This line can not have extra spaces.  Try this.
options mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=4 gpio=4,17,27,22,10,9,25,24,23,18,15,14,2,19,26,-1,-1 hkmode=2

Also, show us the output from this command when logged into the machine.
dmesg |grep mk_arcade

Are you using a Freeplay CM3 as your bartop?

First of all thank you very much for answering, I am using the original version of RECALBOX 6.1.1 DRANGONZBLAZE in my RPI3 +, just replace the original mk_arcade_joystick.ko file with that of your cm3 version, also add the file in etc / modprobe, and set gpio map = 4 in recalbox.conf.

I would just like to add to the gpio 19,26 pins the L2 and R2 buttons

Later when I get back from work, I'm going to show the log and try that option setting with hkmode = 2a, hopefully it works a long time ago that I have those dead side buttons on my bartop since recalbox is very closed for modifications.

Thanks for your time!!!

Tiny typo on Flavor reply about config file, it is not "hkmode=2a" but "hkmode=2".

Edit: Type from me too :/

I think following config should work :

Code:

options mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=4 gpio=4,17,27,22,10,9,25,24,23,18,15,14,2,19,26,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1 hkmode=2

The mk_arcade_joystick_rpi  driver used on Freeplaytech platform is a improved version of the original and require additional gpio buttons declared (even if it is set to -1).

Important note: Avoid space before and after "=" and ","

Good catch.  Yes, you need to have the exact right number of integers in the gpio list.  -1 signifies that the input is unused.

Not sure problem come from the module itself.

Can you attach your config file please (raw from ssh, without additional edit).
I don't have my device on hand but maybe we could catch the problem with this. It is possible that there is a escape character or a encoding problem somewhere.
