... but I'm looking for some help.

I'm using helder's AIO and i'm wiring buttons to GPIO following this http://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57.
Once I boot into ES i'm getting No Gamepads Detected. Correct me if I'm wrong but nothing has to be programmed at this point for me to be able to press buttons to then map within ES right? Also, do I need L/R wired up yet for all buttons to work?

I feel like if I can get this part working I should be able to finish this up. Any help is much appreciated.

if your buttons are wired to GPIO....
your button pcb isnt recognised yet....
it will need to be "programmed"

then you need to boot up with a keyboard connected, you'll first map the keys with the keyboard
(try to map these as those in your retrogame.config, this will save you any headaches once retrogame is installed)....

then you'll need to install retrogame....
following the instruction found in the post you have linked........


if you run into any issue, just ask....

I knew it had to be something stupid like this. I misinterpreted that thread. I was thinking I would be able to actually map the buttons on first boot, as in press buttons on gamepad. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll give that a try.

no probs, it happens to the best of us.....

another thing....

your also gonna need to be hook up to the internet (i think you rocking a Pi Zero) so a wifi dongle will also be needed.....


edit: i see its Pi Zero W, not needed.....

Ok got keyboard hooked up and wifi connected. Copied retrogame to /home/pi/Adafruit-Retrogame and ran the following
Got the following:
I'm getting a syntax error with the following:
Any ideas?
Edit:
Looks like i needed to save the original file as retrogame.c then when you run make retrogame it makes the executable.

Thanks @Codemaster123 but it looks like i have it working. So I'm gonna roll with it for now. If anything screws up I'll try the method you listed.

Holy cow, i'm so happy to get past this hurdle. Now onto hooking up battery, power switch, and audio!

Buttons are working and I've moved onto wiring up the speakers. I followed this diagram:


I'm hearing noise in the speaker but not audio.

have you enable pwm audio in the config.txt


dtoverlay=pwm-2chan,pin=18,func=2,pin2=13,func2=4
disable_audio_dither=1

.

Again, thanks VeteranGamer, that was it.

Once I get batter and power switch finished i'll be done!
