I modified this part:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Before the final “exit 0″ line, insert this line:

/home/pi/Raspicade-Retrogame-2Player-Pi2/retrogame &

to:

sudo /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Adafruit-Retrogame/retrogame &

I placed it there, because that’s the folder I had access to from my PC over Network.

Today I got a Measure Device. So after some testing I found out, that my wiring ist pretty bad, only 2 of 6 Player1 buttons seem to work and only 1 Joystick direction.
I used an old IDE Cable and cutted of one end to connect the wires to the Buttons.

After that I started all over with a new SD Card. I Installed Retropie on it using win32 Disk Imager. Then expanded the file system, changed memory split to 256 and reboot.
I copied the folder Adafruit-Retrogame from my pc to the pie into the roms folder.

I think my mistake was thinking the Retrogame makes the Buttons work in EmulationStation, but when connected to a MAME Rom and opening the Input Config there is a reaction to the Buttons. Unfortunately not the way I wanted. The Pins I thought I configured to be KEY_A turns out to be DOWN.

I think I will renew the whole wiring.

@proaudiosoft: I followed your tutorial, but still I don’t get any reaction when using my arcade buttons or joysticks.
I also modified retrogame.c to fit my GPIO connection setup.

Should I now be able to Navigate through Emulation Station with the Joystick? By now this ist not possible.
Is there a way to test the Button / GPIO Connection?

Greetings
Tobias
