Well that will fix your problem if its looking for a dpad because the joystick is on analog by default. I have tested the mode button and it does work properly changed from ana to dpad
-
I will have to buy some new buttons and try this out . I have 4 holes in the back of my arcade that could be used for mode and something else . Thank you
-
well you can test it just plug a spare cable in and touch the wires together then let go like pressing a button it will switch the mode
-
@grant2258 that's a great idea. I'll try it tomorrow as the kids are back from school . I have 4 spare cables so all I need now is time. If it doesn't work then it would be pointless buying anymore buttons.
-
Not sure if you know, but this caused some problems for me when getting started. But Daphne reserves "0" for unused commands, so when you start mapping buttons start at 1. Button 0 would be 1, and so on... maybe this threw things off a bit?

retro pie has an option to swap the a and b buttons might just be them swapped you can turn that option off if you want
-
@grant2258 That would be for EmulationStation, not applicable to Daphne configs, as far as I know.
-
thats true i have retropie on mind lol
-
@chuckyp thanks I knew about the buttons. Is there a way to map my joystick in the Daphne ini . I tried the mode switch and it worked but never fixed the directional issue .
-
the buttons for up and down are for the analog axis hopefully thatll work if not just add one to each button like mr beamquaker said for the directions buttons. accedently edit this post instead of replying

@beamquaker Yes, I would make a backup of your Daphni.ini and play around. JSTest should have given you the button numbers. Up/Down would be one of (-3327 and +3327) again, you may need to add +1 to those values to make up for the programming of Daphne not using "Zero" as an entry. But there should be a different number for your left and right, although I don't know about your specific situation.
If pressing left goes up and and pressing up goes right, just swap the values to get the direction you need.
-
I had that with the exact same controller and ended up noticing that I had plugged in the up/down/left/right to the wrong joystick switches.
I'd try switching the connectors around to the expected orientation. That worked for me.
-
@pjft I can't change it I think. It's in a 5 pin ribbon type connection . I tried to change that back to front but never worked.
-
@beamquaker oh. Mine are separate. Are yours 5pin on both ends?
-
he means rotate the joystick physically
-
do you have the Dragonrise controller if you do ill set it up on mine and send you a working config
-
@pjft yes they are on both ends .
-
@grant2258 yes . Strangely the keyboard arrow buttons are also back to front. Like down is left etc.
-
ok lemme up a rom to pie ill check it out

ENDThe button setup youll need to match to what you want the directions work fine with this config you need to go to digital mode though
