Glad to hear that you are making progress! It should always be possible to use the ControlBlock together with any USB controller. You would just need to run the input configuration for each device on EmulationStation. All controller types should be recognised and working afterwards. Regarding your question about the need for an additional keyboard: What you would need to do is to configure the emulators such that you have full control with your arcade / gamepad controls only. That should be possible. Hope that helps!

Hi, firstly, the thing of DragonRise Controller is weird, I have agamepad and is also recognizable as a DragonRise, but I guess it happens when the controller s not officil. Second, arcade joysticks (The ones you bought) are not analog, they are 8-way sticks. Anyway, there are a few N64 games that work with the pad, like Kirby one.

@schmiddyman said in 2 joystick cabinet configuration issues: gpio=13,11,15,19,10,8,-1,16,18,-1,-1 gpio2=31,29,33,35,24,-1,-1,26,-1,32,36,-1,-1 From a cursory view. Unless you used the hotkey-btn branch your provided list for gpio2 is too long. In your gpio parameters you provide 16 Pins/Buttons but initially you mention 15 buttons?! However, good to see you found a different solution.

@redrumpanda Some things you can't dumb down much further, and the Wiki is already written (mostly) to be understood by laymen. But you'll need to be willing to learn and that always requires some time and effort. Let's start by collecting more information: Which operating system is on your Laptop? Are your Pi and Laptop connected via network?

@dankcushions Thanks man

Hi Guys My Controller is finished and it work very well wireless YEAH Here are some Pictures of it:

@caver01 I second this. On the BYOAC forums there's lot of advice to find regarding the build itself, but note that not everyone thinks very highly of Raspberry Pi's there, so questions regarding this is better asked in this excellent site :)

Wow, it looks awesome.

If you require 2 players with joystick and up to 8 buttons on each control (equivalent to SNES controller) you could hook up directly to the gpio using mkarcadejoystick module that is in the drivers in Retropie. I have 2 cabinets using this system.

@ecks I have no idea what plywood putty is, but if you just use a common wood putty or wood filler there is no need to wear gloves, you just use your finger and or putty knife to apply it. Read the instructions on your wood putty.

@nicolassiandro yeah just to confirm they both have to be wired the same. I tore my hair out with this one and it turned out i'd wired the 2nd joystick wrong...

@simonster yesss thanks so much! That was it, I had to renter the config and configure p2, I thought that for some reason if I re enter the config menu it would start over! MAME libretro works with the arcade buttons, mame4all doesn't, neo-geo also works correctly, did not test with the rest. Thanks a lot. :D
