      Hello,

      is it possible to connect the new NES controller to the Raspberry Pie for RetroPie? I opened the controller and there are only 4 cables to connect. With the old controllers there were always 5 cables. Does anyone know the pinout of the new controllers? I would then connect the wires to the Raspberry via GPIO.

      Thanks.

        As with the old controller, there's no 1:1 mapping between the cables/wires and the actual buttons - you can't wire it directly to the GPIO and expect it to automatically work, you'll need a driver.
        When you're talking about the 'new' NES controller, do you mean the one for the NES Classic Mini or the one for the Switch ?
        The controller for the NES Classic Mini has the same port type as a Wii (U) Classic controller - see here and here for details.
