      @ddoherty958 The name of the file is cmdline.txt, not cmd.txt.

        sorry. I just typed too fast. It is that one, cmdline

            @ddoherty958 Unfortunately the image is too small to see anything. Can you upload a better image ?

                Looks like you have copied the wrong IDs from the docs - your cmdline should look like

                dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=14a75fe9-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 sbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040
                

                Notice the Vendir and Device ID are different - you copied the ones for the Juyao Dual Arcade, not the Xin Mo that are referenced first.

                    so when it came on the joysticks work but the buttons don't. I cam't configure them again because A doesn't work. The USB keyboard doesn't work either.

                      right I removed the extra code and VOILA! Buttons are working again. Weird!

                        However if I add it in again they stop. Annoying!

                          Doctor doctor, It hurts when I do this.

                          Doctor: Well don't do that.

                          I had something similar happen once. Not saying it will work for you, but in my case I just deleted the controller config files (following one of the documents around here somewhere) and let the system start over asking to configure the controllers as if it was the first time.

                          A very "did you try turning it off and then on again" solution but it worked for me.

                              How exactly would you do that?
