Help with Daphne emulator

[Jerry71]

I have Daphne up and running on my PC, I installed the latest version. The computer is installed in an arcade cabinet, but there is no internet access on there.  I started up DaphneLoader so I could remap the buttons and change a few things. I know it took the changes ok, because when I exit and restart DaphneLoader, all of my changes definitely show up in the options. And the config file also shows my changes. But when I start up Daphne (alone by a command line or through the frontend MAMEWah) and load a game, none of my changes are there - the controls aren't right.  Does anybody know what's going on?

I think it is a bug.  I had the same problem a bit ago.

I just used 99.6

Thanks, I will definitely give it a try.

Well I tried using an older version of Daphne.  But it came back with an error, it was looking for some random file.  Is this problem happening with anybody else using the newest version of Daphne?  I'm able to go into DaphneLoader and change any configuration I want, but when I start an actual game, the control changes aren't in effect.

Maybe this will help answer my specific case.

The computer I'm using in my arcade cabinet IS NOT hooked up to the internet. When I ran Daphne Loader, it always started up with two errors/pop up windows. I think one said something about not being able to go online to check for something. I would click ok, and then another popup mentioned not being able to update the controls, probably also because it couldn't go online. Clicking ok at that point started Daphne Loader ok. And my remapped controls were definitely in there. They just wouldn't work once I started up an actual game through Daphne.exe.

So hoping that was the problem, I downloaded Daphne again, and started up Daphne Loader on another computer, and it started up fine without any errors. I remapped the controls once again, and then I closed it and loaded it a few times to double check everything.

Then I copied my entire Daphne folder back into my arcade cabinet computer. But again, my remapped controls just wouldn't work.

I have had the same issue with GameEX where the Joystick, Buttons 1/2 work, but when I try to map Esc or Pause or Credit 1/2, the mapped keys show up as set, but don't work in GameEX as it runs Daphne.

Here's the very little help we have had at the Daphne forums: https://www.daphne-emu.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2310&sid=d361f69077e8020e4787e06bc3cb443d

Hope for the best.

are you clicking the apply icon after your settings are set?

[Jerry71]

Yes, definitely.  Along with the "apply to all games" thing.  I know it takes the config changes, because when I exit and reload Daphne Loader again, the changes are shown.  They just don't work in the actual games.
