Hello,  
I try to use this version of Picade (

 ![04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/pimoroni/original/2X/d/d1bbbf04a253bf6cc6511ba3833dc0095f6d7e85.jpeg)  
Where can I download the corresponding driver for RetroPie?  
I can use the joystick to navigate in the RetroPie interface but no way to use the joystick in any game for C64 :(  
Thx,  
Renaud

Go here,

> **[Pimoroni Ltd](https://github.com/pimoroni)**

> We are a company of Makers and educators based in Sheffield, UK. - Pimoroni Ltd

  
And then “I think” here,  

> **[pimoroni/picade-hat](https://github.com/pimoroni/picade-hat)**
>
> Picade HAT input daemon and setup script. Contribute to pimoroni/picade-hat development by creating an account on GitHub.

  
Its where I ended up when I typed Picade in the “find a repository” box.

That’s the picade PCB not the HAT. DON’T try and install the HAT software!

when plugged in via USB it should be recognised as a HID/keyboard and switch presses/joystick movements should type characters in the console. The config doesn’t need a driver merely the correct config; from the Retropie home screen you need to find the controller setup menu and assign keys there. The Retropie wiki will be your friend.

Ah, or I guess ops. I just assumed there was a header on the bottom. A Picade Hat, Picade Hat X etc deal. My bad. But to be honest, not being able to find the product pages for the older stuff makes it tough. Especially if you don’t own said item.

I agree wholeheartedly! There are a lot of the PCB kits out there with worldwide resellers, and not much in the way of directions left.
