RetroPie 4.1 mkjoystick not detected

Boogs

Hi Guys!
After I have set several RPis with Retropie, I have a problem with my last project.

Pi Model: B+
RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: Wired Keyboard

I've tried to install mkjoystick from RetroPie Setup ( P Manage Package -> driver Manage Driver Packages -> 813 mkarcadejoystick ).
At the end all seems OK. When rebooting no error is displayed, but no gamepad is recognized by emulationstation.

thanks to all!

I did the same (same configuration) and after reboot it's recognized just one joystick instead of two :/
With an old installation both joystick are recognized and works perfect..
Some idea ?

Thanks to all

@gas this was only recently included with RetroPie so it never existing on an old version, unless you are confusing it with the gamecon gpio driver.

@Boogs See the documentation here (you can skip the part about building it - retropie-setup has installed it, you just need to configure it correctly - https://github.com/recalbox/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi - check wiring / make sure you are in the right map mode etc.

Thanks for your answer, but as I wrote, I did several projects with Retropie and MkArcadeJoystick.
For my opinion there are some problem with this driver, infact I've tried to install mkjoystick v1.4 manually and now it works perfectly.

Thanks

@Boogs It worked last time I checked it - so I can't do more without more information (eg an install log showing the failure or a log showing the module failing to load - eg doing modprobe from a terminal etc)

seems to be fine here -

@BuZz Ok!
Now, due to I've already find a solution, I haven't retropie available to test again.

As soon as I can I will do a new installation in a fresh sd.

@BuZz with witch raspberry?

BuZz

@Boogs I used a rpi3 - but it shouldn't make a difference.

gas

@BuZz you are right, sorry, I was confusing with gamecon gpio driver

BuZz

@gas If you have a problem with that driver, please open a new topic and provide as much information as possible (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first)

Boogs

@BuZz FYI I've used pi model B+
