                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

                                  us the rm command :)

                                    Same here. Running Rasbian Jessie and having all packages up-to-date both Jessie and Retropie updated. I have the output of lsusb:

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

                                    input_l2_btn = "6"

                                    And I have no idea how to move forward now...
