I'm working on my first GBZ Build and I need to wire the controls, but I don't know if I should wore it up to the GPIO or get a Teensy.

Either one is fine, really. Lately I've been favoring GPIO input using Adafruit's retrogame library: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame

This would work with the Zero W, right? I'm new to the raspberry pi/Linux thing and I'm not sure what to do
