Re: Easy way to setup the controller buttons via GPIO
Can you post your retrogame.cfg here? I did an install with a different retrograme today and it is working fine.

I accidentally set start and A as the same button as 23 and now I switch start to another pin but its acts as the same pin after I reboot.First post of topic has all instructions.
Edit /boot/retrogame.cfg
Or
"Configure Input" from emulationstation

Re: Easy way to setup the controller buttons via GPIO
Question: I followed another sudomod poster's wiring diagram and would like to edit my configuration. My only issue is when I try to edit my cfg file it's totally blank. I don't know if it just didn't include anything in said file or if I got a bad install file or something else entirely. Is there anyway to edit my pins or am I SOL and need to do a completely new install?

Re: Easy way to setup the controller buttons via GPIO
Hello Tinkerboy,
I´ve tried your first method and there are some issues...
Buttons works in Emulatorstation, but not in the retropie "config area"...
With your second method - installing your complete image - everthing´s ok...
Whats the érror in the first method?
BTW, I´ve ordered two of your PCB´s...
best regards
chris

What do you mean by "config area"?
