      Hey guys,

      I've come a long way from when I first started building this setup but I've run into another snag. According to all the documentation concerning GPIO control pinouts, I can only have a 4 pinout joystick (x2) and 16 buttons (a,b,x,y,L,R, and Start and Select(coin)). I need at least one more placement for hotkey. Does anybody have any ideas as to what I can do to enable a hotkey button so I can exit games???

      I appreciate any advice.

      Thank you

        @scopaust As with other controller that don't have a hotkey, you can use Select instead of a hotkey.
