: : What is Daphne/Daphne2DVD? Does this come on the DVD?
: It's a emulator that allows you to use the dvd's you have and play them with the original game roms on your computer. I believe it also allows you to rip your dvd's to mpeg format, save them on your hd, and use them that way. That would help with your lag problems.

: : Also, does anyone else notice a lag (in Space Ace) whenever they push the joystick or buttons? On my Sony DVD player, using the remote for input, the video pauses about a second or 2 after I make a move, before going on to the next scene. This makes it almost unplayable!
: : This seems to be a flaw in the layout of the DVD--the death scenes come up instantly, implying that they immediately follow the action scene. They should have put all the action scenes in sequence, and pushed all the death scenes to the end of the DVD. I'd rather wait for the death scenes dammit!
: : Anyone know if the DVD ROM/RAM drives have better access time than the home DVD players? Thanks
: In general they do since they often double as a cd rom drive. Home players aren't really meant for gaming, so they are rather slow. I've heard the x-box is an exception though, probably because it uses a computer grade dvd player.
