@Freddy00 Driver installation with sudo ~/Retropie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh should work. If you want to review the compile log see zless ~/~/RetroPie-Setup/logs/rps_2019-03-15_194311.log.gz when back on commandline (your date and time may vary).

You can type lsmod alone, you should spot the mk_arcade... driver loaded.
(If the command still is not found you should install kmod, but it should be already there, so there should no need to issue sudo apt-get install kmod.

Then, and only then when lsmod shows the module, proceed with https://github.com/recalbox/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi#auto-load-at-startup edit the mk_arcade_joystick.conf and change the map=1 to map=1,2. Save the file, reboot and then you can configure your joysticks with emulationstation.

If you use the retropie_setup.sh method you should succeed. If not please do post the build log as noted above.

PS: I would refrain from following the Github tutorial from A to Z, a) it is tailored towards another Retro-Distro (Recalbox), b) if you get stuck it's hard to help and c) last but not least this is a forum about Retropie-Distro (and not Recalbox).

Hi,

I have followed much of the same process as on here, I have up/down/left/right/a/b/x/y all working ok.

Start and select don't work however. In the config file I have the following:

SELECT 6 # 'Select button'
START 16 # 'Start button'

I noticed in the list of commands does not include 'start' and 'select' (i looked at the kerTable. file referred to on adafruit tutorial) so maybe it should be SPACE and ENTER, I tried this but still does not work in emulationstation or when playing a game.

Any ideas?

I am just using arcade buttons and a joystick.

Just to check, does the part after the # matter? I thought this was just a reference in the code to the person reading it so they knew what that button/PIN did.

@caver01 As you found, I just use alsamixer from the command line - works great. Generally, I just access it via ssh from my phone and make the adjustment.
