Is there a simple way to make DragonRise controllers work with Daphne??

[grant2258]

I use the dragon rise myself you probably have the joystick rotated wrong. Plug it in windows to joystick test to confirm then just rotate it properly and you be all good to go. It doesnt use libretro mappings so if its rotated wrong it will show up here

@grant2258 Ok Sounds Good. Will I just reconfigure it in emulation station again once rotated to reset the buttons for all other emulators?

[grant2258]

@ChristianG yes once rotated do that if you have two joysticks make sure they are rotated the same way and all the buttons are plugged into the same places both sides.

@grant2258 !

@ChristianG Here is my setup

@grant2258 Very sweet setup. I like the wide body. I decided to build a pacman with 2 sticks which is tight but doable. You build the body yourself?

note this picture here if you need to rotate and if the mount is sitting wrong take these 4 screws out twist the joystick screw and put it on.

Yes i did build it myself just got some mdf and cut it out. Yes I did build this myself just got some mdf and cut it out no plans just drew it and cut it

@grant2258 Hey man I wanted to thank you for taking time to respond to my question. I have my joystick rotated, Daphne working and I couldn't be happier. I was stuck on threads for days I couldn't understand.

Thanks again. Just awesome!

[grant2258]

no problems at all my good man every time i see this daphne issue come up i kinda just help the person the emulator clearly just needs these fixes. The good thng now as well if you plug your arcade contoller in your windows machine it will work properly as well.

First of all I would like to thanks for this topic that partially solved my problem.

Till this afternoon I couldn't use my joystick in two directions, than I've compiled like grant2258 has suggested and now i've all 4 directions.

The issue is that now directions aren't coordinate in all daphne games (and only with daphne emulator, 'cause are correct with all other emulators).
For example in Dragon's Lair if I move the joystick:

• up, Dirk moves left;
• down, Dirk moves up;
• right, Dirk moves down;
• left, Dirk moves right.

I've controlled with jstest and I think that daphinput.ini file's is correctly configured.

I've a raspberry pi 3b+, dragonrise usb encoders with driver version 2.1.0, retropie v. 4.4, kernel v.4.9.80-v7+.

Which could be the solution?

To explain better I put the following link to: 1) my daphinput's file, 2) pictures of my joystick, 3) pictures of my cabinet and of jstest's results:

Great problem is that I've difficulties to open my cabinet to rotate joystick, do you think is it possible to solve through software?

Tnx!

Fabio

p.s. Finally I've solved the issue and I decide to pubblish my solution hoping to help someone with the same situazione. 'cause I can't rotate joystick I changed the position of the cables connected to the the pin of dragonrise's encoder.
The only handicap is the necessity to configurate another time the joysticks in emulationstation, but in five minutes it's done.

@grant2258 Oh my God!. Just found this post after a long time trying to get my DragonRise arcade controller to recognise left & right. Ran the above and it worked immediately. Thanks you so much :-)

[kmorreison]

I am excited to be able to play the Dl saga in the little machine, I do not see the day that I can do it one of my illusions is to play these games and it is bad luck that these usb controllers fail ...

[grant2258]

im testing now is compiling will let you know soon.

edit i had no issues it compiled and installed fine all i can think of something could be going wrong with your copy and paste do one line at a time.
