      @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.

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

                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.

                      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.

                          No luck im afraid, i get :

                          pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ sudo git checkout retropie
                          error: pathspec 'retropie' did not match any file(s) known to git

                          full steps:

                          cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/
                          sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne clean

                            @dabbler You're missing navigating to the daphne folder, as I mentioned, after cloning the repository.

                            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/

                              Works a treat. Joystick fully working and Bega etc working - thanks so much @pjft

                              For others, the full steps to install and build this version are:

                              cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/
                              sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne clean

                              cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup
                              sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne build
                              sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne install
                              sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne configure

                                With the updated space on the first line everything works great. Thanks to pjft for compiling

                                  Finally someone upped again this thread. I'm still stuck with non orking joystick. Unfortunately, when I'm building Daphne I receive following error

                                    Have you updated the RetroPie-Setup script?

                                      Yes, this is what I have done.
                                      The issue happened at the end of

                                      sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne build

                                      No, I didn't update Retropie-Setup script. I will do and then test the build again.

                                      Thank you

                                        I like others have just found this thread seconds before tearing my last strands of hair out.

                                        For the complete raspberry pi noob like me - what do I do?

                                        1. Connect to wifi / lan
                                        2. Boot to command line and
                                        3. Type the commands in exactly as shown below;

                                        cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/
                                        sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne clean
                                        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
                                        sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne build
                                        sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne install
                                        sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne configure

                                        1. After this do you need to amend the daphne config file still?

                                        Thanks for your help (anyone who sees this) 😣

                                          @pennywisekrueger Good question about step 4, I don't have an answer as I had already set up my buttons - this just adds the joystick support.

                                          I imagine you might have to edit the file, as your button configuration will be different to others' (at least fine-tuning) but worth launching Daphne before changing the file and seeing how it goes.
