#HOW TO SET UP RETROPIE ON RASPBERRY PI 3 WITH 2 JOYSTICKS SERIAL#

Our I2S audio amplifier board needs GPIO pins 18, 19 and 21.

If using one of our PiTFT displays (as most of our portable gaming projects do), another seven GPIO pins are out of commission: GPIO7-GPIO11 and GPIO24-25.

GPIO14 and GPIO15 are off-limits if using the TTL serial port (for example, with a serial console cable, or thermal printer).

GPIO2 and GPIO3 are off-limits if using any I2C peripherals (for example, most real-time clock boards).

Yellow pins may or may not be available for controls, depending what hardware features are enabled on the system:.All of the green pins are fair game for connecting buttons.We have a nice assortment of arcade-style controls in the shop… Scrap plywood or a metal project box are viable materials (a cigar box works great too!), while a drill, hole saw, Dremel tool or wood rasp are all reasonable tools for making holes. I’m fortunate to have access to a laser cutter that can work with acrylic, but that’s a tall order for most. You’ll also need to build your control panel using the materials and tools best suited to your own skills. For everything else, you can still use a keyboard. Instead, pick a few favorites and devise a layout that handles the most frequently-used inputs well. There’s no One Right Way™ to arrange controls that can cover every game. This is where things take a creative turn. Making your own control box (or even a whole cabinet) is a satisfying DIY project! If the ready-mades meet your needs, fantastic. But maybe you want something simpler, or may have ergonomic preferences (I’ve always prefered right-handed joysticking, for example). They’re often a bit costly though…also, nearly all of them are laid out for 1990s fighting games. Just as there are USB console-style controllers, so too are there USB arcade-style setups. Let’s look at arcade-style controls first, since they’re physically larger and thus easier to work with…
