        @mariobros_54 jstest should show you the key codes for the buttons and the axis movements while you press or move the joysticks.
        Here's an video by @Floob that shows how this works

          Thanks for your help. I had the stick plugged into the wrong port. Switched port everything works. I've started adding roms already. After I install the rom, do I delete it from my laptop and keep on usb drive? Thanks again for your help

                @mariobros_54 If you're using the USB transfer method - described in the docs - then once the ROMs appear on your PI, you can delete from the from source (USB, laptop, etc.).

                  I've uploaded my first set of games. Played them. Deleted the files from the usb, now the roms qont play. Also (2), just started, theres no rom folder on usb drive. I've reformatted usb drive and reload pie mount. That didnt do anything same thing.

                    @mariobros_54 You said you used the USB for transfer. If you'd like to run the ROMs from the USB, that's another story. The docs have both methods covered - which one did you use ?

                        @mariobros_54 can you be more precise - the USB method for transferring ROMs or for Running ROMs from an USB drive ?

                            @mariobros_54 Are the roms listed in Emulationstation ? Then it means the transfer was ok.

                              Yes, but that's the first issue

                                Then maybe the ROMs are not correct - what kind of ROMs are we talking about - can you give some examples ?

                                  Street fighter 2 series. The roms worked, before I deleted them from the usb

                                      Watched the video about transferring roms from usb. I did that. Today I deleted the roms that I uploaded to retropie. Then the roms wouldn't load, after I deleted roms from usb.

                                        Did you, by any chance, changed emulators in the Runcommand menu ? Can you try with a non-arcade ROM and see if it still works after removing the USB from the Pi ?

                                          I did change the emulator, on some, trying to get it to work. And I have only I non arcade rom that I uploaded.

                                            @mariobros_54 Arcade ROMs are not 100% compatible between arcade emulators - you need to make sure you use the right ROM for the ROMset supported by the emulator. So your problem might be the ROM is not compatible with the emulator you're trying to run - see the Arcade quick start to get you started on how arcade emulation works.
