New Hypseus and lr-Daphne to add on Retropie-Setup

[SuperFromND]

@skj Navigate to /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores, then create a new file named lr-daphne.sh, and paste the above shell script. Save the file, and you're pretty much done.

You'll want to install something like WinSCP before doing this; it makes the process a lot easier than trying to do it over PuTTY or on the Pi itself.

Ok I did all of that but I don't see any option to run lr-daphne or select it as an emulator? Is there anything else I need to do? I'm a complete newbie with GitHub stuff and scripts any help would be much appreciated.

[SuperFromND]

@skj You'll need to run the script from RetroPie Setup to install the emulator. It'll be in the "experimental" section.

@supercatfooz

Can you explain step by step how to do this as i dont know how to install the lr-daphne.sh from the retropie setup menu. Thanks

[SuperFromND]

@skj See here.

@supercatfooz

The lr-daphne is not showing in the experimental section. That is where im getting confused i cant install the emulator as it does not appear in that section :s

@skj

Did you update your RetroPie-Setup script first from the root menu?

[skj]

@mediamogul

Yes, I created the above mentioned lr-daphne.sh script, placed it in the above mention folder, then updated the retropie setup script and nothing for lr-daphne appears in the manage pacakages experimental section, that where I'm up to :s

@skj said in Hypseus new Daphne fork to try on Retropie:

i would suggest you change make to
make platform=pi -j4

Thank you so much for your clear instructions i was able to install it.

do i have to create any config files or folders now because i dont see anything in the /opt/retropie/libretrocores for lr-daphne?

reading above posts i dont see any config files created like this

/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /home/pi/daphne/daphne_libretro.so --config

sorry for asking all these questions but i really want to test this and im not sure on what to do next ?

Restart ES

ive only tested on a raspberry pi3 b+. I decided to use kodi and bbc iplayer kodi seems to be crashing randomly (when i say crashing i mean freezing) as well.

Ill need to see if i can find my pi2 and test on that then test on an earlier retropie version as well.

This freezing only happens on the pi ive only tested in stretch on a 3b+. Instead of jumping to conclusions ill test with a pi2 and a pi3 and various memory cards. Any feedback on the pi versions you guys are testing on if your getting the freezing would in lr daphne would he to debug this

[SuperFromND]

@grant2258 I'm using RetroPie 4.4 on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (not to be confused with the 3B+).

[dmmarti]

Testing on a Pi 3B (not a B+) .. I get that same strange freezing occurring.

I also don't have any sound and the controls (Logitech F310 wired gamepad) does not work in-game. I can still press SELECT + X and get to the Retroarch GUI, so my controller is working. I just can't input any coins and start the game yet.

I tested the M.A.C.H.3 rom.

this is so confusing and frustrating, can someone please post a clear guide on to set this up, where all the files and folders are to be place. im getting so lost on here, so far all i have managed to do is install the emulator from the experimental section - the normal version of daphne was easy to set up but this is crazy - please help me out

[BiZzAr721]

Aside for testing/feedback purposes, is lr-daphne (or what the the thread was originally about, hypseus) a viable alternative yet? My main interest is in the controller mapping - that's my main gripe with daphne is that if I switch controller to a different port, or change controllers, mapping is all messed up.
