Daphne . Arcade joystick orientation wrong.

[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?

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

4. 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.

This post is deleted!

[Pennywisekrueger]

@pjft I’m getting stuck at this line

sudo git clone https://github.com/pjft/daphne-emu/ tmp/build/daphne

Should this be one line or two?

[pjft]

@pennywisekrueger one, but you haven't given me any error message or even what RetroPie version you're running and on what pi, etc.

Please share more details about what you're running to.

[Pennywisekrueger]

@pjft sorry - I’m on a pi 3b+

I’ve now got to the line

sudo./retropie_packages.sh daphne build

And it says no such file or directory

[pjft]

@pennywisekrueger There's a space between sudo and ".". Are you on /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup ?

[Pennywisekrueger]

@pjft I am now! My initial post missed some vital parts !! I’m there now everything seems to have worked - how do I boot back into emulation station to see if it’s worked 😬😬

Current command line flashing says

Pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-setup $

[pjft]

@pennywisekrueger sudo reboot now will restart the machine

[Pennywisekrueger]

@pjft it works!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

Dragons Lair 2 tested 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Any idea why it uses player 2 controls (not that I’m that bothered)

I've used the modified build done by grant(?) that was posted here to fix the joystick issue.
However, I found that the next time I updated RetroPie, Daphne wrote over the changes and I was back to square one.
Are you able to update and still keep these changes in place?
I really wish we could get the official build of Daphne fixed once and for all for this issue.

[tafaz73]

@pjft Ok, Updated Setup script but still fails.
Anyway I see that the issue starting when compiling this

cc  -mcpu=cortex-a72 -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 -O2  -fPIC `sdl-config --cflags` -I./include -fsigned-char  -c libmpeg2/cpu_accel.c -o libmpeg2/cpu_accel.o
libmpeg2/cpu_accel.c:24:10: fatal error: config.h: File or directory not existing
 #include "config.h"
          ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

I see that in include directory there is only a config.h.in and not config.h.
Could you past me build function from your Daphne.sh? Thanks

Ok I checked in log and I found a previous error....

I guess that without the right 'guess' of the build type, compile will fail....

Looks that config.guess timestamp is pretty old (2002-09-03) .... but my question is... where is it looking for this file?
I found an updated one in /usr/share/misc (TimeStamp ='2018-02-24')
How can I use this one?

Thanks

[pjft]

@tafaz73 I am at a loss here, apologies. What image are you running, in what device?

I don't know why you'd be getting those messages whatsoever, and I wouldn't know where to start, apologies.

[tafaz73]

@pjft the image is based on RetroPie 4.7.1. My raspberry is a PI4 4GB. I'm becoming crazy trying to figure out why is failing...
Anyway I found autotools in your source files. I will try to substitute with a more recent Version and see what will happen. Finger crossed

[tafaz73]

@pjft YEEEEESSS!! Finally!!!
I have replaced config.guess in daphne/src/vldp2/autotools and the error while building has disappeared !!!
... and now, most important thing, left/right are working!!!!

Thank you!!!
