Freeplaytech Forum

okay so I figured it out I STFP the root file and deleted the old /home/pi/Freeplay/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi/mk_arcade_joystick.conf.bak

then I

cd /home/pi/Freeplay
git clone https://github.com/TheFlav/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi.git
cd /home/pi/Freeplay/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi
./install.sh
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/mk_arcade_joystick.conf

followed by

sudo shutdown -h now

restarted the freeplay and configured my Gpio controller

all of my buttons work except the my Right analog stick left input, I checked it seem that my R2 trigger button is connected to the right analog stick left input

I'm sorry. I have now edited that command. It should have shown "sudo" in front of the command, so that it would 'do' the commend with super-user (aka 'su') permissions. = 'sudo'

I don't know if I quite understand what you mean. It sounds like you mean that the left analog stick is fully working and the up/down on the right stick is working. The left/right isn't working? I would assume that may be a wiring problem. I don't really know what the R2 part of it means.

Sorry for not getting back I was working a ton. So I figured out that the issue was the psp 1000 analog joysticks which I'm having them replaced once my new ones arrive.

however, I reset my GPIO controller by accident when I was trying to swap A/B Buttons in ES
retropie setup
configuration/tools
812 emulation station frontend used by RetroPie
clear/Rest emulation station input configuration

and now my GPIO control setup won't save meaning every time i boot up I have to reconfigure my controller how do I fix this issue.
