I've got Daphnex on the box, I can get it to load, but I can't get anything to run. I have some roms that I put in the roms folder, well unzipped their bin files. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

The movie files range in size from 500mb to 3gb depending on the game. They are not easy to come by any more and you will have to do some serious searching to track them down.

Does anyone here have DaphneX running on their machine successfully?  I would love to try this out for s***s and giggles...  (I'm actually trying to get my wife to agree to use the dragon from Dragon's Lair as a theme in the nursery... :D )

Would you be interested in walking me through getting one of these up and running?  I would like to get Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and Thayer's Quest going and would appreciate any info you can give me about it (I saw the links and was wondering what might be best).  Shoot me a PM if you would be interested in helping out.

your best bet is to grab the 20th anniversary DVD-Video set from digital leisure and use dvd2daph to convert the files to daphne format.  Then you need to transfer them to your xbox according to the docs included with daphnex.  It's pretty straightforward.  dvd2daph is a one-click utility.

Let me know if you have any questions.

You might want to look a couple weeks back in the forum, i made a thread about my own problems with Daphne and the framefile,
the answer might lie there, i cant help since i'm not close to my xbox at the time of this writing.

but that thread might help.

Any cheaper alternatives?  It's a little bit on the expensive side and, as I understand it, DLII is not emulated, either; seems a bit of a waste of money.  But, if I have to...
