Hi devil78

It’s not the mk_arcade_joystick program or the buttons not working in emulation station that is the problem. It is which buttons are using which pins that is the issue.

I need to change what buttons use what GPIO pins in the mk_arcade_joystick program and there is no way of doing this unless the program is recompiled.

I am trying to work out how to do this.

Hi

I managed to get the ada-retrogame config working with emulationstation and retropie 3 but sometimes when playing a game it would fire and move at the same time.
Possibly because I had the mk_arcade_joystick software installed as well.
I followed the instructions on the adafruit site and it managed to work.

I would prefer the mk arcade joystick software to work but may have to go down the retrogame path

There is a way to edit the mk_arcade_joystick.c file to change the pins but I don’t know how to recompile it.

If someone knows how to recompile linux .c files I would love to know.

Hi

Just though i’d let you know i have resolved the issue.
I didn’t plug the 3.5mm plug into the raspberry Pi far enough (slow clap please)

Once i plugged it in properly everything is working and displaying on the screen

thanks
