How to Use Your Own WMV in Daphne Emulator?

Daphne Emulator is a free program designed to play Laserdisc-based arcade games on the computer. These classic games use a combination of pre-rendered video files and player choice to create an interactive movie. With Daphne Emulator, the user can play digital movie files from the game without the need for the original, physical disc. You can also replace the game's original video files with custom files of your choosing. Though Daphne Emulator only supports MPEG files, you can convert WMV files or any other format to MPEG with ease.

Instructions

1. Download and install VLC Media Player from its website. (See Resources.)
2. Click "File" and choose "Convert/Save." Click the "Add" button and find your WMV file. Click "Convert/Save" to continue.
3. Click "Browse" next to "Destination File" and choose where you want to save your file.
Type a filename with ".mpg" on the end. Select "MPEG-2" from the drop-down list next to Profile" and click "Start" to begin the conversion.
4. Copy your finished MPEG-2 file into your game folder, replacing the existing video file. Daphne will play your MPEG-2 file instead of the original.
