Arcade controls not responding

[thatguychad]

I have a ControlBlock on my Pi3 (fresh RetroPie 4.0.2+upgrades, controlblock service) and have wired P1 up/down/left/right/sw1/start/coin, but when EmulationStation launches and shows the 2 controllers, holding a button does nothing. Also, in jstest, all buttons show 'on' with no change in status when the joystick or buttons are actuated.

Have I wired the controls incorrectly? I'm using a JAMMA fingerboard adapted and plugged into the 30-pin Nintendo harness in the cocktail cabinet (Popeye) and all seems to be okay. I have continuity on the ControlBlock between ground and the switches/buttons when the corresponding direction/button is pressed, is that correct?

"Also, in jstest, all buttons show 'on' with no change in status when the joystick or buttons are actuated."

Check to see that you have the correct version of the ControlBlock library installed for your hardware version. Your symptoms are exactly what I experienced when I installed v2 instead of v1.

Thanks a lot, this did end up solving my problem! The power function of the ControlBlock was working fine and my soldering wasn't too horrible, so I was hoping it was something simple.
