      ok, I figured it out. When I read that Daphne uses the first controller it sees, I turned off my guns and it worked just fine.

      TPR

      So I found a solution that I think works (at least for me.) I changed the entire configs.hdmi>daphne folder permissions to 555 and when I add a new controller, I get this error:

      daphne input.jpg

      However it does NOT overwrite my current dapinput.ini file. I can't see anything else in that directory that it would need to write to anyway.

      I tested all 17 Daphne games and they all worked and they all kept my controller configs even after configuring a few new controllers so I think this is at least a fix for my situation.

      Thanks for the input everyone! It was helpful to put me on the right path!

      ok I'm an idiot....I didn't realize when I first mapped my ps3 control to retropie - that the ps3 controller numbers are right there as well..dpad up is 13, dpad 14, then I just needed to go to the dapinput.ini and add 1 to all the numbers since 0 is an unmapped number

      After installing Daphne, re-configure your gamepad in EmulationStation again then see if the mapping works in Daphne.

      It's a bit of a pain, have you read through this document?

      I assume your encoder is like mine and the button/joystick presses are keyboard mappings, if you know what they are then you just need to edit the dapinput.ini accordingly.

      To give you some context, my Coin keyboard mapping = 5, so for Daphne that equals 53, joystick up = up, which maps to 273 in daphne, button 1 = LCTRL which maps to 306

      Not a problem. I'm glad it worked out in some capacity.

      @yowl00 Welcome to the forum.

      There was a fix to Daphne by @werpu one and a half year ago (see here). It added a command line option -joynum followed by the controllers system index number, e.g. 0 or 1 to set the controller being used.

      It isn't clear to me, though, if the number is the joystick index (jsX) or the event index (eventX). So, here the commands to show both of them:

      evtest # lists all devices connected to an event jstest /dev/input/js0 # change 0 to 1, 2, 3 etc. to see the device using it. Exit with Ctrl-c.

      @chubsta said in Daphne controller configuration:

      input configuration script doesn't refer to the joypad anyway but i find that unlikely.

      I haven't tested it myself, but I assume the new input configuration script is referring to the mapping of buttons only. Daphne is an emulator that grabs the first joystick event it can find and there is no way to configure it to do otherwise outside of an external mapping solution.

      A tip to hopefully make your joystick appear as the first event is to plug into the upper left USB port. If that doesn't work, then try launching Daphne while it is the only USB device plugged in at all. If that also fails, you're left with very few options other than key-mapping your controller to fool the system into thinking it's a keyboard.
