      Hello everyone,

      I'm using raspberry pi 3B
      I have installed berryboot for retropie version 4.0.2 it detects my keyboard as input device but doesn't recognise my Snopy USB-2901 joypad (says 1 gamepad detected which is my usb keyboard). I have made search but coudn't get it work. (And I don't have any folder called retroarch-joyconfig) Any idea?

      P.S: I'm a beginner at linux and raspberry pi.
      Thanks in advance for any help.

        The controller should still register event data, so if all else fails you can follow this guide.

          Thanks for your reply. I want to update the topic; I couldn't follow the link because I couldn't get F4 work as told in the guide (I think because of my keyboard). But I tried another joypad which is identical and that worked just well, really weird.

          And I wanna ask another question;
          Since raspberry is getting warm I have ordered heat sink with a fan (link is below) but it says running current is 0.2a and I guess that I cannot feed it from directly raspberry pi 3 (for which I have 2.5a adapter), or can I?
