      Did you update the firmware to the latest version?

      Does the GanepadBlock work with your PC? If not, it would seem to be an hardware issue with the GamepadBlock. Also, can you post an image of your hardware setup here?

      Maybe you did not install the USB HID quirks for Raspbian? It is a known issue with the older Linux kernels and is described here in the section "Installing USB HID Quirks for the GamepadBlock" at https://blog.petrockblock.com/2017/10/10/tutorial-gamepadblock-raspbian/.

      Do you mean that you needed to firmly press the USB cable into the connector to solve the issue? Anyway, glad to hear that things are working for you now!

      @johnny5126 Both have their advantages and disadvantages. If I were faced with only having one, I'd probably choose a USB HID-compliant controller interface, as it could still be key-mapped later if need be.

      Hi, It seems that using a different USB cable has solved the issue. I have successfully updated to 1.2.0. Many thanks

      Ok, thanks for the information. The buttons you guys suggested look better than I had envisioned. I didn't have any specific dimensions but I was more looking for something round so I can drill through the side plate vs. something square which I don't have equipment to do properly. :)

      @petrockblog said in GamepadBlock and 6-button genesis/megadrive controllers: Yes - the 6 button controller for Genesis can be used with the GamepadBlock. You can switch to 6 button mode with the button combination "A+B+C+Start+Up". Cheers! :)
