      Hi, I would like to use a SNES controller over GPIO. Unfortunately alot of pins are already taken by my display:

      GND Ground
      5V 5V Power Supply
      GPIO18 Display Backlight, can be set to GPIO12 with Jumper BL
      GPIO23 Display Reset
      GPIO24 Display Command/Data Select (DC/RS), Jumper IO24-RS
      GPIO8 (CE0) Display Chip Select
      GPIO7 (CE1) Touchcontroller Chip Select
      GPIO25 Touchcontroller Interrupt Output
      GPIO9 (MISO) SPI Master-In Slave-Out
      GPIO10 (MOSI) SPI Master-Out Slave-In
      GPIO11 (SCK) SPI Clock

      I can detach the touch panel, but I would still lack GPIO23 for latch. Is there any way to reroute it to one of the unoccupied pins? Is it possible to get the driver source anywhere? Maybe I could compile a version with different pin settings.
