Hi,

Just to wrap-up this post.

I've built a prototype (image bellow) and I'm trying to see if everything is correctly positioned and usable. I end up using just a hotkey instead of dedicated admin buttons.

I'll open a new post to discuss it in the relevant area.

Thank you.

The third is name=gpio keys. So I guess that would mean the arcade controls of the picade are wired up via the gpio pins?

Well, yes - but the question was if it's detected as a keyboard or as a gamepad. I'm guessing it's a keyboard if it doesn't have any auto-configuration generated.

Would any of that help with getting Amiberry to recognise my controller?

Try to use the Wiki page for Setting up a Keyboard Controller.

@AlphaBetaPie Just to be sure: You are aware that nano is the actual text editor and sudo is only needed if you want to start it with root/administrative permissions? For any files that belong to the normal user (pi on Retropie), typing nano is enough to edit them, and you don't risk messing up their ownership.

I see. So Retropie and Retroarch are two different things... Ok ! Thanks for the clarification

This is very cool! Is is still alive and progressing?
