      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

      [KEYBOARD]
      KEY_UP = 273 0 24
      KEY_DOWN = 274 0 24
      KEY_LEFT = 276 0 24
      KEY_RIGHT = 275 0 24
      KEY_BUTTON1 = 306 0 24
      KEY_BUTTON2 = 308 0 24
      KEY_BUTTON3 = 32 0 joy_start
      KEY_START1 = 49 0 24
      KEY_START2 = 50 0 24
      KEY_COIN1 = 53 0 joy_coin
      KEY_COIN2 = 54 0 joy_quit
      KEY_SKILL1 = 304 0 joy_pause
      KEY_SKILL2 = 122 0 joy_button1
      KEY_SKILL3 = 120 0 joy_button2
      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 0 24
      END

        @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.

          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

            <threadjack>
            Just curious...are you the fella that wrote daphne.sh (the one that sets up joystick) ?
            If so I would be willing to take a look at it with you....I absolutely LOVE daphne. Never had the money to play it when I was a kid...those machines were expensive but oh man have I loved playing it on my retropie. Anywho was thinking about setting up some sort of read dialog in the script similar to the recast script but in shell not python. Or seeing if there was a way to logically map the controller based on what is already in the ES controller config file.

              @grant2258 I would like to thank you for your patience and all the help you have gave me. Thanks for the explanation as well . It's a good emulator it just needs someone to sort it out.

                if ok here is fix for the mapping not working properly its a updated binary

                https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EkBeWcUCnbJ1PHEEo4uyoCpP6cnqqGqs/view

                upload it to your pi
                ssh in
                type these commands in

                unzip daphne.zip
                cd daphne
                sudo sh install.sh

                this fix maps the buttons to the joystick properly from config file properly so you can set any buttons for any function with no voodoo happening.

                Just note if you map the button up down left right they will work as buttons but that wont stop the hat working youll just be adding a extra up and down. No i didnt write the sh script mr shakz the first time i used this emulator is when beamquaker started this thread and i like dragons lair when i was a kid.

                I will look at the joystick code for the analogue its just getting the time. If you install this update itll work as it should with mapping. If you dont update just stick to them joystick buttons i gave you in the ini

                    that was just a simple change to get you going the way you want and the way it should work

                    https://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu/commit/23796d9f764fc1b996906dc1a6723bd891da04d3

                    i need to learn git hub just use the binary i posted for now if you need more buttons than the ini joy_ provides

                      Well i got a chance to look at the code I need to make a few changes before i get to the joystick. I dont know if ill get the analog joystick done this weekend but the key mapping code should be done soon so you can set the emulator up right. Ill post you instructions of how to update it when im done with the changes.

                        ok good news button mapping and the joystick is fihttps://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu/blob/testing/dapinput.inixed for all joysticks with more than 2 axis (english the dragonwise will work now and the buttons map and work propely now and you dont have to add 1 anymore. I dont know about diaginal you might get lucky sometimes. . I would really to get a game that supports it to do it properly. So if you left me know a game ill look into it. Im trying to figure out to do a pull request properly to get it in the main github page. This really brings the emulator into a usable state.

                        for now youll just have to grab it form my repo not hard to do

                        fist you need to edit this file
                        sudo pico /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/daphne.sh

                        near the top change

                        gitPullOrClone "$md_build" https://github.com/RetroPie/daphne-emu.git retropie

                        gitPullOrClone "$md_build" https://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu.git testing

                        press ctrl + x then press y and then enter thats to save you can edit the file any way you like.

                        now its just simply time to install its like a new emulator its works properly. I knwo exactly what it done wrong and why it didnt work it was a minor oversite in a few places. The joystick will get more tlc when i get more feed back if there is problems.

                        cd home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/
                        sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne clean

                        then install from source as normal let me know how you get on works perfect for me now

                        please check this has all the info you need to know about inputs

                          @grant2258 I'll try and set it up tomorrow. I think you can go diagonal in Mach 3 . This is amazing news . I'll gladly test it the minute I get a chance.

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

                              I think you can go diagonal in Mach 3 .

                              You can indeed. 'Us Vs. Them' also allows diagonal movement.

                                  @grant2258 I couldn't connect to your github URL unfortunately. I followed the instructions but had to change it back when it wouldn't connect. Sorry

                                    sudo git clone --recursive --depth 1 --branch testing "https://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu.git"
                                    works you must have typed something wrogn in prevous instructions

                                    basically your just changing RetroPie to grant2258
                                    and small retropie to testing.

                                    ok forgot to say above install from source not binary

                                      @grant2258 I got connected to your github and it starts to install from source but I get (/home/pi/retropie-setup/tmp/build/Daphne/daphne.bin not found). It tells me where to find the error files next. It says all that but Daphne boots the games up no problem. I haven't tried to change the buttons yet. The joystick is still the same. I'm assuming I can get updates from you now as you update the project.

                                          @beamquaker I'll wait until you have it sorted . At least you are trying to sort out the problems. I wish I could code . I don't even know where to begin.
