Thanks caver.. it seems strange that it would matter where I plug the cables in. at least as far as in to the zero delay board.
because once you map it in RPI then it is taken care of. Up down left right map just fine..
ill dig in a bit i guess.
thanks :)

Weird that mapping on the zero delay board was the problem... It truly shouldnt matter which port you use, because you just remap it later :)
either way, i dug in, put them right, and now it all works..
makes me feel better.
thanks

Cool! Lucky guess maybe. I read an older post that said that board also doesn't like sharing the ground amongst different buttons. I guess they each have their own? Weird. Still, I am glad the board works, as it is a common, inexpensive item that appears in button/joystick kits.

I work for Ingram Micro (distributor) in the UK and I used to sell Nimble as a complementary storage solution to my customers to cisco infrastructure (being a cisco specialist) but since the acquisition not so much lol

Would have loved one of these as a freebie from a vendor!!!! Hook a brother up!

Haha, thats awesome davidpearl :) I work with ingram a TON here in the states. Great disti for us. Nothing has changed since the acquisition David. My day to day is exactly as it was. The arrays are exactly as they were :). BUt yes, our cisco relationship has soured, as expected :)
You probably worked with Charlie and Nick Dyer? :) my boys

Very cool build, but how does HP handle the whole "giving out ROMs we don't own" thing?

dunginhawk

Im giving away machines. Not software. If they want anything on it, its on them. I just give them the link to retropie and let them go do it... Most of them are smart engineers. dont have an issue with it.

@dunginhawk I need another Pi project like I need a hole in the head, but I absolutely love this. If you decide to make these available in any sort of kit, please @ me.

dunginhawk

I am going to make it a kit, with just the laser cut acrylic pieces, so you assemble yourself. Easy enough... Is there a way to IM you through here? i couldnt find it.. but again, im not that bright haha
