emulationstation setup - no controllers detected #11

Hello, i'm building a raspberry handheld and want to use buttons conneced to gpio pins as input in retropie. I succesfully added them in the gpionext config and they work when i type gpionext test 1. But i cannot get them to setup in retropie. The emulationstation setupscreen only shows "No gamepads connected." and holding or pressing buttons does no difference. If i connect a usb keyboard, the usb keyboard works, but the gpio buttons are still not recognised.

How can i get the virtual joystick to work in retropie?

just type:

gpionext reload

and that should get it working.
