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

@batesman

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.

@mediamogul ahhhhhhh now that makes sense !

@kmorreison working fine as of retropie 4.6. 9

@darkav

Very nice!
