          Connecting it to GND on the ControlBlock is the way to go.

          If you cannot solve that issue, you could post some pictures here so that we might get an idea about your hardware setup.

              Did you ever found out what the problem was? I have a momentary switch connected to GPIO "Player 2 - B" and Ground on the Controlblock but it does nothing. I have checked for continuity and the switch is functioning like it should but software wise it does nothing?

                Seeing as this wasn't answered in months i'll debug it myself tonight and rewrite some things if i have to.

                  For the SNES gamepad type the ESC keyboard key is simulated, see also https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2/blob/master/src/controlblock/gamepads/SNESGamepad.cpp#L108. Maybe that points you into the right direction.

                    @petrockblog The "Reset" function on the ControlBlock does not work as advertised. Please look into this. I believe the firmware in the ControlBlock does not properly bind with Retropie. Has someone got this function working?

                      I will create a video that demonstrated that feature. I hope that it will also clarify some questions regarding the hardware setup and configuration. I will post that video here as soon as it is published in the next days here!

                        @petrockblog That will greatly help a lot of us who would want to see this working. Thanks.
