      First time poster here. I recently installed the ControlBlock in a NES case and had success getting the power button and controller mapped for use within EmulationStation. The issue I'm having is some of the buttons aren't registering within retro arch and the reset button isn't working.

      I have it set as SNES in the config file and when I run jstest, the reset button appears to register as the l/r shoulder buttons and the start/select buttons map the same. Any ideas?

        I assume you have NES controllers connected. Is that correct?

        Could you post an image of your hardware setup here?

              I still didn't get a response back here, but the issue appears to exist between RetroArch and the ControlBlock. I can configure my nes pad within EmulationStation, and even go into RetroArch settings and select which buttons do what, but once I am in a game, only the DPad and B button are registering. All other buttons work elsewhere.

                Nevermind again. It was a remap file that was causing the issue. Thanks anyway....

                  Glad to hear that! I find your hardware setup very clear and logical. So far, I did not find anything on the driver site.
                  You mean it was an issue with a configuration file of RetroArch, right?
