      @grant2258 yes . Strangely the keyboard arrow buttons are also back to front. Like down is left etc.

          [KEYBOARD]
          KEY_UP = 273 114 2
          KEY_DOWN = 274 102 2
          KEY_LEFT = 276 100 1
          KEY_RIGHT = 275 103 1
          KEY_BUTTON1 = 306 97 1
          KEY_BUTTON2 = 308 115 2
          KEY_BUTTON3 = 32 113 3
          KEY_START1 = 49 0 10
          KEY_START2 = 50 0 0
          KEY_COIN1 = 53 0 4
          KEY_COIN2 = 54 0 0
          KEY_SKILL1 = 304 119 0
          KEY_SKILL2 = 122 105 0
          KEY_SKILL3 = 120 107 0
          KEY_SERVICE = 57 0 0
          KEY_TEST = 283 0 0
          KEY_RESET = 284 0 0
          KEY_SCREENSHOT = 293 0 0
          KEY_QUIT = 27 113 9
          END

          The 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

            if your still having problems check your joysticks orientation. When looking at it it should be towards your facing to the right here is a pic of mine.

              @grant2258 it's not it's at the back facing away from me . It's that way because of the mounting bracket . I'm going to take them of and unscrew the stick from the mounting and hopefully rotate it to the left and screw it back on . It should mimic the picture you showed me and all my Daphne problems will be solved. Maybe

                it works for me this is for the dragon rise other joysticks will differ im just pasting the up down left right keys. The rest you know how to do

                for analog setup.
                KEY_UP = 273 114 1
                KEY_DOWN = 274 102 1
                KEY_LEFT = 276 100 0
                KEY_RIGHT = 275 103 0

                for digital setup
                KEY_UP = 273 114 1
                KEY_DOWN = 274 102 4
                KEY_LEFT = 276 100 2
                KEY_RIGHT = 275 103 8

                  @grant2258 that didn't work unfortunately . No matter what I put the left is down . The keyboard arrows change with the config change but the analogue and digital do not. It's like the joysticks have been put together wrong . If the joysticks have a default ud LR and Daphne takes those directions from the first instance . But mine are wrong and the down is facing left etc. This would explain why it's not working . I did read u can't map the joystick in Daphne.

                    Can't you physically install the joystick rotated at 90 degrees counter-clockwise?

                      @pjft that is the plan . If I recall it has screws holding the mount to the joystick. I plan on unscrewing it and as you say rotate it. Ill need to remove all the buttons and do the same thing to the other joystick incase they conflict when I re mapping the retro arch keys.

                          Well the first think you need to do is setup your joystick right. Its easy enough to do remove the restrictor rotate the pcb insert pcb put restrictor back on. If you have windows you can test it with that or you can compile sdl-jstest on the pi to test. If you need any help with either let me know.

                          Ive been looking at the joystick code on the emulator itself and i have found the problem with the analogue stick. The joystick code is a bit messy its just been patched in and not very well its been hard coded for a . There is a certain truth you cant configure the joystick but it will use the dstick. The analog stick doesnt look to hard to fix ill look at it over the weekend. I will send you a worrking config from looking at the source that ill work for example the quit key wont work

                              @grant2258 said in Daphne . Arcade joystick orientation wrong.:

                              The joystick code is a bit messy its just been patched in and not very well its been hard coded for a .

                              Your lips to God's ears. I love Daphne a lot, but even the lead developer has admitted to it having poor joystick support. He's been meaning to revisit it for a while, but it's just never happened. Keyboard support is a lot more flexible and by extension, key-mapping a controller can solve a lot of problems that come up. For example, my particular setup always has my controller being at js1, while Daphne is hard-coded to only ever look at js0. Key-mapping my controller ended up being the only real solution.

                                I'm going to find another game and see how much my joystick really works as dragon's lair 2 is to hard to have a real test . So far left and down works and the sword but I can't be sure if right and up work as I suck at it.

                                  well that would be a problem if its wanting diaginals the source will need updated.Here is the updated config remeber its button number -1 all the names are buttons you can use. I set all the others to 24 leave that as is for now there is a reason. I done this looking at the source so it should all be good.

                                  [KEYBOARD]
                                  KEY_UP = 273 114 24

                                  KEY_COIN2 = 54 0 joy quit
                                  KEY_SKILL1 = 304 119 joy pause
                                  KEY_SKILL2 = 122 105 joy button1

                                  KEY_SERVICE = 57 0 joy button3
                                  KEY_TEST = 283 0 joy console
                                  KEY_RESET = 284 0 24
                                  KEY_SCREENSHOT = 293 0 24
                                  KEY_QUIT = 27 113 24
                                  END

                                  KEY_BUTTON3 = start

                                    @grant2258 I'm going to try this config as I tried Mach 3 and left and right only partially worked . As in u could tap to the left or right but would not scroll. My joysticks are supposed to be dragon rise .

                                      yea the coin start1 has 4 entries instead of 3 might be that ive cleaned a few bits up but there is a bug in the code it should be picking that kind of error up. ill fix that too unless its something else causing it. I only have space ace what game is causing the problem?

                                      Here is the fixed config if you still have problems post you config ill check it

                                        @grant2258 Mach 3. No matter what I change on the joystick directions config it dosent change at all . Dragons lair 2 works alot better using the default Daphne config settings after rotating my joysticks.

                                          @beamquaker

                                          Ok let me try expain whats going on here the code reads the joystick hats (digital mode) or analog for up down left right always not matter what .

                                          Changing up down left and right wont change that or add the buttons right because it maps wrong into the code and cause all sorts of problems when you press a button that matches when it comes to directions.

                                          Now the joystick code is in need of some work so dont touch any of the other settings accept the ones with joy_ because will map where they say the rest will do random things. so just change the joy_buttons to what you want the rest arent mapped right thats why they have a button number 24 next to them

                                          ive started some of the updates to the code I should get it done the weekend
