Hypseus

Hypseus is a fork of Matt Ownby's Daphne. A program that "lets one play the original versions of many laserdisc arcade games on one's PC."

Some features that differ from the original:

Updated MPEG2 decoder
Working MPEG2 x86_64 hw accel (SSE2)
SDL2 support
cmake build tool
More bugs!

Overlays have been implemented with SDL2 at last, but they need testing. So please test and report issues.

Compile

Currently there is no documentation for the new build process. Pull requests gladly accepted.

Minimum software requirements: gcc, cmake, autotools, zlib, SDL2, vorbis and ogg.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../src
make

Support

This software intended for educational purposes only. Please submit issues or pull requests directly to the project.

DO NOT submit issues or request support from the official Daphne forums!

About

Open development by the original author, Matt Ownby, ceased years ago.

My intention for creating this public repository was to clean up the build process, fix bugs, learn, upgrade, and publish to foster collaborative development. The name was changed to Hypseus so the original authors of Daphne would not be burdened with requests for support.

A big thanks goes out to Matt Ownby and the many other developers who made their work available for me to learn from. Without them this project would not be possible.
