Please Help!!!
I am trying to do a similar thing but i’m having issues getting a psx (original, no analog sticks or dual shock) controller to work. I have the psx controller connected to my 512mb rpi as follows:
PSX RPI GPIO
Pin 1 > Pin 3
Pin 2 > Pin 8
Pin 4 > Pin 6
Pin 5 > Pin 1
Pin 6 > Pin 10
Pin 7 > Pin 12

I have installed the RetroPie SD image ver. 1.5. Expanded filesystem using raspi-config and ran the following commands:

sudo su
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y git dialog
cd
git clone git://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup.git
cd RetroPie-Setup
chmod +x retropie_setup.sh
./retropie_setup.sh

From the RetroPie setup I did:
#3 Setup
#9 Install/update multi-console gamepad drivers for GPIO

Then from another terminal using SSH:
zless /usr/share/doc/gamecon_gpio_rpi/README.gz (instructions)
modprobe gamecon_gpio_rpi map=0,0,0,0,7,0
tail /var/log/kern.log (screenshot “psx verify.png”)
apt-get install joystick
jstest /dev/input/js0 (screenshot “jstest js0.png”)

After a reboot, RetroPie starts with the splash saying no “Press a button on the device for player 1, No joysticks detected, press f4 to quit” and pressing a button does nothing. I have take a multimeter to pins 4 & 5 on the psx and am getting 3.3v so i know the voltage is ok. Is there a step I’m missing? I found my sources on a few different sites considering I was unable to find a good tutorial that gave all the steps needed.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!
