#### Button mapping for Picade

The standard setup for Picade is RetroPie.
So, if you follow the setup for RetroPie on your Picade, you will be able to launch the makecode games.
To also play them, you still have to fix the button mapping:

copy the following content to your `/sd/arcade.cfg`

```
SCAN_CODES=/dev/input/event0
BTN_LEFT=105
BTN_RIGHT=106
BTN_UP=103
BTN_DOWN=108
BTN_A=29
BTN_B=56
BTN_RESET=28
BTN_EXIT=1
BTN_MENU=23
```

This should work fine as long as no other keyboard is attached to the system.
If an additional keyboard is attached, `/dev/input/event0/` might change to another `/dev/input/eventX`.

To activate this config, we have to tell the launcher not to use the uiinput-mapper and fall back to this config instead.
Open `/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg` and replace the line

```
<command>/home/pi/McAirpos/McAirpos/launCharc/launCharc %ROM%</command>
```

with

```
<command>/home/pi/McAirpos/McAirpos/launCharc/launCharc nomap %ROM%</command>
```

You are now able to run and play makecode games with McAirpos on your Retropie.

Hint: for some reasons, the first keyboard event will not be processed.
