@djmoss I am so glad that things are working for you now. Happy Holidays!

Can you please send me an email? We will arrange a replacement I we cannot solve the issue.

Glad to hear that you made it work!

So far I did not explicitly test the GamepadBlock with a Neogeo controller. Can you post a link to the controller that you have?

Looking at the pin out at http://old.pinouts.ru/Game/NeoGeoJoystick_pinout.shtml the integration of Neogeo support should be quite easy.

Glad to hear that!

Hello, we found that the Linux/Raspbian service ModemManager interferes with the GamepadBlock. We released a possible fix for that:

Hope that helps!

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!

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.

Thanks a lot for that!
I have just announces it in a tweet, see https://twitter.com/petrockblog/status/1000702534674198533 :-)

Thanks for the feedback!

I just realized that like 5 minutes ago, just tested it and it works!
Stupid of me, but thanks for the reply!

Hi,

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

Many thanks

@petrockblog Hi there, just seen your response.

Yes, thank you, will be in touch.

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! :)
