Daphne . Arcade joystick orientation wrong.

@pennywisekrueger As far as I remember, yes.

@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?
-
@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.
-
@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
-
@pennywisekrueger There's a space between sudo and ".". Are you on /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup ?
-
@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 $
-
@pennywisekrueger sudo reboot now will restart the machine
-
@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. -
@pjft Ok, Updated Setup script but still fails.
Anyway I see that the issue starting when compiling thiscc -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 -
@pjft

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

@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.
-
@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 -
@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!!!
-
@tafaz73 Hey! Saw your success with this - when you say you replaced the config.guess / config.sub file - where did you get it from? Did you simply get the latest from the 'config' project? (savannah.gnu.org)
I'm running on a pi4 / 4.7.1 and wanted to update Daphne for better compatibility and joystick fixes.
@pjft Since config.guess / config.sub are required to identify platform specific parameters, I'm going to assume this has to do the the pi4 being newer and the config.guess is timestamped from 2002 (even in the official RetroPie repo) and out of date for the pi4 architecture.
I'm wondering if it'd be beneficial to update both in your repo to assist other users on the pi4 / 4.7.1+ combo?
Some more info on config.guess and config.sub:
GNU - config.guess / config.sub -
@saturnx Thank you.
I would consider it, but given that - as you noted - my repo is exactly the same as the official RetroPie one here, I genuinely am stumped as to why would compilation fail from my repo, but work from RetroPie's source install.
If you and others do confirm that compiling Daphne from source fails on RetroPie, then we'll fix it in both, but that not being the case I'd rather try to really understand what might be missing here before embarking in fixing the symptom rather than the cause.
I'd like to get some clarity on the context before jumping to a tactical fix.
-
@pjft excellent approach, truth be told, I’ve just installed Daphne from binary on my pi4 install and it works (minus the joystick hiccups).
I’ll see if I can give it a go from source - trying the official repo first.
If anyone else has a Pi 4 and wants to try the official repo to see if it’ll compile that would help the cause!
-
@pjft So just an update - fired up a clean install of 4.7.1 on my pi4 / 4GB and attempted to build daphne from official sources directly from the retropie setup script.
It compiled without issue and ran Dragon's Lair without issue (aside from joystick nuances).
Quickly checking the logs (see below) it looks like it determines the build type correctly, whereas when @tafaz73 tried to compile from your repo, it failed the system identification.
This is where my knowledge trails off on compiling from source.
My next step will be to try compiling the modified version from your repo. I'll report back with how it pans out.

So just gave your repo a go, cleaned out the original install and it compiled and installed without issue!
Going to test run a few games to see how this performs, but so far looking good!
Just for completeness - my system details
System: Pi4 / 4GB
RetroPie: 4.7.1 (fresh install)
RetroPie Setup Script: 4.7.7 -
Total Noob here, my apologies if I'm asking in the wrong place. After an hour of internet sleuthing, this thread seems to be most active around this issue. Ive just got into the retropie world. Have a Pi4 running a 64g virtualman image file. Daphe Games all load fine. Im trying to configure my arcade stick to work with them. Im using a madcatz xbox 360 arcade stick. Ive got the dainput.ini file open, and no clue what the numbers should be for this stick. running jstest only shows -32767/32767 for the stick and all the buttons only show as on/off. Where do I go from here? I have not updated anything from the original image file I loaded. Thanks for any help!
