A+ can be directly connected to a PWM pin like GPIO18
A- connect to ground

What software are you using to unzip it?

Try 7zip.

Having trouble, please can someone help.

I can't copy the "Adafruit-Retrogame" folder into "/home/pi".

I've tried to add it to samba share but failed? Can I just download this folder on the pi without using a pc

Yes you can copy the folder any way you can.

Yes you can copy the folder any way you can.
Is there a way to change the GPIO number after I ran the script? 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.

If you have different GPIO pin assigments then you can edit the file retrogame.cfg to suit your needs.
First post of topic has all instructions.

And as I said in my post changing that did not work.
