some (maybe useful) information I collected @petrockblog, using a Raspberry Pi 2 B

– The wiring in your guide shows another pin setup of the SNES controller as anywhere else (switched 5V/VCC and Ground) – inadvertently or intentionally?

– All the connections are working (tested as “arcade controller” with jstest as described above)

– With the controlblockconfig setting SNES, jstest shows all buttons as “off” if no controller is connected. After connceting a controller, all of the buttons switch to the “on” state and stay “on”.

– When overclocking (“Pi2” setting), the abovementioned behaviour changes and all buttons are shown as “on”, no matter if a controller is connected or not.

any ideas?
