GPIO Config "#5 (Custom)" prevents gamepad to be used as a joyport

[CemTezcan]

Setting GPIO Config as "5 (Custom)" prevents gamepad to be recognized as joyport. To reproduce the issue:

1. Connect a gamepad
2. Set GPIO Config to "5 (Custom)"
3. Set joyport 2 as "USB Gamepad 1"
4. Load a game
5. See that direction buttons and fire button doesn't work.

However, direction buttons and fire button work normal on emulator menu to navigate and select any content. Also any other keys assigned to gamepad controller works normal (like custom space button, menu key, warp function, virtual keyboard etc...)

Thanks for the update Randy, but I'm afraid problem still persists. gamepad fire key and directions work on first 4 GPIO configuration, but if I set it to custom they are disabled in games.

I just tested with a joystick tester and Custom GPIO allows gamepad to function for me now. Are you sure you updated the kernel?

If you mean the kernels at this link, then yes. https://accentual.com/bmc64/downloads/master

I checked again and confirm that on custom gpio set direction keys and fire key that assigned my gamepad doesn't work (they work on emulator menus, they don't work on emulationgame, let's say delayjoy.crt). But if I set the GPI to any other 4 setups suddenly fire and direction keys are became working.

Were you using a Pi3? I may not have updated the binary properly in my last upload. Would you be able to try again? I'm pretty sure my gamepad now works with Custom GPIO config 5 now.

Yes, I was using Pi 3A+. Now I tested your final upload and it looks perfect! Problem solved, thanks so much for this fix.
