Kmetz7547 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 im hoping someone can help me. i got daphne setup in lb and all games run.. although for some reason when i go to configure a games inputs.. daphne doesnt recognize or see my controllers. i have 2 dualshock 4 controllers as well as 2 sets of joystick and buttons hooked up to my pc. every other emulator (mame, retroarch) work fine with my controllers. what could be the issue? thanks Quote
Lordmonkus Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Daphne doesn't have any built in native controller support, you need to use something like Xpadder or Controller Companion to map your controller to the keyboard buttons that Daphne uses. I suggest Controller Companion for ease of use, it's only a couple of bucks on Steam. Quote
Kmetz7547 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Posted January 30, 2018 Appreiate your help. This will work with the ps4 controllers..Although I was hoping to map my joystick and buttons to work as I was able to back in the retropie days... hmmm Quote
Lordmonkus Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I don't know if anything has changed since I last looked at Daphne but it didn't have native controller support when I did. Retropie probably had some sort of built scripting to map controller buttons to the commands that Daphne requires. Quote
Kmetz7547 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 In Daphne loader. U can click on game and configure.. then u choose inputs tab and can map controls there. But for some reason, mine don't work since I try with windows and launchbox... Quote
Lordmonkus Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Yeah I was never able to get it work properly to map my controllers. I just gave it a try again for shits and giggles and it will detect the face buttons on my 360 controller but it won't detect the d-pad or analog stick functions. Quote

Where you able to get this working? i'm wanting to attempt for the 100th time to get Daphne up and running in my new build, but would like to know i can actually map buttons to my arcade sticks ( using a joystick-usb encoder ). The sticks will be seen as the dpad on a generic usb controller. Quote
5thWolf Posted December 9, 2021 Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) I am not sure what version of Daphne & DaphneLoader was around in 2018, but the current version today I saw input_grabber.exe in the daphne folder. So I assumed that may have been added on to interpret controller inputs. But anyway, I just tested with Dragon's Lair with no 3rd party controller mappers and the game ran just fine using my Xbox One Bluetooth controller. DPad was perfect Game button = A & Y. Coin 1 = L button Start 1 = R button So seems all good for me at least. Edited December 9, 2021 by 5thWolf Quote
