Re: tinkerboy 2.0.1
Make sure the Adafruit utility software is running from the background. Check if it's in /usr/local/bin/ directory and see if its configured to run from boot by checking /etc/rc.local.
I have also updated the wiring diagram for the tinkerBOY Controller v2.0.1 for the PWM audio. So instead of GPIO18 it uses GPIO13 for the PWM audio. You can just use the new pre-built RetroPie image with GPIO controller support I made.

tinkerboy 2.0.1 gpio help
ok so ive tried to preform this In order to use the Adafruit Retrogame program for the GPIO controller inputs with the tinkerBOY Controller v2.0.1, you just need to uncomment the line # /usr/local/bin/retrogame & from /etc/rc.local and edit the file at /boot/retrograme.cfg to match your GPIO configuration. i have tried to do this via pc and in cmd console...i am beyond lost on how to un # the comment. please refer to my eailier post https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=7369 . if i can get a step by step that would be greatly appreciated i am unsure of what i am doing at this point and lost on google. I have found the /boot/retrograme.cfg but the other ones i cant locate. i am using what tinker boy has said to use for the image

Re: tinkerboy 2.0.1
Does your Emulation Station boots up?
If it does, if you have a spare usb port, you must connect a keyboard... Press F4 to enter terminal (like ms-dos)
Otherwise, must use a usb gamepad to go to retropie settings and activate ssh. This way you can use putty on you PC to access your pi and enter terminal mode also.

Re: tinkerboy 2.0.1
ok, so, just a shot in the dark... is your board grounded?
also, maybe try just testing them as buttons, and see if you get anything with that. here's a video and sample code that will let you do a simple test:
