    I’ve decided to go down the route of using a USB keyboard to create my arcade buttons, seems much simpler. I plan on taking apart the usb keyboard and soldering the buttons and joystick as shown in the below pic. I’ll then edit the cfg files to accommodate for the keys being pressed by the arcade buttons

    I am also interested in this topic and cant find a straight forward answer anywhere! The emulators that I use are all RetroArch and I want to use my GPIO pins on my Pi2 as controls.
    4x Joystick (up,down,left,right_
    1x A
    1x B
    1x X
    1x Y
    1X L
    1x R
    1X Start
    1x Select
    1X ESC

    I know how to find and edit the RetroArch.cfg file to change mappings for a keyboard but I was wondering if anyone knew how to map GPIO pins instead of keys?
    I’m beginning to think buying a keyboard encoder/ I-PAC is the easiest way of doing this
