Arcade - First LaserDisc game release : 1983
No BIOS required to play DAPHNE or SINGE games.
Daphne games consist of 2 parts
a folder containing the videos, *.dat and *.txt files of the games
a .zip file in the roms folder
To add Daphne games, your games folders must be placed in "\roms\daphne" folder by adding .daphne at the end.
For example, your game folder "lair" (Dragon's Lair) must be renamed to lair.daphne
Once the game added, it is listed twice in Retrobat, as both the zip and the .daphne folder are detected.
You can use use the VIEW OPTIONS to hide the .zip
extension for the system by pressing SELECT
Navigate to VIEW CUSTOMIZATION and FILE EXTENSIONS
Untick .zip extension
SINGE games include the famous AMERICAN LASER GAMES and a few other titles.
The process is similar as for Daphne games but there is no zip file to place in the roms folder. In addition, 2 files need to be present in your <game>.daphne
folder:
<game>.singe
<game>.txt
The structure of the game folder should look like this:
To make things easier, you can use the assets available on the Hypseus Github.
At first, download the content of the repository above,
and extract the zip on a temporary folder.
For the exemple, we will use the game Astroboy, in 00-singe2 sub-folder :
Inside the game folder, you will find a text file that contain the information about which file is missing, and where it have to be place. In this exemple, you have to place the file astroboy.m2v
in the folder Video
.
After adding the required files (could be .m2v
file, or .ogg
and .m2v
files), you must rename your folder by adding .daphne at the end of the folder name (in our exemple : Astroboy.daphne
) and move this folder to the /roms/daphne/
folder
Singe2 emulator does not support games in the same format as hypseus format.
Only games listed on the emulator webpage can be used:
You can download these games, add the video/sound files required, and rename the folder with a .singe extension to use these games with the SINGE2 emulator:
It is very important to KEEP the game folder name as downloaded from the website !
