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 Edited September 28, 2023 by Vader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionBackPack Posted September 28, 2023 Author Share Posted September 28, 2023 Which version of retroarch has the Daphne core? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionBackPack Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 So how do I go about getting the right retroarch and then how do I install the daphne core into the app so that it sees it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
