'Lair/Ace' DVDs...Blech.
« on: March 11, 2007, 08:41:22 PM »
...Anyone else here buy the DVD versions of 'Dragon's Lair' or 'Space Ace'?

I loved the clear, crisp pictures/sound...but the controls dont work worth a crap!!

The reaction time is slow and the pic freezes up each time you make a move choice, then displays your move (if it even regsiters!)...

I'll stick with the PC versions of these classics ANY DAY, thank you...;)

Unfortunately, this is the common problem for all the DVD port of the game. DVD movie player sucks for that  :cry:

If you want to play the game on PC without any problem, I suggest you to get the Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary for PC & COMPATIBLE on CD-Rom :



...but if you want to play the true arcade version of the game, you can use the content of your DVD version of the game with the 'DAPHNE' emulator.

See all information here : http://www.daphne-emu.com/

I can help you to setup the emulator too  :wink:

I actually JUST  bought the CDRom version of 'DL2-Timewarp'...I prefer it VASTLY to the DVD, even if the pic/sound are not quite as clear...afraid I wouldnt have space on either harddrive for the Daphne Emulator, I need all available room for work related files and animation AVIs Im making for my game (they are HUUUUGE!) but thanks anyhoo...;)

Dragons Lair 1 and 2 And Space Ace For DVD Work much Better on the PS2 The DVD keeps stopping and Ejecting when I try to play on a Regular DVD Player. I have beaten Space Ace On the PS2. I'm still working on Dragon's Lair though it does stop to register moves but the controller is better than A DVD Remote. :D
