Hi all,
I have a problem with my snes raspberry pi system, made with prerunnerseth's board: http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2659 it uses GPIO input
I have to change options for a certain rom, to use another emulator for example, but with the controller I can't navigate this menu:
And basically I'm stuck here, I can only open the controller, attach the keyboard to the USB port via the dongle micro USB-to-USB and exit the menu.. Is there a way to configure keys for this option menu so I can use the controller buttons to perform ok and cancel operations? The dpad actually works to scroll up or down
Thank you very much

there are some controllers that let you do this, i've only found that xbox 360 controllers give you the most usability (which is no use to you)
the keyboard is the only way....
you may be able to ssh into it, but this seem more long winded then plugging in a keyboard

A more creative solution like 2 tact switches on the back of the controller and map them with GPIO to the keyboard keys ENTER and ESC?
(is this sci-fi or is it possible?)
Alternatively, do you know if I can change this kind of things manually with configuration files? Like select another emulator for the specified rom?
thank you
Cheers!

this is posible.... its something i was thinking about doing on my for my GBZ build, especially as i would have liked to have played arcade games with require the esc to exit the games)
if your controls are via gpio then adding an extra but shouldnt be an issue.....
for the controller pcb or aio, i looked at this option (it could be out of date now)
but if your not going to need it setup menu access all the time, is it really work doing all the work

I believe you just need to edit the retrogame.c file and add the keyboard keys and pi BCM number of your GPIO buttons to the array. Rest should be the same if you follow the guide. You can probably also just edit "KEY_E" to "KEY_ENTER" and "KEY_S" to "KEY_ESC" to change what you need also. You'll have to test it.

I'll wait to see the inside of the case from the pictures of the other user who put the shutdown tact button and I'll do both things together
Thank you very much!
