        Hello Gang,
        I am officially Stumped. I have checked, rechecked and triple checked my settings and i can not for the life of me get Daphne up and Runnin.
        I have the most recent daphne version installed. I'm trying to get Dragon's Lair up and running.

        I have it working on the pc with no issues. Downloaded Daphne, put i my DVD, went through the verification and all that. I installed Daphne through retropie (from Source)and seemed to installed with no problems. It's a retropie 3 with the most recent updates. I took the Rom folder and added it to ~~\retropie\roms\daphne\roms and the took the .m2v the txt and the ogg files , added to lair.daphne folder (and added that to folder to the daphne folder)
        the txt files's first line is blank and second line reads 151 lair.m2v

        i've tried a bunch of stuff (added the rom called dle21 over to the rom folder, created a new dl21.daphne folder (and all that jazz)

        I reboot and ..well, no daphne emulator to select from emulationstation.

        I dont think it is the rom file and the folder structre, but i have absolutely no clue!
        Guess i'm wondern if there is a way to check a log file to see whats going on.

        I can post any/all info if needed.

        Please, Obi Wan, you are my only hope.

          Just a brief update that may be part of the issue:

          . I have seen posts stating the ROM image (lair.zip) should be large (approx. 7 GB, give or take) . Mine is 18 KB, which is the same size of the install video i watched . THe .M2v file (approx 800 megs) , OG file and TXt file all match up in size with this video as well.

            hello everyone... I ask help for retropie and daphne with "xin mo - joystick"
            all emu are ok, with joystick, except Dapne.
            could someone kindly copy me the setting of the file dapinput.ini keys?

            my file:

            #value found by vtest js1
            #button 1 - 10
            #button 2 - 11
            #button 3 - 12
            #button 4 - 13
            #select 19
            #start 18

            [KEYBOARD]
            KEY_UP = 273 114 5
            KEY_DOWN = 274 102 7
            KEY_LEFT = 276 100 8
            KEY_RIGHT = 275 103 6
            KEY_BUTTON1 = 306 97 14
            KEY_BUTTON2 = 308 115 15
            KEY_BUTTON3 = 32 113 16
            KEY_START1 = 49 0 18
            KEY_START2 = 50 0 0
            KEY_COIN1 = 53 0 19
            KEY_COIN2 = 54 0 0
            KEY_SKILL1 = 304 119 0
            KEY_SKILL2 = 122 105 0
            KEY_SKILL3 = 120 107 0

              @andrea_ita I would ask for help on the Daphne forums. You are more likely to get an answer. Daphne is fairly niche and doesn't seem to be a big thing with RetroPie users.

                  @andrea_ita or start your own thread... rather than tagging on the end of a 9 month old, unsolved topic. Google it. I can't be bothered. Maybe try looking for your own solution first?

                    Didn't mean to be a bother, Colum. Felt my current challenge was better suited to be addressed on an overall OS enviroment scenerion so i asked here as well. Hoping your help will be my solution, if you will offer it.

                    Still no luck getting the emulation to show. Now i added C64 vice and Coleco will correct roms and all, and they aren't showing (but i added Neo Geo and that showed, so who knows).

                    i may just go for a fresh install (...sigh)

                    Dre, here is my input ini, if it helps.


                    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 5
                    KEY_DOWN = 274 102 7
                    KEY_LEFT = 276 100 8
                    KEY_RIGHT = 275 103 6
                    KEY_BUTTON1 = 306 97 14
                    KEY_BUTTON2 = 308 115 15
                    KEY_BUTTON3 = 32 113 16
                    KEY_START1 = 49 0 4
                    KEY_START2 = 50 0 0
                    KEY_COIN1 = 53 0 1
                    KEY_COIN2 = 54 0 0
                    KEY_SKILL1 = 304 119 0
                    KEY_SKILL2 = 122 105 0
                    KEY_SKILL3 = 120 107 0
                    KEY_SERVICE = 57 0 0
                    KEY_TEST = 283 0 0
                    KEY_RESET = 284 0 0
                    KEY_SCREENSHOT = 293 0 0
                    KEY_QUIT = 27 113 17
                    END

                      Edit to above,

                      everything above {KEYBOARD} has a # at the beginning of the line

                        The log can be viewed at /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne_log.txt

                        After you check the log, it would greatly benefit you to open up a separate thread for your specific issue. You can restate what you posted above, but also make very sure to follow the guidelines listed here. There are in fact many people here that use Daphne and following these rules will ensure that you get the best help possible.

                              Let's keep the conversation going in your thread now that you have one.

                                I just wanted to say that I found this thread doing a google search and wanted to thank everyone with the answers. This has to be, imo, one of the most complex emulation projects I have done. It makes dealing with all the different MAME emulators and rom versions look like a stroll in the park. If anyone runs across this thread looking for help, I found an excellent YouTube video that gives excellent instruction for doing this and even gives you ideas on how to get the DVD-Video media (such as buying, library rentals, borrowing, googling "Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary DVD-Video ISO", etc). This, hopefully, will save a ton of time for someone. The dapinput.ini file is documented enough inside of it to explain itself fairly well.

                                Thanks for the contributions everyone.

                                  Hello I'm trying to get the command line to work. So far I have a text file in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair_f.daphne/lair_f.commands and when it start it goes back to the rom screen. This is what's in the file:

                                  -fullscreen -x 1920 -y 1080 -useoverlaysb -bank 0 11001000 -bank 1 00100111 -latency 100

                                  So what is pissing it off? Any help would be great.

                                  Thanks

                                    @taunnt Does /dev/shm/runcommand.log contain anything after running daphne? If so, please show it to us in a command block.

                                    Mind that /dev/shm is a ram disk, so it will lose all contents on shutdown or reboot.
