        @grant2258 Thanks very much for the fix, but after updating Daphne from your repository, Daphne won't start anymore. Runcommand.log says:

        Parameters: 
        Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.sh "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair.daphne"
        ls: cannot access '/proc/kcore': No such file or directory
        /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.sh: line 10:   822 Segmentation fault      "/opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin" "$name" vldp -nohwaccel -framefile "$dir/$name.txt" -homedir "/opt/retropie/emulators/daphne" -fullscreen $params
        

        Also, every time after Daphne segfaults, Retropie's tty console is gone. I only get a black screen when I exit Emulation Station or when I select an entry from the Retropie menu (Audio, Bluetooth, Retropie Setup etc.). The only way to fix this that I found is rebooting the Pi via ssh.

        I'm running Retropie 4.4.

                    @grant2258 Although you seem to know it by now, I can verify that Retropie's Daphne source compiles correctly. Just mentioned to compare our results.

                      urce

                      it does in certain conditions something is going wrong with the ./configure it not generating makefiles properly compiling when you clone the git its either untraceked files or something else it wont even compile properly if you make no changes when cloning it to another git repo something is wrong there. i works fine in retropie 3.3 :)

                        well its fixed i was curios if you compiled from source because it breaks the roms symlink. Im sure you know how to fix this if you have compiled from source so i wont bore you with details on that.

                        ok a few changes are needed in the compile function . There was problems with the compile part of the build script nothing major. The segfault was fix too was a missing , when i changed it back to retropie joystick numbering format. I originally had it on original joystick numbers.

                        anyway do this
                        RetroPie-Setup/
                        pico scriptmodules/emulators/daphne.sh

                        these functions need changed as such

                        function sources_daphne() {
                        gitPullOrClone "$md_build" https://github.com/grant2258/daphne-emu.git retropie
                        }

                        function build_daphne() {
                        cd src
                        ln -sf Makefile.vars.rp Makefile.vars
                        make clean
                        cd ..
                        cd src/vldp2
                        ./configure
                        make -f Makefile.rp
                        cd ..
                        make STATIC_VLDP=1
                        }

                        press ctrl + x to save

                        then just update from setup as normal

                        ls -al /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/roms

                        it should display this
                        lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 34 May 21 03:03 /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/roms -> /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/roms

                        like i said the script makes a roms dir instead of the symlink so just point the symlink in the right direction if you have problems. Ive compiled on a retropie 4.4 works

                        ps this will let the you control with digital and analogue on any controller before it was just the digital that worked. The buttons are where really messed up for controllers thats fixed up now too

                            Yeah, I selected "update from source" in the setup menu like a pro. ;) Seriously, I can fix a symlink in Linux if I know which one.

                            ok a few changes are needed in the compile function . There was problems with the compile part of the build script nothing majot.

                            So the segfault was independant from the compilation/symlink problem? I'm asking because your Daphne compiled on my system without the symlink fix, but then crashed with a segfault. So, if it wouldn't have crashed, there would still have been the symlink problem?

                            anyway do this
                            RetroPie-Setup/
                            pico scriptmodules/emulators/daphne.sh

                            I think you meant pico RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/daphne.sh ?

                            By the way, pico is symlinked to nano on Retropie. So, you may want to use nano in the first place here in the forum to avoid confusion for less experienced users. Just a thought. :)

                            these functions need changed as such

                            Are they only necessary for your repo or is this a bug that also affects the original version?

                            then just update from setup as normal

                            It worked! Your Daphne runs now, with all joystick directions enabled. Again, thank you very much. It was important for me to fix it this week, because I have a party next weekend. Now, my guests can play Dragon's Lair 1+2 or Space Ace if they want. :)

                            like i said the script makes a roms dir instead of the symlink so just point the symlink in the right direction if you have problems. Ive compiled on a retropie 4.4 works

                            How and where exactly did you fix that? Not in the daphne.sh as far as I can see.

                            ps this will let the you control with digital and analogue any controller before it was just the digital that worked. The buttons are where really messed up for controllers thats fixed up now too

                            My previous button setup seems to work like before. Do I have to mind anything in your version that's different to the original?

                            Sorry for all the questions. As always, I take a problem and its solution as an opportunity to learn. :)

                              everything is the same no setup changes needed the changes are here. The problem is the original code was hard coded to joystick was hard coded to the gpx2. I changed all default buttons the to -1 (not set for buttons unless we set them) because there is no way to unset buttons in this m emulator.

                              That is why people tried to do magic numbers to get it work to set a button to something else sometimes you would get lucky and get a working config. but it would be pressing more than one button sometimes so it could really be Russian roulette if it worked. the analogue was missing one line of code.

                              The changes are here didnt take much to fix it https://github.com/RetroPie/daphne-emu/pull/15/files

                              this is a pull req of my changes.

                              my code needed a fix for the segfault it was something minor a missing comma was in -1 structure and a if needed extra parentheses round a if statement to compile with optimization on.

                              The make clean needed added and symlink moved to the start. just a little shuffle in the order to fix the compile issues that was something separate and you wouldnt notice the errors when the setup screen goes away i didnt compile with the setup menu when testing.

                              The original code will compile this way too so its all good ive posted and issue on retropie-setup to get this Daphne compile script fixed.

                              the pico command is correct your already in the Retropie-Setup directory but not harm if you want to add the full path

                                  Well it's up to them if they take the fixes for the Input or not it's up to them.

                                  The compile script should be fixed though that's the main issue you can see posts over this forum when this symlink issue happens.

                                    Hello everyone. I tried compiling and it returns an error in the module daphne.d (retropie 4.1). Can someone upload the folder with binaries already compiled for raspberry pi 3? Thank you.

                                      @theridernight Which error exactly? What steps did you take to compile it?

                                        Hello! @Clyde, I followed the user's instructions @grant2258 , I have edited the daphne.sh file and have changed it following the instructions. Then I launched Retropie-Setup -> manage packages->optional->daphne->update from source and return error in module "daphne.d" , no binaries found error.

                                          try updating your setup script then try again. I had to update this to work on retropie 4.4 if 4.1 has different scripts I dont know what to say. Supplying bins is frowned upon thats why i havent linked any.
