[ARCADE PC] Dragon's Lair 1 & 2 + Space Ace remastered using deep learning, 1080p 16:9 & 4:3 formats

[Blue Goblin]

Now that I have Dragon's Lair Remastered working on my PC, I noticed on my monitor, Dell 1908FP (Analog) The resolutions of the DL, DL2 and Space Ace appear pixelated. The resolution on the monitor itself is at the recommended 1280 x1024. I configured that on DaphneLoader as well with the same pixelated results.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Glad to know that someone else is enjoying it. Eventually I plan on getting the iircade Space Ace dedicated art cabinet and replacing the internals with my version. That's my ultimate plan. Don't care for the 1280x1024 LCD I prefer another 19" 1024x768 LCD true 4:3 ratio. I was also able to source the highest quality oggs by converting from the wmv's on the now impossible to get HD PC DVD version. The only thing is daphne doesn't support 48000Hz so I had to convert to 44100 the good news though is that the highest bit rate on these audio versions have been fully maintained. So this is an audio-only-superb-upgrade to my previous link :

Enjoy!

Hi, Thank you very much! I realized Spanish OGG version seems to have a lower volume.. so I though about normalize (or clean/fix) it. Did you also work with the spanish version, as well as Dragon's Lair 1 & 2?. If not, could you please suggest any tool to normalize these files? Thanks again! 😀

Thanks a lot for the work. I know it's an old post, but I just got these. I may run them through a color correction in Adobe PP. too saturated and skin colors way off. even Dirk's white clothes are discolored. not sure why you did that. Where you trying to make Dirk and Dexter brown because your spanish?

Having actually been around 12 when these hit the the hottest spot at the time, that being Arcades. I think my reaction to the quality of first seeing these on my gaming monitor (55in TV), would be almost as close as first seeing them in the arcade. Well done sir, and thank you for hard work.

The rest of the laserdisc could be adapted to this quality, it is a job very well done (timegal, ninja hayate, super don quix-ote...)

I've been trying these off and on all day.  Are Dragon's Lair 1 and Space Ace just not working on Hypseus Singe/Singe 2?  Of the three, was Lair 2 the only one ported so far? Batch files don't play nice with Hypseus, and the Daphne installs these come with do load, but mine only end up displaying 1/4 of the video due to it starting zoomed in.  I can't seem to fix this no matter what settings or resolutions I use, and I'd like to run these games with the fantastic newer video.

Hello, I congratulate you for the perfect video rendering of these historic games, in this regard I would like to ask you if there is also Italian audio?

[BLADESCATER]

Singe 2 can run game h264 mp4 Dragon's  lair can you do vidéo  1920x1080  mp4 ?

[Hoagie]

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

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.

Thank you.  That got me up and running, I can get rid of the old Daphne completely at this point because everything will run through Hypseus I think.  Not sure if stuff like Astron Belt and Bega's Battle have updated video files or not, but Hypseus should run whatever I got with the proper batch files, which I can just make using these as template.
