      Hey everyone, I'm new here!

      I'm creating a online radio shell script using Whiptail for the GUI but I can not figure out how to get controller input working.

      I've had a look at the source code for the Retropie-Setup but I'm having no luck.

      Could someone please point me in the right direction?

      Current progress: radio.sh
      (Also please scrutinize my bash code, first time writing it)

      Cheers,

      Arran

        There's no link to the code (?).
        RetroPie uses a helper (joy2key) to translate gamepad inputs to keyboard keys, interpreted by the dialog screens. You can use the joy2keystart and joy2keystop as wrappers for your script - see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/helpers.sh.
