Tried this exactly as you wrote but with the current stable build on a Pi3b. What happens is this: https://i.imgur.com/KJeZjIa.jpg
Here is my config:
## GPIO Controllers
## enable controllers on GPIO with mk_arcarde_joystick_rpi (0,1)
controllers.gpio.enabled=1
## mk_gpio arguments, map=1 for one controller, map=1,2 for 2 (map=1,map=1,2)
#controllers.gpio.args=map=1,2
controllers.gpio.args=map=5 gpio=5,4,14,22,13,18,21,16,6,20,26,12,-1
@cheungbx Thanks for your description! Tried that with 4.4.13-v7and always receive a segmentation fault after this:
# rmmod mk_arcade_joystick_rpi
# insmod /lib/modules/4.4.13-v7/extra/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi.ko map=4 gpio=5,4,14,22,13,18,21,16,6,20,26,12,18
Have a Pi 3b.
Any ideas?
I actually took this tool from adafruit: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame/blob/master/README.md
With this you can easily remap your GPIOs to a virtual keyboard without resoldering it. I don't know any other way to do that. If I try to configure my controller without "retrogame" and with controllers.gpio.enabled I am not able to use every button.
I think this is the reason why retrogame does not work:
Beside keyboard as a gamepad is not supported in recalbox, most emulators won't work
But in the meantime I figured out, that I had to to the follwing. Now the buttons start, x and y work, but not the whole set. I also opened an issue on github as that place may be a bit more specific for a possible solution.
Anyway. Here is how the GPIOs are connected to my buttons:
A > 21
B > 16
Start > 13
Select > 18
Right > 22
Down > 05
Up > 04
Left > 14
X > 20
Y > 26
Here is also an example config from Adafruit Tools retrogame: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame/master/configs/retrogame.cfg.zero
If you could provide me any other "HowTo" that enables me to use all of my buttons in recalbox without rewiring it, I would really appreciate it.
By the way: In retropie everything works like a charm. But I don't want to use it! 
Yes, I configured it in ES.
No, I didn't activate GPIO in recalbox.conf. If I set controllers.gpio.enabled to 1it does not work because the system then will double press a button (keyboard and Controller) so I am unable to configure the controller correct in ES.
Due to this french instruction it also says "deactivate GPIO" in recalbox.conf: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Touches-du-clavier-via-GPIO-(FR) Or did I translate it wrong?
Hey all!
I have a GameBoy Zero (with Rpi3b) and buttons soldered to the GPIOs. I remapped them with adafruit retrogame to my keyboard.
Everything works very well in emulationstation! But after launching a game, doesn’t matter which one, I am not able to use the controller.
What am I doing wrong??
@zing said in WiFi on recalbox 4.1 is very unstable:
@alfajackal This is probably the case, the compatibility list warns that these dongles have this problem.
I know! Because I added that! 
So literally I warned myself! Unfortunately I don’t have a time machine... 
Okay, changed wifi.region from US to DE; it already was enabled.
But I think I figured out the issue: It must be my Anker keyboard and mouse! It seems that these two (!) dongles newly make some problems (as already mentioned, it was never a problem in previous versions). After disconnecting the dongles the wifi is stable.
@zing said in WiFi on recalbox 4.1 is very unstable:
@alfajackal Sorry, try all of the procedures that have been suggested in this topic:
https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/16393/wifi-is-not-working-on-pi-3b-or-pi-3bHave you tried on more than one different wi-fi (eg, a friend's house)?
Thanks for your reply and providing me this thread, I also read before.
I am able to connect to my WiFi and two other different WiFi’s. None of the mentioned things in the other post applies except of „wifi.region=DE“. The connection is still unstable and breaks for e.g. when transferring ROMs.
I will try setting the region to DE later.
@zing I have a RPi2 with the Latest image from https://archive.recalbox.com/
Unfortunately I did not find any proper solution when searching for WiFi in the forum. That is why I opened this thread.
Before I switched to the latest release I had an old 4.0.0 installed and everything ran very well with my Edimax Wifi dongle.
Which version do you have installed? The latest one has some issues with the scraping - it simply doesn't work. Wait for an update...
Ah, sorry, my fault: I have the newest version, just mixed the numbers.
Hi all,
I have a massive issue with these two (compatible) wifi dongles:
The connection to my WiFi mostly aborts when I try to copy ROMs or several other (larger) files via Explorer or SFTP to recalbox. Sometimes recalbox also crashes - only switching off and on helps. In addition to this, it also does not automatically connect to WiFi after rebooting.
If I connect an ethernet cable everything works perfectly. WiFi has no special characters.
Any ideas to fix it? Or recommendations for a better WiFi dongle?
Gibt es hierzu eine Lösung? Würde gerne HDMI und DSI nutzen, bei mir geht aber nur das DSI 7“ PiTFT...
Thema kann geschlossen werden! Sehe, dass ab 4.0.1.x massive Änderungen gekommen sind, die nicht abwärtskompatibel sind.
Werde die ROMS sichern und das neue Image installieren. 
Hallo zusammen,
ich habe mein Recalbox reaktiviert und würde ihn gerne updaten. Aktuelle "Version ist v4.0.0-build-145 2016/06/26 00:52". Update "over the air" scheint nicht zu funktionieren. Sehe ich richtig, dass das nicht funktioniert und ich quasi das aktuelle Image von Recalbox komplett neu aufspielen muss?
Falls eine Neuinstallation notwendig ist:
Wie welche essenziellen Daten sollte ich sichern?
Oder anders gefragt: Wie installiere ich neu, ohne alles neu konfigurieren und aufspielen zu müssen?
