Laser Disk Emulation Quality


Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried the Daphne emulator - the quality is absolutely horrendous !!! It looks like someone film the games with a VHS camera and re-authed the games to emulate - like those uber crappy dubs of new movies people did with a handy cam hehehe. Does anyone know if you can buy a good quality legal version of the game to run via emulation (i.e not a stand alone program).

 

I am using GameEx - by the way GameEx is totally awesome

 

cheers

Cobra Command

there are a few others - I have only played DL and Space Ace so far - I want to get to the others but the quality is really painful that it just doesn't do the games justice :(

Yeah I was running daphne in my cab and it was fine. In fact fantastic. Only took it off as I needed the room. you must have dud rips or maybe using them on a high-end monitor?

As others have stated is the quality of the rips that you are using. Keep in mind also that the Laserdisc format is actually an analogue video format (uses Pulse Code Modulation for the non-believers) so it is susceptible to loss of quality/degredadtion over time and depending on the quality of the disc they were ripping, it will effect the video quality greatly.

I have the legal Digital Leisure versions of Lair, Lair2, Space Ace. These are DVDs and the quality is meant to be as good as you can get. No they are not HD (although i think they are being released HD).

 

The new daphne emulator only really works with the Legal DVDs, which is a problem as although I have the full DVD Daphne still downloads the entire dvd rip for all games then checks to see if I have the DVD. Once checked I dont have to use the DVD again. I blew my 10GB d/l limit in 1 night grrrr (as i inadvertantly clicked configure in daphne loader on each game which starts the download process automatically

 

 

Which makes me wonder.......... Has any one else got the Digital Allied DVDs?

so it will download a proper good copy rip of the game files from the net to your pc and then does a validation....

 

wont take long for someone to crack this for sure
