        @gattidagoat well you’re not going to get anywhere with the arcade controller at this point. You’re going to need at least a keyboard do any fix. You might need to reimage the sd card which requires a computer. Retropie isn’t like a consumer level video game system where all it’s parts can be controlled by a controller.
