      @mitu do you mean this by resetting Retropie Setup Script >> Manage Packages >> Manage Core Packages >> EmulationStation >> Configuration / Options >> Clear / Reset EmulationStation Input Configuration

          Now this is happening that the joysticks are found but despite i am pressing the buttons the label stays grey and it does not let me configure the input. It does not forward me to the configuration screen but it realises that i am pressing the button:(
          update: i can only configure the usb keyboard. its label is black and it forwards me to the configuration...God i am so f...ked

            @zhajdu Can you try with just 1 controller/joypad connected to see if you get past the configuration screen ? How did you configure it before ?

              @mitu Thanks for keeping the spirit in me! So what i did now is i switched memory card in the PI and on the other PI i have a previously set up image and in that retropie i can configure the inputs. Maybe on the other one somehow the input cfgs got corrupted? but in that case as you advised resetting the cfgs should have solved this.

                @mitu Its done, you were right. i configured one of the dragonrise joysticks then restarted the system and know both dragonrise joysticks are working. (its very strange) anyway this does not solve my problem i think

                  Which problem is that ? You said the controllers are working now.

                    @mitu Hi There! Now the current status is that the controllers might be working although i have not tryed this page yet https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/blob/master/README.md
                    BUT now my layout is set and i cannot insert coin in the MAM4ALL emulator games for example cadillacs and dinasours. which button should drop in the coin? when 1 month ago it was working it was the select button

                    what cfg files should i copy paste here so you could review?

                      @zhajdu AFAIK key bindings in Mame4ALL are set from the emulator by hitting TAB (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/#mame4all-pi), do that to change the settings. Also, the config file is not readable (i.e not text), so there's no text file you could paste here. Grab a keyboard, press TAB while in-game and configure your settings there.

                                Get a better PI ? For Pi1/0 models, pifba might be more appropriate for your hardware. What game are you playing ?

                                    @zhajdu Overclocking did not solve anything. the sound is the same, lagging

                                      I'd say that's about right, the game was also lagging on the original hardware. The FB Alpha core has an overclock hack - look in the core options and see if overclocking from the core settings helps.

                                        @mitu Hello There again mitu! Everything is fixed as you mentioned and based on your guideance we had many lovely gaming hours. Now what happens is that I bought Play station usb controllers to replace the classic SNES controllers. The problem with this is that it turned out that the retropie recognises it as Dragonrise joystick:(. So this means that the arcade joysticks and the newly bought play station controllers stick together because they have the same name:( Do you know what to do?

                                          @zhajdu I don't think it's possible to differentiate between them unless they have different Vendor/Model IDs. You can find out by executing from the command line

                                          sudo lsusb
                                          

                                          and looking at the identifiers for each device. If they're the same, then RetroArch and possibly other emulators cannot tell them apart.
