        Hi and welcome in the recalbox's world. So if you want to edit the recalbox.conf you can follow these steps. First get a root acces to your recalbox, then open your recalbox.conf with the editor, nano, using this command : nano /share/system/recalbox.conf Now edit your file to activate the GPIO driver. You must delete the ; and switch a 0 to 1 to activate a setting. So for the GPIO with 2 controllers you must have something like that :

        ## GPIO Controllers
        ## enable controllers on GPIO (mk_arcard_joystick_rpi)
        enable_mk_gpio=1
        ## mk_gpio arguments (map=1 for only one gpio controller)
        mk_gpio_args=map=1,2
        

        Ok, it is time to save the file, exit and reboot. So press ctrl+x to exit, then y and enter to save and the command reboot to ... reboot.
