          Is for mame roms! not NES. I'm guessing that you didn't mean to write that? There are 3 NES emulators, which one?

          Pi power adapter with 2 amp

          You need 2.5A to reliably run a Pi3 with controllers and peripherals .

          File: You are in breach of the forum rules

          Attachment of config files: n/a

          Why? people need to see your configs to spot mistakes

              @pieinthesky ok, and your autoconfig from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads?

                @pieinthesky and it would be helpful to see /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg. I am assuming that you followed this guide first with your controller plugged in?

                  @rbaker Thanks. It's 2.5 amp. Power is definitely not the problem.

                    @rbaker Sorry, I'm not very good with Linux commands. Can't quite figure out how to download a file from putty. But, I managed to CAT it. I found Xbox360WirelessReceiver(XBOX).cfg' in the retroarch-joypads directory

                    input_device = "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver (XBOX)"
input_driver = "udev"
input_r_y_plus_axis = "+3"
input_l3_btn = "11"
input_r_x_minus_axis = "-2"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_load_state_btn = "4"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"
input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_up_btn = "15"
input_r_y_minus_axis = "-3"
input_a_btn = "0"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_down_btn = "16"
input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_save_state_btn = "5"
input_r2_btn = "7"
input_r3_btn = "12"
input_right_btn = "14"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "14"
input_x_btn = "2"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "2"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_y_btn = "3"
input_left_btn = "13"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "13"
input_r_x_plus_axis = "+2"
input_l2_btn = "6"

                      @rbaker This what is in retroarch.cfg

                      # Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/nes/"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

                        @pieinthesky put small logs in code blocks - see http://commonmark.org/help/ - and put large logs on a pastebin type site like http://paste.ubuntu.com/ http://pastebin.com/ or similar as advised in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Now can you post fully the contents of /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfgor just the control section of it. This file will control retroarch based emulations preceding with the lr prefix. Take a look at the typical default config. You should be seeing lines like

                        input_player1_joypad_index = 0
input_player1_b_btn = 2
input_player1_a_btn = 1
input_player1_y_btn = 3
input_player1_x_btn = 0
input_player1_l_btn = 4
input_player1_r_btn = 5
input_player1_start_btn = 9
input_player1_select_btn = 8
input_player2_joypad_index = 1
input_player2_b_btn = 2
input_player2_a_btn = 1
input_player2_y_btn = 3
input_player2_x_btn = 0
input_player2_l_btn = 4
input_player2_r_btn = 5
input_player2_start_btn = 9
input_player2_select_btn = 8

                        But the values will be determined by what your controller gives.

                          @pieinthesky Just a thought...what happens if you unplug your keyboard?
