        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

                                do you have ftp access the forum took the spaces away but do me a favor

                                type ls /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg

                                if there is files in there do a
                                rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg/*

                                if they arent there they must be in the mame 2003 with spaces

                                          @saint_jimmy no problems mate it was an easy mistake ive done it myself sometimes you accidently go into mame and change the buttons by pressing the 8th button. #

                                          if this happens again

                                            I have tried to manual add _player2 to the button config so I have 2 .bak files in this dir:
