      @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.

          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

                ive been working on git gub its not the easiest thing if

                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.

                          ok the commits been posted i dont know if they will accept it was really annoying them with me messing up in git hub. All i can do is appoligise for that. Grab the emulator for now if you want it working specially the joystick :) and buttons too of course thats was the main problem.

                          git clone --recursive --depth 1 --branch 1449 "https://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu.git"
                          cd daphne-emu/
                          sudo cp daphne.bin dapinput.ini /opt/retropie/emulators/

                          https://github.com/RetroPie/daphne-emu/compare/retropie...grant2258:retropie

                          too see whats been patched

                            @grant2258 do I just install it again from source using your github URL that I already have. I'm assuming i will have to map my own buttons as by default nothing will be mapped. Just change -1 to whatever button I want.

                              well nothing should be mappped in the joystick buttons anyway unless you map it button wise. no need to set them all to -1 just set the ones you want to use like coin start1 and button 1. that branch just has my bin with my changed fixes nothing else is in it

                                Originally, I believe Daphne used '0' as sort of a stand-in for a nul entry, making the +1 to all button codes a requirement. With your changes, if a particular map entry is not assigned, is it simply to be left blank, or is there a replacement for '0'?

                                  -1 and 0 use a default setting if there is any set and there was with the original code.

                                  the original code does this

                                  val3 = atoi(sval1.c_str());
                                  if (val3 > 0) joystick_buttons_map[val3 - 1] = i;

                                  it subtracts 1 to set the button to what it should be the only reason this happened is because atoi(sval1.c_str()); doesnt work with negative numbers. I just added a negative number search an if its set to negative use defaults.

                                  if you leave nothing set on mine (-1) the default joystick buttons (mine is unset) no default joystick button maps are set.

                                  the keys are fine on both will always use defaults but things change for the defaults on the original code it has some hard codes for the joystick .

                                  a fix for now would be set all your buttons to say number 24 a button you would never use any number it doesnt matter and the set the buttons up you want to use (only the joystick to not get any random problems joystick button problems.

                                  The miss understanding here is that it was assumed 0 unset the the joystick it didnt it used the defaults set in the original code for the gpx32

                                  to

                                    Very interesting. It's really nice to see Daphne being worked on. It's got a very active community, but development itself seems to have slowed down somewhat over the past few years. Your work is much appreciated.

                                        all you do to install it is type this in the command line. I had the path wrong fixed now
                                        i had
                                        sudo cp daphne.bin dapinput.ini /opt/retropie/emulators/
                                        should have been
                                        sudo cp daphne.bin dapinput.ini /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/

                                        just type this all in and its done yes set all your buttons to what you want them to be

                                        git clone --recursive --depth 1 --branch 1449 "https://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu.git"
                                        cd daphne-emu/
                                        sudo cp daphne.bin dapinput.ini /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/
