      Hi,

      I'm building a Pi arcade machine, but have had real trouble with the consoleblock, just isn't working.

      What did everyone else use to connect the buttons?

        @m312 I have used the gpio, and the adafruit retrogame code to convet the button presses into pretend keyboard events

        Other ways I have seen is to use a microcontroller like a teensy or Arduino to do the job
