Im trying to use a snes gamepads PCB as a hardwired controller into the Raspi Zero's GPIO pins.
so far i have each button wired to a useable pin and a shared ground wired to the ground.
i have retropie installed and running rom's which work fine with a keyboard inserted.
from what I've read i need a driver to make the GPIO pins register the button presses as inputs for emulation station to read as up down A B Ect.
i have tried retrogame with no luck.. i followed the instructions as best i could and think i did everything to the letter but no luck, none of the buttons wired to the GPIO do anything.
i have just found another driver called mk arcade joystick
but i just dot understand the instructions... at all
can anyone give me an idiots guide to this working?
or link me to a retropie download with it already all installed?
please help me!

Gpioneer is the business. Quick tip: Run a keyboard through the OTG and run it from there. I couldn't get it to register keypresses while running it from SSH.
