Daphne . Arcade joystick orientation wrong.

Ashpool

@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

pjft

@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!

pjft

@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.

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

pjft

@dabbler sudo git checkout retropie

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
sudo git clone https://github.com/pjft/daphne-emu/ tmp/build/daphne
sudo git checkout retropie
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne depends
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne build
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne install
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh daphne configure

pjft

@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/

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
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

@dabbler

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

Any ideas?

pjft

@tafaz73 No ideas.

Are you following these instructions?

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16464/daphne-arcade-joystick-orientation-wrong/115?_=1611934569118

Have you updated the RetroPie-Setup script?

tafaz73

@pjft
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?

Connect to wifi / lan
Boot to command line and
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

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

Thanks for your help (anyone who sees this) 😣

pjft

@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.

Pennywisekrueger

@pjft but I got the rest right!!? 🙏🏼

pjft

@pennywisekrueger As far as I remember, yes.
