And here’s the layout from the potentiometer from a review on https://www.amazon.co.uk/16x2mm-Double-Taper-Duplex-Potentiometer/dp/B00O9Y6Z70 : The pin layout (wheel down and pins facing up) far left-ground, (call it pin 1) from the far left pin 1-ground. moving right is 2-right input, 3 left input, 4-left output, 5 right output. 5=far right side pin. -

Download and install latest version of retropie on a 8 Gb (at least) micro sdcard.

4Build the controller
Controller was inspired by Adafruit Pocket PiGrrl tutorial.
I’ve connected it on a Xin-Mo encoder since mostly all ports are used by the display.
jstest-gtk is a very nice program to debug it.

6NeoGeo controls
NeoGeo controls didn’t worked so I had to edit /opt/retropie/emulators/config/fba/fba2x.cfg file and change START and SELECT mapping, see https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Neo-Geo like :
[Joystick] # Get codes from "jstest /dev/input/js0" # from package "joystick" A_1=3 B_1=1 X_1=2 Y_1=0 L_1=4 R_1=5 START_1=9 SELECT_1=8
