any idea how to set this up in kodi?
Hi Hon, wondering if this is still working for you? I noticed you were on RA 1.7.7 when you made this. I have the current RA32 (1.7.8) and it is not working for me. I manually installed the test core that you linked to. There doesn't seem to be any association of the core with zip files because when I load content and browse to roms folder it shows nothing even though all my rom zips are there. If I try to load the core and then load content with current core and browse to my roms folder, same thing...doesn't "recognize" zips. Maybe I missed a step but I double checked.
Thanks...Piper
Still working as I reverted back to 1.7.7!
1.7.8 as you know switches to 32 or 64 bit depending on what is native to the device. RA64 is missing a lot of cores so is of no use to me. 1.7.8 32bit (aka ra32.apk) didn't work with Hyperspin from my limited testing, another experienced HS forum member confirmed it didn't work for him either. So I will stick it out with 1.7.7 until the issues are resolved, 1.7.8 is a relatively new release so we have to be patient
I'm trying this system tonight! I bet that although this might not be the most difficult one, at least it will still be one of the most difficult old systems to emulate. 😅 Gotta brace myself for the black screen and freezes.. 😁
I only had success with the "alpha test core" NOT the official core we can download in RA. This "alpha core" only works for 32bit NOT 64bit versions of RetroArch. I use RetroArch_RA32 on my Shield TV and Phone
@@Honosuseri I have my folders ready 😄 . And Yes, I am also going with android emulation. I use the 32 bit RA installed as well. Just not yet brave enough to try it out. It could really be a pain in the ass when configuring these. This is one of the very few systems I have yet left to try. 😁
@@Honosuseri I'm using latest 32bit version 195 still won't load can't find version 1.7.7 can you share the RA 1.7.7.?
Well, got it going on my tablet, but now confused about controll mapping. As a result, can't insert coins.
I followed your video how to install the daphne core but is not loading when I choose it. I already installed it but for some reason is not loading when I load core.
If you're using Retroarch 1.7.8 it won't work. I've reverted back to 1.7.7 32bit and installed the .so file manually, it's working on my Shield TV. I have to ignore prompts from google play to update Retroarch on my phone and STV.
Is there a version of the core for 64bit retroarch?
also,when I install it and try to load a rom,it says failed to open libretro core
Hi friend, I'm using Retroarch on linux and I was able to make Daphne run, but it is muted without sound, is there any correct directory or configuration for Daphne to read the .ogg audio files?
You can see my directories in the video Marcelo. The ogg files live with the m2v files, each game has it's own folder. The Frame File folder has the txt files, one for each game and you state the directory for each game for it to locate the game files.
I'd love to try and help you out with Linux but currently I'm busy, testing Lightgun games in VR with EMUVR which uses Retroarch 1.7.5 in the background. I wish you luck with it, let me know how you get on
I should add I'm using a test core for Android in this video NOT the official core from the RA buildbot. On PC I use the official Daphne emulator and the Singe version, I don't use Retroarch. Maybe the audio issues are to do with the core itself
@@Honosuseri Firstly thank you very much for your reply, something unusual in most people, I have been thirsty for many years now to see Daphne running on Retroarch, then if I get this done I will make the adaptation to work on Batocera, there is no way possibility with time you help me? I have no hope, it seems that nobody cares about Daphne, very sad that friend!
@@marcelosofth Sadly no my free time is limited. I already have a project on the go for the Commodore Amiga, getting that sorted for Hyperspin on PC and then eventually Android.
I've taken on testing light gun games (mame, nes, snes, megadrive, mastersystem, Saturn, Dreamcast and Playstation) in VR using EMUVR too. EMUVR uses Retroarch 1.7.5, so I will eventually test the official Daphne core and see if those games could be played in EMUVR
@@Honosuseri Perfect and wonderful friend, agent combines the useful with the pleasant hehehe! keep me informed please, you are my last and only hope my friend! a hug and I'm here! ^ _ ^
please could you share you daphne files with me? i want to play this badly in android and cant play it i´ve already tested many ways! please!
This is an old video, I now have a Steam Deck for emulation. I've given up doing it in Android and deleted the files from my phone and shield tv
Does anyone have this test core? It's nowhere to be found any longer! Many thanks in advance!
Went through my old backups, not sure if this is the same alpha test core used in the video. I've stopped doing emulation on Android so I've not tested it, I've "wasted" enough time looking for this .so file. Remember you have to use the 32bit version of Retroarch not the version from the Google Play Store (most likely 64bit). You're welcome to try it, report back if it works and I'll add the link to the description of the video.

@@Honosuseri I am so very appreciative of you taking the time to reply and post this file for me and for all of the hard work that you have done for the community! I will certainly ensure that I reply if I have success with it. I've tried absolutely everything else but this. Have a wonderful day!
You're welcome. Rezznate must have deleted it "recently" from the link I was using. I've seen a few other people asking for the core, so that urged me to look through my backups. Fingers crossed it works for you, all the best with it.
@Honosuseri Alas, I haven't had any luck with it yet, but I'm going to keep trying. I'm actually part of the development crew for the iiRcade revival community, (a now-defuct home arcade cabinet). I've got it to flip to RA from Launchbox, (as opposed to a black screen or a full-on immediate crash), and I have some promising log results. Alas, it now crashes at this point:
Alas, I will keep on trying and I (we all) appreciate your contribution!

I’m late to the party. Does this still work? Thanks 🙏
Don't know. I gave up on emulation with Android devices a long time ago.
@@HonosuseriI read on Reddit that it still works with the 32 version and they are giving you credit. Two quick questions. When you move the txt files to the firmware folder, do you delete them from their original folder? The path that appears on the firmware folder text file, do you write that manually or how does it appear? Mine still shows a dot. Lastly, how do you start games that have multiple rom zip files from retroarch?
The "dot" in the framefile is to say that all the files listed in it are also in the same directory (i.e folder). Some people might have downloaded files and they were pointed to a C drive for a windows setup for example.
I used to use Hyperspin as a frontend on Android. It would only recognise certain zip files named in it's database and would then launch the games with retroarch we chose. As I said I gave up on it ages ago because of Google's changes to the OS. I did modify Hyperspin to use the 32bit version of Retroarch but since I got a Steam Deck I do most of my emulation with that now and the Batocera OS.
@@HonosuseriI might get a Steam deck down the line. I’m trying to do this on an RG505. Could you point me out to where to find the 1.7.7 32 bit RetroArch version? I can seem to find a good one. Much appreciated.
I don't really use Retroarch standalone anymore, only what's built in to software like Batocera or Emu VR. Don't know if you tried archive.org?
