      Hello forum peeps!
      I'm very new here and need some help! Over the last few months I've been casually putting together some portable raspberry-pi emulator consoles. The most recent one I've put together is using a pi-zero and built completely within an original gameboy case. I purchased a gameboy controller pcb (this one http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/common-ground-dmg-button-pcb) so that i could use the original buttons and such(A, B, START, SELECT, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT). As I am far from a proficient coder getting the pi to recognize the pcb button inputs through the gpio pins was quite the task for me. Using Adafruits RetroGame I was FINALLY able to get emulation-station to work with the controls! However I can only navigate the menus of emulation station... as soon as i launch a game the emulator will not recognize my button inputs. I I've looked around the forum and internet for someone with the same problem and have found a few posts but dont really understand the steps needed to fix the issue. I apologize if this is a common problem and im just re-posting about it!

      Thanks a bunch for any help!

        Hello Loxley,
        I'm experiencing a very similar problem.
        I edited the retrogame.cfg in the boot folder and then set up the controller in emulationstation.
        Everything works in the menu like you described but when I jump into any game the controls have changed completely.
        Have you figured out how to solve this problem?

        Regards Jakob
