      Thats not how its works do you have 18 entries in your dinput file ? you pick the button you want to use in the dinput if you do need more than ten let me know.

      edit added up to 18 buttons on the repo for you. I dont see why anyone would set them all on there controller but its done. Just add any extra button defines to your dainput.(youll need to recompile though)

      ...
      "KEY_UP", "KEY_LEFT", "KEY_DOWN", "KEY_RIGHT", "KEY_START1", "KEY_START2", "KEY_BUTTON1",
      "KEY_BUTTON2", "KEY_BUTTON3", "KEY_COIN1", "KEY_COIN2", "KEY_SKILL1", "KEY_SKILL2",
      "KEY_SKILL3", "KEY_SERVICE", "KEY_TEST", "KEY_RESET", "KEY_SCREENSHOT", "KEY_QUIT", "KEY_PAUSE",
      "KEY_CONSOLE", "KEY_TILT"
      ...

      is all the button names that can be set currently any 10 can be changed it changed to 18 for you now. I did at one point change the joystick buttons to match the joystick number but had to put it back the way it was for the retropie script that creates the input file

        I had that with the exact same controller.
        I'd try switching the connectors around to the expected orientation. That worked for me.

          Hi all!
          My situation with original Daphne RetropPie setup
          Joy directions wrong ( i die even if the movement is correct)
          Button 1 Correct

          So.
          @grant2258 i followed these steps:

          1 unistalled Daphne at all
          2 sudo nano pico /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/daphne.sh
          3 replaced RetroPie with grant2258 ( gitPullOrClone "$md_build" https://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu.git retropie )
          4 Re-Installed Daphnefrom source
          

          My dapinput.ini is

          # Daphne cutom keyboard and joystick mapping
          #
          # Each input is mapped to 2 keyboard keys and one joystick button.
          # A joystick's first analog stick is also automatically mapped.
          #
          # The first two numbers are SDL keyboard codes (or 0 for "none")
          # Find keyboard codes here:
          # http://www.daphne-emu.com/mediawiki/index.php/KeyList
          #
          # The third number is the joystick button code (or 0 for "none")
          # Since 0 is reserved for special meaning, joystick button 0 is identified
          # as 1 here.  Button 1 is identified as 2, and so on.
          # 
          # Find the button you want to map by running:
          # jstest /dev/input/js0
          
          [KEYBOARD]
          KEY_UP = 273 114 24
          KEY_DOWN = 274 102 24
          KEY_LEFT = 276 100 24
          KEY_RIGHT = 275 103 24
          KEY_BUTTON1 = 306 97 24
          KEY_BUTTON2 = 308 115 24
          KEY_BUTTON3 = 32 113 joy start
          KEY_START1 = 49 0 10 42
          KEY_START2 = 50 0 42
          KEY_COIN1 = 53 0 joy coin
          KEY_COIN2 = 54 0 joy quit
          KEY_SKILL1 = 304 119 joy pause
          KEY_SKILL2 = 122 105 joy button1
          KEY_SKILL3 = 120 107 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 = 27 113 24
          END
          

          Now Joystick movements work like a charm BUT
          i lost my BUTTON 1 on my joystick
          so no action button at all
          My controller is seen as a general usb joystick.

          Any help?
          Thanks all

            KEY_BUTTON3 = 32 113 3
            

            you will need to use jstest (add one to the value) for what button numbers you want to use for the function

                Hello, I tried to understand the subject but I also have a left / right inversion. I was on retropie and I just changed to dragon's lair but with Batocera I have the same thing! I am new to trying to understand but what must be done to reverse orders. On my terminal (sticker: Dragon's lair) this is the only game I really want and I have been looking for weeks. I'm ready to cut the wires to reverse the order, that's to say Who can help me I will be grateful. thank you

                    Joystick works perfect, but I can only get the coin button to work. This is my daphne.ini. Any tips?

                      @beamquaker I am having the exact same issue on the exact same stick. It’s driving me mad been about 3 hours messing with this. Buttons no worries but the stick seems to work for only certain directions. Or I really suck worse than I thought at the game 😬

                        @tagnetti Does this happen only in Daphne or also in Emulation Station and other emulators?

                        If the latter and you have manually wired arcade joysticks, check the wiring. It has to be exactly the same for both sticks.

                        Besides that, you can check your joysticks in RetroPie's command console with the jstest command. For example:

                        jstest /dev/js0
                        

                        Replace the 0 with the joystick index of the stick you want to test. You can press the tab key two times quickly in succession after the js to get a list of all existing joystick numbers. Press Ctrl+c to stop the test, and enter exit to leave the console.

                          @clyde Thankyou. The problem only exists in Daphne. Everything else is perfect. It’s weird as when I try certain titles in Daphne it’s almost like left and right work like a button press left and right but don’t sustain any movement like moving a ship for example. Can’t wrap my mind around what could be causing that issue.

                            @tagnetti I don't know if I misunderstand you, but as far as I know Daphne games (Dragon's Lair I + II and Space Ace), the player is expected to "tap" the stick in the right moment and direction, but not keep it for long in one direction. Maybe that's the problem?

                            Other than that, did you check Daphne's controls in the dainput.ini? See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Daphne/#controls

                              @clyde You're right for those games... but for others, like "astron belt", you are moving a sprite overlaying the laserdiscs video. So @tagnetti, we may need the info about what "certain titles" are meant...

                                Apologies for dragging an old thread up. I came across this while searching for solutions to my DragonRise not working in Daphne.

                                Thanks to @grant2258 , using your modified/fixed daphne - the controls work just fine - super.

                                However, it appears Daphne has recently been updated (Retro pie source) by @pjft to support :

                                Badlands
                                Begas Battle
                                Road Blaster

                                So Ive moved to the offical source build, and of cource, my controls stop working. Would be great to have the best of both worlds, will @grant2258 's changes ever be included in the official source, or could the latest offical source be modified to inlucde these must have changes?

                                Many thanks for all your help and to all those involved

                                  @dabbler you may try to compile and install it from my RetroPie branch, that I used to develop those changes while keeping Grant's control patches:

                                  https://github.com/pjft/daphne-emu/commits/retropie

                                  Probably the easiest way is to edit the Daphne RetroPie Setup script to retrieve the code from my repository and branch, and compile from source.

                                  I could consider pushing it upstream to RetroPie but I'm always hesitant of doing so with other people's code (in the case, Grant's changes), out of consideration for their authorship but he is unlikely to do so on his own by now...

                                  Note taken. Thanks and a happy new year.

                                    Thanks, sounds like a good plan - my linux knowledge is lacking, im doing the following:

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

                                    However it fails on the install line (.bin not found), are you able to help please?

                                    Thanks so much!

                                      @dabbler Well, that's already quite more than what I'd expect from someone lacking Linux knowledge :D

                                      I believe that you'd need to check out the "retropie" branch on my end, so:

                                      sudo git clone https://github.com/pjft/daphne-emu/ tmp/build/daphne
                                      cd tmp/build/daphne
                                      sudo git checkout retropie
                                      cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/
                                      

                                      and then the rest.

                                        Thanks - "sudo git checkout daphne" was required!

                                        All now built, installed and about to test.

                                          sudo git checkout retropie

                                          Thanks - "sudo git checkout daphne" was required!

                                          All now built, installed and about to test.

                                          Joystick works. Alas, Bega, Badlands do not launch - just a black screen. Going back to the offical retopie version, these do work, but the joystick dosnt :-( Such a shame @pjft Any thoughts? Thanks

                                            Actually, just re-merged it there. Try again, but make sure it's retropie, not daphne as you had mentioned.
