cropping.    Tip search discord for "Special Edition 4:3 resolution games for Hypseus Singe:".    Looks like there are even newer verisons than remix 2.0, that are called SE (Special Edition).

Im sorry @Max0011 is it possible with this pc spec im not able to run smoothy your DL version?

Im using this command line:

..\hypseus.exe singe vldp -framefile singe\dragons_lair_se\dragons_lair.txt -script singe\dragons_lair_se\dragons_lair.singe -keymapfile dragons_lair.ini -opengl -fullscreen -bezel dragons_lair.png -volume_nonvldp 13 -volume_vldp 35

Hypseus Singe (v2.11.7)

Thank you!

[Max0011]

Try -novsync

[Marcoqwerty]

Still the same, maybe slightly better.

Anyway if you have time i've sended the log.

hypseus.log

[xxOToTOxx]

Try switching the Overlay Resolution to Lo, hit 9 for service menu, go to Extra Options and set Overlay Res to Lo - then use EXIT at the bottom.

 

These videos are quite high bitrate if I recall, if these suggestions don't work you will probably have to try reducing the bitrate and/or resolution of the m2v with ffmpeg  if -novsync also doesn't help.

 

There are no magic arguments for resource exhaustion on these hi definition overlays.

 

Also, your log clearly shows you have a corrupt hypinput.ini. If you delete, or rename, the current one, Hypseus will generate a new clean config on its next restart.

There are Atari/Sidam versions of DL and SA via Hypseus ROM emulation.

 

Max's games are LUA fan games, if you want a variant I suggest you pick up the task yourself. There is barely any laserdisc media, of any quality, around for those EU games. But you have a LUA framework already to work from.

No completely different video source and completely different FPS (PAL vs NTSC).

 

You need to find the EU PAL Laserdisc footage ripped for Daphne and as I said it's really quite hard to find.
