Pleased to report the instructions here worked and can play Dragons Lair on my PI! Thank you all. The joystick mappings are not functioning so I may need to connect my bluetooth joystick run DaphneLoader.exe from within Windows –> Game –> Configure Daphne Options –> Input so I can get the key codes for use in the dapinput.ini file. Issue with jstest output is getting it to match like a the keylist codes which looking at my 8BitdoNES30Pro.cfg file under /opt/retropie/configs/all/retro-archjoypads has values some of which are string values and negative values. As a noob I’m guessing these 2 files are not apples to apples what I need to learn how to interpret and extrapolate the jstest results better into the dainput.ini file. Cheers.

Thanks so much, can’t wait to try this out!

You have done the heavy lifting. Thank you! My shell scripting is a bit deficient. So if I drop the script: /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/scripts/configscripts/daphne.sh into place (or it may just reside here (at work right now)) does it get run or referenced automatically when launching from within Emulation Station? I notice this cool shell script has two functions: onstart_daphne_joystick() and function map_daphne_joystick(). I can run the jstest to find my pad keys – $ jstest /dev/input/js0

Looking forward to helping Dirk the Daring save Daphne. As a 9 year old I could not afford the quarters.

Thanks for helping a clown. Quick question, is it only possible to play by keyboard or does this support 8Bitdo NES30 Pro Wireless controllers?

That would help a bozo like me. Is it a hard requirement to have a single dle21.m2v file and a single dle21.ogg file. In other words if I have the DVD files (multiple .m2v and .ogg) should install on Windows in order to obtain a single .mv2 file and a single .ogg file?

Exactly. With the stock image, I don’t have to restart. If there’s a performance boost to not launching through Emulation Station to get into OpenElec (and rather forcing a full restart of my pi via the dual boot to clean launch Kodi) then for me a perf boost dual boot is worth having over the stock retropie sd image. I suppose I should drop into ssh and list out system resources. Playback using stock retropie ported Kodi is pretty solid. Just wondering if I can’t take advantage of some plug in’s or if there’s something more I’m missing.

Thanks for the reply.

Basic question. What is the primary advantage of installing the dual boot image with Openelec on a separate partition rather than running the standard RetroPie image in a single partition and installing the port for KODI. Is it to avoid process contention or produce smoother playback? Thanks for any replies.
