Happy to announce that the popular Picade DIY arcade controller today was confirmed working with McAirpos!: > > > thanx for this great tool! > I try to get my games up and running on a picade and… retroflag GPi case. > > So far, I go with the picade, since I get the games at least up and running.

He has also hinted that he might make a go at getting the Retroflag GPi case’s controller to work with MakeCode Arcade games on the Raspberry Pi with McAirpos, so stay tuned! Still hoping for help in a [new Github issue](https://github.com/Vegz78/McAirpos/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed) for each of these controllers: - Joy Bonnet - Retroflag GPi - PSPi (Othermod reports “_…there might not be much work needed to make it work on my setup. I’m running basically stock RetroPie with a custom controller driver, and the driver is compatible with just about everything out there…_”) Maybe also @Neslou soon will write two summaries for us of his [experiences with the GPi and the PSPi](https://forum.makecode.com/t/makecode-arcade-on-recalbox/5914/3)? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.makecode.com/t/gamepi20-joy-bonnet-picade-collaboration/9211)._
