      sure, here is boot/config.txt

      # For more options and information see
# http://rpf.io/configtxt
# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details
 
# uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
#hdmi_safe=1
 
# uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
# and your display can output without overscan
#disable_overscan=1
 
# uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
# goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
 
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720
 
# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
 
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1
 
# uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes
#hdmi_drive=2
 
# uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
# no display
#config_hdmi_boost=4
 
# uncomment for composite PAL
#sdtv_mode=2
 
#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800
 
# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
#dtparam=i2c_arm=on

        Try to 're-map' the picade buttons so no Esc/Alt and just regular keys are used. See this forum post for how to do that, modifying the same config.txt file (take a backup of the file before modifying it).

          @mitu let me see if I understood you correctly:
          I added it like this at the end of the file

          [pi4]
# Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2

[all]
#dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
overscan_scale=1

dtoverlay=picade
dtparam=button1=31
dtparam=button2=32
dtparam=button3=33
dtparam=button4=36
dtparam=button5=37
dtparam=button6=38
dtparam=enter=30
dtparam=escape=48
dtparam=audio=off

          I tried it and it gave same error

          I am inclined to re-install. I simply don't get what is causing it.
          Can I just backup all my ROMS and do clean install, or will I be in for a real struggle?

            Ok.

            I am inclined to re-install. I simply don't get what is causing it.

            Don't see how that would help, but I'm not familiar with Picade's driver installation, so sure, why not ?

            Yes.

              @mitu before I do the open-heart surgery, is this a Picade issue? Or a retropie issue you think?

                @auditor neither and both - if the Picade default mapping is using Esc/Alt, this may inpact the EmulationStation input handling.
                Anyway, nobody is forcing you to do 'open-heart surgery', a simple backup of the config.txt file before you do any modifications on it is enough to get you back to your initial state. Could be also faster than re-installing from scratch.

                  @mitu I am understanding better the more I am looking at the issue. Where can the bindings be mapped other than config.txt? Because each time I push one of the 6 "fire" buttons, one of them inevatbly is Esc .
                  It seems something is overriding the settings, or hard-coded somewhere

                    I'm not familiar with the Picade's driver, as said before. How did you install it on the RetroPie system ? Does it have a script/repository where there might be some documentation ?

                      @mitu I installed it years ago - I honestly don't remember. It DID work. I put it in the cupboard and the kids found it again. And now it's sitting on my desk and every few days they look at it, poke it and say "have you fixed it yet"?

                      Is there a command I can use so I can find the answer to your question?

                        Not really.

                        If it worked before, what was changed since then - updates to the system or RetroPie ? Did it have a special image you installed or do you remember installing the picade driver ?
