@dch It seems you're using an older RetroPie version and from what I see in the Docs, UAE4ALL doesn't seems to properly support joysticks.
Try to update to a more recent RetroPie version and use Amiberry. If your gamepad works in other games/systems, Amiberry should be able to read the configuration created by RetroPie and use your gamepad.
