I need help with that as well

Ok, I have managed to get dahpne running on android in past, but it is very tedious to setup and there are limitations. First I would recommend that you view this video :

 

Know that you will have to use retroarch and an unofficial daphne core to get things running. The video will explain which website you will have to go to, to get that core and how to install it on retroarch.

For a bit of background, at one time, someone was working on a retroarch core for daphne, but after 2 updates they stopped development, and the core was abandoned. The official core that was left behind had major bugs and was deemed unusable (most notably there were issue with the game audio not playing). However, the first update of the core worked fine with only some minor limitations, as result, someone was able to find that original core later on and posted it to the website noted on the video. Because of this, make sure that once you have the core installed that you disable core updates for that one core or else retroarch will try to update it to the 2nd update which will break functionality. 

On another note, there is another core being worked on for daphne called dirksimple. This core is a much simpler setup than the daphne core, however it is my understanding that it only plays dragons lair, while the daphne core mentioned above should play other daphne game such as dragrons lair two, space ace etc. Though I will admit that I did not test any other game  with the daphne core except dragons lair. The one issue that I did have was that the core would not exit properly and would just hang at a blank screen. 

Hope this helps

Which version of retroarch has the Daphne core?

Retroarch does not come with the daphne core built in because it is not being developed anymore. That is why you have to go to the website noted in the video, download the core and install it manually  in Retroarch.
