@metalx i bought the same sanwa joystick as yours. i noticed there is no clip for the wires so that you can plug them into the picade hat. how did you overcome this? did you buy one that you can recommend?
@joeboy101 thanks - updating the /boot/config.txt to add hdmi_force_hotplug=1
made the display work. i’ve also run the curl https://get.pimoroni.com/picadehat | bash command to install the drivers for the picadehat.
now, upon booting up i get the emulation station-> UI configuration setup , but no recognition of the joystick or buttons at all. any ideas where to go from here?
Congratulations, your now stuck exactly where I’m at. I’m going to try and get the feedback gadgetoid is asking for tonight so we can try and diagnose this more. Read through the rest of this thread, but also be sure to use a fresh install of retropie. I’d even recommend using an empty card with a new install of retropie.
The ones I bought from amazon had the same clips as the original Pimori ones.

Hmm, I can’t see any indication in the above that any of the Picade software is running at all.
What does your /boot/config.txt look like?
Here’s what I got:
># For more options and information see
# http://rpf.io/configtxt
# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default “safe” mode
#hdmi_safe=1
# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display’s size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1
# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2
# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4
# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2
#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800
# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on
# Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module
#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi
# Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README
# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=256
overscan_scale=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1dtoverlay=picade
dtparam=audio=off
Got it!
Though the command lines in the config.txt view in a text editor via windows shows it all jammed together, the pasting into the forum here (thanks for asking for it) shows that there is no proper carriage return between the “hdmi_force_hotplug=1” command line and the “dtoverlay=picade” line. I modified the config.txt to have carriage returns after each command line and now it reads the joystick, buttons, and I get sound.
Waiting on my replacement power button now (the one it shipped with had leads that pushed into the button housing when I tried to assemble), but in the interim I can get everything set on my SD card and configurations setup.
Thanks for your help, Gadgetoid!!
So now, my joystick seems to be pulling left. I’m going to redo the configuration on it to see if that will help.
I’ve just built mine and am getting the same thing. How can I get the Picade controls to be recognised by RetroPie and how can I get sound working?
I have added the extra line to config.txt (in fact I needed it to get the screen to work properly - I was getting ‘no input detected’ before.
I now can’t set up the joystick and buttons as they are not recognised. I am also getting no sound. I am on RetroPie version 4.4
Help!?
I had the same problem with my picade, I take it as granted you’ve tried running the installer, read my thread ‘No Gamepads Detected’ to see if that helps especially the bit from Gadgetoid about checking if the extra instructions have been added to the config file.
After some help from Matt, the only way to get it working was to clone the git and install it on the PI. The curl wouldn’t work. I still then had to manually edit the config.txt as the lines weren’t getting added properly. I think it’s working now, but I’m battling other issues to do with my RetroPie install.
