Stumped by Legacy install

[jonskiv]

I had a working Retropie (Pi4) Daphne installed and working (but could not configure the Sanwa joystick/SJ@JX USB encoder via dapinput.ini) so giving the Hapseus a try since I read it is easier to configure the joystick. I followed the “Legacy Install” per link including enabling Singe extensions. After reboot and initiating start, it returns back to Emulation Station. Checking the log, I have numerous errors about “Could not load bitmap” (e..g, pics/led17.bmp, etc) and the last error line says [printerror@54] Video Initialization Failed! I attached a photo.

I don’t think i missed any steps in the install instructions, but may have overlooked some instructions somewhere else. Hoping for an easy fix. Can you point me to my errors? Also if anyone has configured the Sanwa joystick values for the hypinput.ini file and would kindly share, you would save me a ton of time.

Thank you!

That legacy install was written years ago, lots has been added and changed since those days, it was mainly there for info only.

As you can see from the error, lots of new bitmap images have been added, which would live in:

/opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/pics

There are other missing files that would appear following that too.

You could follow the errors and continue a manual install with the new files from the repo zip, but it would be far easier to just update RetroPie-Setup and install hypseus correctly via the experimental packages.

Or are you avoiding updating RetroPie-Setup for a reason ?

Thank you for the reply. I may have mistaken that the Legacy install was the proper approach if Daphne is already installed/working (so that was my misunderstanding). Would it be OK to just install hypseus over the top now (via the experimental packages) even though a partial hypseus install is already there (or do I have to remove everything first)? Also, if you have any tips for the Sanwa joystick values to put into the hypinput.ini, would appreciate the tips. When I run jstest on js0, I see these axes values for up (-32767)/down(32767) and left(32767)/right(-32767) for Axes 0 and 1, respectively. Thank you.

If you use RetroPie-Setup, both daphne and hypseus can co-exist. They use different install paths, so daphne can remain, but you may want to follow the back-out legacy instructions, or just re-install. You will have a choice of 2 emulators for the "daphne" games on startup.

The RetroPie hypseus config file that will be installed is here: hypinput.ini

The AXIS section looks like this:

[KEYBOARD]
KEY_UP = SDLK_UP SDLK_r 5 -002
KEY_DOWN = SDLK_DOWN SDLK_f 7 +002
KEY_LEFT = SDLK_LEFT SDLK_d 8 -001
KEY_RIGHT = SDLK_RIGHT SDLK_g 6 +001

From what you have described, you may want to change it to:

[KEYBOARD]
KEY_UP = SDLK_UP SDLK_r 5 -001
KEY_DOWN = SDLK_DOWN SDLK_f 7 +001
KEY_LEFT = SDLK_LEFT SDLK_d 8 -002
KEY_RIGHT = SDLK_RIGHT SDLK_g 6 +002

As per the docs, the AXIS number is incremented by 1, So:

+001 is first joystick detected, first axis, +101 is 2nd joystick detected, first axis etc......

-/+ determines the direction, so play from there.

There is a utility called hypjsch_cli (cli version), repo here: hypjsch. You can run this instead of jstest, it will give you more accurate readings for the config, across multiple joysticks detected. Just checkout the repo and compile using make.

I really appreciate your feedback and helpful reply. I will give it another go tonight. Also, great job putting this hypseus project together! Love being able to emulate DL & Space Ace on the RetroPie and use the joystick instead of PC keyboard

Thanks for the help. After uninstalling and re-installing via experimental packages, I was able to get Hypseus running as the emulator. I also have the Sanwa joysticks reacting properly (up, down, left right) via the hypinput.ini file thanks to the hypjsch_cli app.

Key_start1 and 2 are working fine.(assigned to Buttons 10 and 9 respectively)

But Key_Button1, 2, and 3 don’t seem to want to map. Those are the action buttons (sword for DL) right? Based on hypjsch_cli, 4 relevant buttons are: 002, 005, 006, and 003.

So trying to set Button 002 for “Key_Button1” I tried

KEY_BUTTON1 = SDLK_LCTRL SDLK_a 002
And
KEY_BUTTON1 = SDLK_LCTRL SDLK_a 2

But neither seem to work, even though the keyboard “LCTRL” key does work for sword. I tired assign 2, 3, 5 and 6 but none worked.

Another thing that’s weird is that KEY_SKILL1 seems to turn the scoreboard on/off in DL rather than KEY_BUTTON3 as indicated in the comments. Sorry, if this information is already provided elsewhere, but I couldn’t find it
