MacroPowerYou are right that you can remap the buttons in emulatation Station but I have found that the controls aren't properly aligned with the software when you enter "command line" mode in retropie. The software responds to the inputs as they are hardwired on the board. In other words, if you attach the wire that triggers the "down" switch on the joystick to the "up" pin on the controller board, the program will interpret "down" as "up." I hope this wasn't confusing.

I_love_stuffYa on the ES menu the button I made "A" on top is select/enter, "B" button is back, but on the text menus the B button is select/enter. In the games the small button facing you on the front panel is select (which is actually plugged into select port on the usb board), pretty weird setup. Also annoying in ES menus you can hold joystick up/down and it keeps going but in the text menus if you want to move down to menu option 6 if you have to tap joystick 6 times. I'm amazed this stuff has been around for years and is still so unpolished and unfriendly. This is my first experience with a pi and retropie, though I've been using linux since the early 90s (before 1.0). Also annoying how there's a mix of text and gui menus and configuration screens all over the place.

Also somehow I managed to get the orientation of one of the panels wrong, I think. It looks all good but there's one hole that the opposing hole isn't aligned with. Guess I'll just leave that be...
