Add Support for Daphne

[ghost]

Please add Daphne support when you have some time. The default file extension is .daphne

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Daphne

I can connect the files to TGDB when added.

According to the wiki page it looks like .daphne is a folder with things in it? Am I reading that correctly? It also looks like it also uses a strict naming scheme like dle21 is a key that tells daphne what game it is. If that is true this seems similar to scummvm and might require some special tooling.

Yep you got it. I think the main daphne page has more info on it as the .daphne folder was just a filename we chose for implementing it with RetroPie and emulationstation.

This page I think has all the games and filenames: http://www.daphne-emu.com/mediawiki/index.php/CmdLine

[sselph]

Thanks. So what I'll probably do is what I did for scummvm. The "key" will be dle21.daphne instead of a hash and I'll use that to match to thegamesdb. I'll play around with adding this.

@sselph Let me know if you need help with one of them to get it going. After we have one I can do the rest from there for TGDB to CSV.

[sselph]

I can setup a workspace for this. @HerbFargus at http://www.daphne-emu.com/mediawiki/index.php/CmdLine there are entries like lair2_* is that * a wildcard or a literal *?

[HerbFargus]

That's good question. I haven't the slightest, seems three of them have asterisks but I don't know what they mean

[sselph]

Okay, If I had to guess it would be a wildcard but like mentioned, it is only 3 so not that big of a deal. I might need to add some code to handle those but will create a workspace for the non-wildcard tomorrow.

I will start building the TGDB titles, if they do not exist currently. Most I would assume exist currently.

@sselph Here you go! All of the Daphne titles are now entered into TGDB. Here is a CSV mapping TGDB to the folder names from the above workspace mentioned above.

Sorry for the delay, I was playing around with trying to import my code in to EmulationStation. I've added these so hopefully daphne works.

[ghost]

I added two additional folders to the above list. Galaxy Ranger and Road Blaster both did not match the folder names generated for me which were created by Daphne. Please add galaxyr and rb from the below file. The other folder names still should remain as options in case others are using them.

..............hopefully that all makes sense.

Edit: This may be a mute point since there are no galaxyr.zip or rb.zip files within the /roms folder for Daphne.

[sselph]

Added them anyway.

Looks great, thank you for doing all that you did!

Closing and marking as complete!
