Ok, so I just figured it out. For some reason my controller was player 2 so I switched it back to player one using https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/6003hk/switch_controller_player_number/ and it was a big help

anything is possible, but tbh it looks like more truble than it will be worth. obviusly you will need to remove some of the board and you will most likely also need a new control board for the screen and will therefore most likely not fit inside the old case either. cosiddering all this and the fact that you had to ask if it was possible, i would say this is likely a job way above your skillset and not worth the efford, for you. personally i would just get one of the many kits available.

@Chuck_B lol. There is a tad bit of slowdown, but nothing detrimental.

@ignatius We don't offer support for 3rd party images - especially the ones sold with RetroPie - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Selling RetroPie is agains the project's license, so you just enriched a scammer. You should ask the seller for support.

@mitu I used a Sandisk Ultra 32GB MicroSD HC I the first time and worked fine. The other memory stick I used is the Micro SDXC 10 256GB MicroSD XC 1 1 (This memory stick I the one that’s giving me troubles). The power supply I used was a EasyAcc 5V 2A Micro USB power supply. The raspberry pi zero w was purchased from the adafruit website.

I tried buying one and it kept saying my cart was empty when I would click the add button. I'll just have to wait for the next batch. Amazon needs a better system here.

@mitu said in Unable to configure usb gamepad on Retropi 4.4: @ibshar said in Unable to configure usb gamepad on Retropi 4.4: in jstest it showed the controlller as Microsoft Xbox 360 pad Then it means it's already working as in 'Xbox mode'. And how to switch the controller to xbox mode? Look in the manual for the controller, I just saw it's possible in the item description you posted, I assume it's some button combination when you start it. Dude you're a life saver! Thanks a lot bro, i checked the manual and found that by default the controller uses Xinput mode(used by new games) so had to switch it to Direct input mode(used by old games) and then it started working.. Cheers..

@jackknife18846 From what I hear, the Pi Zero W has trouble running NES games without certain optimizations. I hate to say, but I doubt you're going to get N64 running well at all.
