How do I make an Atari Joystick connected by GPIO work in RetroPie
I just did a fresh install of RetproPie 4.2
I then went to Retropie Setup > Manage Packages > Manage Driver Packages > mkarcadejoystickInstalled it and rebooted.
Upon reboot my Atari Joystick connected via GPIO does not work
I then tried jstest /dev/input/js0
It shows my other USB NES Controller but I cannot find the Atari Joystick connect via GPIOWhen I go to Configure Input in Emulation Station, when I press the button on the Atari Joystick nothing happens.
My Emulation Station is currently configured with an USB NES Gamepad which I have used to navigate after doing the fresh install of RetroPie. But it does not detect my Atari Joystick attached to the GPIO
So I tried Resetting controller configuration by going to RetroPie Setup
Manage Packages -> Core Packages -> emulationstation -> Configuration or
Configuration / Tools -> emulationstation > Clear/Reset Emulation Station input configurationStill did nothing.
The Atari Joystick is wired properly to the GPIO as I have previously tested it with RetroGame from adafruit. But I did a fresh install of RetroPie because I wanted to use mkarcadejoystick.
This is the guide I used to wire the Atari Joystick.Basic information about my system setup.
RaspPi 1 B
fresh install of RetroPie 4.2 just added a couple of Atari ROMs to test Joystick.
