Daphne (Batocera 5.26) not working.

UncleSlim

Screen goes black and returns to menu.

According to the daphneGenerator.py file located here : /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/generators/daphne

it says :

extension used .daphne and the file to start the game is in the folder .daphne with the extension .txt

romName = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(rom))[0]
frameFile = rom + “/” + romName + “.txt”
commandsFile = rom + “/” + romName + “.commands”

But that seems not to be right according the error log :

‘/userdata/roms/daphne/roms/dle21.zip/dle21.txt’

it should be :

‘/userdata/roms/daphne/dle21.daphne/dle21.txt’

The Filestructure is :

everything worked in Batocera 5.25.

by making a small change in the daphnegenerator.py and a small change to the filestructure i can make it work, but daphnegenerator.py gets overwritten when i reboot ..

Found this in a Recalbox forum :

Looking at the logs, it seems that the paths to the framefile and to the commands were not correct.

I modified the file:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/generators/daphne/daphneGenerator.py
like this (the old lines are marked with a black dot )

frameFile = rom + “/” + romName + “.txt”
frameFile = os.path.dirname (os.path.dirname (rom)) + “/” + romName + “.daphne” + “/” + romName + “ .txt ”

I don’t know anything about Python, but this seems to work for me .. I made the changes and saved the config with the “batocera-save-overlay” feature, so the changes doesn’t gets deleted when i reboot.

I didn’t make any changes to the commandsfile, since i don’t use any.
