It cannot be used as Controller Button - at least not in default state. This button is connected to GPIO pins, that is as internal hardware signal. However in default setting Retropie recognizes only USB input devices and GPIO does not behave as one. In order to do so, you would have to configure t...

It's GPIO 17 sorry for this was unclear! And sorry about the need to validate the post, I receive a lot of spam so I had to implement that.

Hi Guys All the USB sockets and chargers I own are 5-5.2V so slow charging is an issue for me also. Would a combination of these two items be a good solution to reduce the charging voltage? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122436407957 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152653292349 :?: I also have one of those ...

Cheers for reply

I have tried using the program 'retrogame' to program the button but having followed the instructions, still cannot get it to simulate a keypress.

Fancy giving it it a go?

There is an app called retrogame which appears to be exactly what we need here. However, having installed it and mapped GPIO pin 17 to ESC, the button does not register in MAME or the Emulation Station configuration input. https://learn.adafruit.com/retro-gaming-with-raspberry-pi/adding-controls-sof...

I found a small note in the installation guide...

“5 - V1.2 Has some difference :

Button with a lightning bolt at the back is now a GPIO button.”

So what can we do with the his GPIO button??

The RetroArch hotkey for ‘Reset’ is ‘Select+B’.

Could the select key be sticking? Or could this hotkey be messed up in some way?

Just a thought.
