      Hi,
      Ok so I have successfully wired a snes controller to the gpio pins on my pi to play games on retropie. I am now trying to wire a ps2 controller straight to the pi's gpio pins. I have followed the instructions in the readme file in '/usr/share/doc/gamecon_gpio_rpi/README.gz' and I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything correct but when i use jstest the controller can't be found... I run 'modprobe gamecon_gpio_rpi map=0,0,7,0,0,0' to load the controller but it fails. Is there something I'm not doing right? Or any new steps to make it work?
      Any help would be greatly appreciated!
