          @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.

                                    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 ?

                                      make sure mame isint running

                                      rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/mame2003/cfg/*

                                      this is assuming your roms are in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/

                                      start mame again
