      I just built a two player board with two SANWA joysticks and buttons. I have no idea how to configure it. I really need help with this. I posted pictures and info below.

        @stevefo we really need more specifics. Please answer the questions from the read this first posted at the top of this page. We also have no clue how you connected the controls to the pi.

                ok, I've made some headway here. I am able to set up both joysticks and buttons through emulation station. I then went into Retroarch to map my buttons ex. (B,A,R etc). I'm just trying to figure out how I can map a coin button and player 1 and or player 2 button. As you can see I have plenty buttons to map as dedicated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                  Another question. When I map buttons in Retroarch, do i still need to hit the tab button on my keyboard to enter in other inputs while in a Mame game?
