                  @saint_jimmy If you have a PC, just use SSH to access the PI, then type the command

                  ls /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig
                  

                  and paste here the output. If your Pi is not networked or you don't have a PC, then exit Emulationstation and type the command at the command prompt that will be shown after you quit ES.

                            do this

                            sudo pico /boot/cmdline.txt

                            add this to the end (make sure you make a space from the last letter)

                            usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x40

                            press ctrl+x to save and exit

                            you will need to reboot as well

                            sudo shutdown -r now

                              To be honest just search up meleu's RetroPie-joystick-selection https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/blob/master/README.md
                              It is really straightforward and easy to use.

                                i have the same zero day controller that parameter needs to go to the kernel to stop strange things happening when using two of them no more setup is really needed beyond that,

                                            ah ok if all is well in emulation station youll be fine its a mame issue

                                            i think you might have accidently remapped some buttons seeing your menu is going on when your in mame from the other post did you delete the cfg files to reset mame to defaults ?
