        do this

        cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne clean
git clone https://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu.git tmp/build/daphne
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne depends
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne build

        paste any errors

        edit: somone had issues compiling so ive added a sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne clean at the start to clean any source that might be there causing issues

          Tonight when I get home I try it. Once I make those lines that you give me if I did not give errors, should I do something else? Or would it be installed?

          If I am not mistaken when making those lines I did not throw any error yesterday, the problem occurred when putting the install one, tonight at home I confirm now I am at work.

          Thanks for your time indeed.

                @grant2258 I just did the process that you told me and it seems that everything went well, it doesn't seem to have any error =)

                I am attaching a video of the process for you to tell me, I await your response and how to continue! It still has poor quality because YouTube takes a while to put more quality ...

                Thanks again for everything

                    @grant2258 at last!! I finish everything correct without throwing errors. I just tried Dragon Lair and it works perfectly !! I can not believe it!!

                    I don't know how to really thank you!

                    If I make a backup of the image, when I copy it to another sd card it would work the same, right?

                      youve already thanked me many times its no problem. Yes you can copy the binary.

                      But dont worry it will compile fine again we just added a sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne clean to the start of the original instructions this cleans what was already in this folder. This fixes more than dragonrise it fixes normal controllers as well enjoy!

                          Hello @grant2258 ,
                          I have tried to install daphne as you suggest, but at the end of buikd creation i got these errors

                          g++: error: vldp2/libmpeg2/cpu_accel.o: No such file or directory

                          Looks like I miss some files.
                          My retropie version is 4.6.1
                          Could you help me?
                          Thank you

                            I registered just so I could thank you for solving this problem for me. It was mind boggling that the joystick would not cork correctly. Some moves would work but then other would not and they would also not work consistently.

                            This fix works PERFECT 100%%%

                            I was joking with myself that "this will NOT work for me..." BUT IT DID!!!

                            YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

                            I ran this on my acrade1up build running a RPI B3+ thru emulationstation. That is just for reference and to keep the thread alive for others who encounter the same problem.

                            I honestly do not know or really understand where the compiling data comes from that you suggest and why it is not in the current build when you install Daphne from "source"... I am not copmplaing by any means bc I know people do this stuff and do not get paid for it and people like me reap the benefits...Kudos and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

                              I have fixed a long time ago just do this to compile it and install.

                              cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne clean 
git clone https://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu.git tmp/build/daphne
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne depends
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne build
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne install
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne configure
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne clean

                              edit added clean to the start as someone had issues compiling so we make sure this is clear before we go

                              Hi guys, i had the same problem (only up/down working on arcadejoystick with dragonrise usb encoder) and running these commands improved my controls greatly. Thanks @grant2258 !!!

                              However, my left and right are now inverted. Is there anyway to fix this? I hooked up my arcade buttons/joysticks correctly to the USB encoders and in exactly the same manner for P1 and P2. I saw that a proposed solution was to rotate the joystick but wouldn't this invert up/down? Or is this a normal setting with daphne?

                              Any feedback is appreciated!

                                  @ronhjr You can either connect to RetroPie via SSH or press F4 in Emulation Station. The latter way won't let you copy & paste, though, so you would have to type in the commands listed above exactly as they are written.

                                    Does anyone know if this fix still works. I am not at my machine right now but I did browse to the GIT hub location that this file is stored and see that there is no TMP folder so I am trying to not get my hopes up that this will fix my issue.

                                    Thank you

                                      I followed the above instruction and can confirm this works. My Dragonrise controllers now play Daphne games with no issues.

                                        @grant2258 Hi I tried this but it asks for a username and password when I enter the third line.
                                        If this no longer available. Thanks.

                                            I am also getting a username and password prompt when attempting this, and believe I’m typing it correctly. Can someone verify if they can in fact get to this on GitHub? I’ve used this fix in the past and it works great, but I updated my build of daphne and I badly need to run this again!
