      New to retro pie and the forum as you can see I signed up today. Tried searching for this issue with no luck. I am using arcade controls (joystick and buttons) one player only in Retrovir through a raspberry pie using an ipac 2. All of my controls work but my joystick will only move one space instead of continuous movement while being held right or left. Not sure how to solve this. Thanks for any help!!!

            I’m starting to think it may have something to do with the micro switches. The switches only have two prongs. One for ground at the bottom and only one additional prong. I’m thinking this makes it always open??
