[quote=117172]It would be great if we could flip a physical switch on the outside of the cabinet to activate a software switch – If not that then a menu setting within the retropie settings would do just fine as well!
[/quote]It wouldn’t be hard to do just that, assuming you can start the arcade joystick drivers from command line. Just use a python script that starts via /etc/rc.local
and evaluate the state of a switch connected to the gpio and start one driver or the other based on that evaluation.
Here’s a little info on working with the gpio. Obviously, you’d want a toggle switch here rather than a tactile switch.
