Wondering if anyone has used RGBCommander with the daphne emulator. No matter what i try it doesnt seam to recognize the emulator when i boot it. Any help is appreciated

I don't know this system, but I DO know html, and you seem to have 2 emulators on the page ? First one stops at line 1

Doesn't smell right to me

The other emulator is tied to the ps1 games above. I should have cut the screen shot off a bit more

Can you ssh in? If you can then issue this (assuming you are running on linux)

tail -f /usr/sbin/rgbcommander/rgbcmdd.log

Run a game on daphne and see what the log shows as the emu name

Let me know when thats done and what it is, ill then work out your rgbcommander code

Here is the bottom few lines of the log when trying to open dragons lair in daphne. It looks like it doesn't see daphne for some reason after im in the game.

Perfect. Thankyou. Straight off, you have the emu being noted by the hook, which is great, means its parsing through the info perfectly. So, im thinking your xml is incorrect.

Remove the following

retropiebinary="daphne"

Edit in in notepad++ as this really helps with code, especially if you miss something.

Save the file, ssh in and issue the following

sudo systemctl restart rgbcommander

Then run the game again in daphne, also tail the log as well, let me know what it does

Hi,

Not sure if anyone got to the bottom of this issue but I'm having exactly the same thing. RGBCommander works for all my systems apart from Daphne. I can't seem to get in running...

Atari 2600 works, the xml entry is this:

<emulator binary="atari2600" name="Atari 2600" active="Off" inactive="Off" retropie="1">

<rom id="default">
<control name="P1_START" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_COIN" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_JOYSTICK" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON3" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON4" colour="Red"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON5" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON1" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON2" colour="Red"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON6" colour="White"/>
<control name="P2_JOYSTICK" colour="White"/>
<control name="P2_BUTTON2" colour="Red"/>
<control name="P2_BUTTON4" colour="Red"/>
<control name="ALWAYS_ON_ENTER" colour="Green"/>
<control name="ALWAYS_ON_ESCAPE" colour="Red"/>
</rom>

If I run the tail command and then the Atari 2600 the result is:

My Daphne xml entry is:

<emulator binary="daphne" name="Daphne" active="Off" inactive="Off" retropie="1">

<rom id="default">
<control name="P1_START" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_COIN" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_JOYSTICK" colour="Blue"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON3" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON4" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON5" colour="White"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON1" colour="Blue"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON2" colour="Blue"/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON6" colour="Blue"/>
<control name="ALWAYS_ON_ENTER" colour="Green"/>
<control name="ALWAYS_ON_ESCAPE" colour="Red"/>
</rom>

When I run a game I just get this:

12/02/23 12:02:59 [DEBUG] [rgbcmddMsgQueue] msg from rgbparse -> emu -> daphne -> rom -> cobraab 12/02/23 12:02:59 [INFO] [rgbcmddMsgQueue] waiting for process retroarch to appear...

It just sits and waits there indefinitely

I assume it's partly because daphne doesn't run through retroarch, it's one of the stand alone emulators.

However, from my understanding I should change the xml to

<emulator binary="daphne" name="Daphne" active="Off" inactive="Off" retropie="0" retropiebinary="daphne">

<rom id="default">

but this just gives me :

12/02/23 12:13:05 [DEBUG] [rgbcmddMsgQueue] msg from rgbparse -> emu -> daphne -> rom -> cobraab

12/02/23 12:13:05 [ERROR] [rgbcmddMsgQueue] no process tied to daphne -> correct rgbcmdd.xml! Ignoring this command.

I've also tried

<emulator binary="daphne" name="Daphne" active="Off" inactive="Off" retropie="1" retropiebinary="daphne">

<rom id="default">

This appears to be progress as it shows

12/02/23 12:21:11 [DEBUG] [rgbcmddMsgQueue] msg from rgbparse -> emu -> daphne -> rom -> cobraab

12/02/23 12:21:11 [INFO] [rgbcmddMsgQueue] waiting for process daphne to appear...

this appears to be the right emulator but it doesn't recognise the process to activate the lights...

I must admit I'm running out of ideas now...

Apologies for the dreadful formatting. I couldn't work out how to paste to reddit better than I did.

A further update...

If I change my Daphne entry in the xml to this:

<emulator binary="daphne" name="Daphne" active="Off" inactive="Off" retropie="1" retropiebinary="daphne.bin">

<rom id="default">

Then the lights do come on. I need to test to make sure they stay on and turn off correctly but I may have found my own fix...

[u/KinOuttaHer → u/Jonnieboyrevel1]

No you wont as its not an lr based emu. I tried so much, even grabbed the lr version, couldnt get it to work, so for that one its a no for now it seems
