Hey so I really only made an account to respond to this query. The easiest way to deal with this is finding the .cfg file for the PISNES emulator. PISNES searches for a different cfg file than the built in emulator (so you need to manually edit it for each different controller) where as the included emulators reference the cfg file you set up when you mapped your controller the first time you connected.
Remember when you had to first set up your controller? You need to know what each button corresponds to
Go to the
MAIN MENU and hit
Configure Input
Notice that every time you hit a key while mapping a number appears? You'll want to make note of what number each key is
Connect to your Raspberry Pie via SFTP and find
opt/retropie/configs/snes
Notice there is a file in the directory named retroarch.cfg - that's file contains data helping built in emulators
You want to open
snes9x.cfg (this is what PISNES uses) with a text editor

- These are the original values! Values corresponding to keys will change depending on what controller you are using
Change each value to the appropriate value of the corresponding key you want (the info from step 1)
