      I'm trying to install my ControlBlock ver 1.6 on my Raspberry Pi 3 B with RetroPie 4.4. When I try to run "mkdir build && cd build && cmake .." it tells me that I'm missing the "CMakeLists.txt" file and I can't go any further. I see that this file exists in the "ControlBlock2" folder for the 2.x version installation...and I tried to copy this file to the "right" location but it still fails for me.

          @bertoruiz I think you need to type those command from inside the ControlBlock2 folder, so try to type cd <path/to/cb2folder> before running the build commands you mentioned in your post.

              For ControlBlocks version 1.X you need to use the driver at https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService. The instructions from https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService#downloading should work.

                Never mind, I just saw on Github that you have already tried using https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService. I take a look into it now.

                  I have also tried to subscribe to thread and I never get a notification when someone responds. I'll check in later this afternoon to see if you have been able to figure out my problem with the 1.6 version of ControlBlock. Thanks.

                    I ran the installation with the new instructions and it still fails. I've tried both the standard install process as well as the quick installation. Each time I used a clean install of RetroPie 4.4
