Hi Boys !!! :D
Could somebody (Please !) help me to convert my Dragon's Lair NTSC footage (taken from Digital Leisure' s Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversay Edition, using Dvd2DAPH) into PAL...
I heard that the latest version of Daphne (finally !) supports the European version of Dragon's Lair...
...and unfortunately actually that's the only way I could see my beloved blue screen again (no any cab here around ! :cry: )...
Please help me !

I would also like to know how to do this.
Someone said they were able to do this on the BYOAC website a while ago but I was not aware they did it using DVD2DAPH but with another tool. Although I guess using another tool would make it far more difficult to do. I imagine a torrent exists for the pal version as the new daphne has a torrent client built in but I do not know of a link.
I hear Mame might only be 2 or 3 months away from releasing a version with fully working laser game drivers so we may have to wait for that to play the pal euro DL version.

Blaze media pro should do it for you. I have converted stuff from Pal to NTSC (although it still doesnt look right). I hear ntsc to pal is better:

Rumor has it that you might be able to get the full version from the link below, but I personally haven't tested it since I actually bought v6.2:

Hi, mightypirate
I'm Marco ( ITA !!! ) ...
I did that conversion months ago ... then I contacted "someone" on the Daphne chatroom to talk about it ! After some months we got the "correct" drivers for both Dragon' s Lair ( Atari rev. D1 , D2 and Sidam ) and Space Ace EURO !!!!!!
They have still some kind of "sync" problem , probably due to the blue PAL screen , but they are FULLY PLAYABLE !!!!!! LIKE in THE "real" ARCADE GAME !!!
So... the process used to make those conversion is not so difficult ( ... if I was able to do that , then almost everyone could !!! hehe ) , but you MUST have the "single-file" mpeg for both games ! ONLY with a laser-disc rip ( NOT the "multiple-files" taken from the DVDs with the DVD2Daph ! ) !!!
Then you should have some video encoding programs like TmpgENC , VirtualDub ... )
Well , I have to ask you to eMail me , then we could speak "quickly" in italian , and I' d tell you HOW you could do that !
B.f.n.
Marco
