How to swap pads/ pad issues

[wrusst]

I have an issue on retro on my PI 3

I have 2 snes controllers, however, start and select only works on the opposite controller and any game requiring you to press start on pad 1 won't work but start on pad 2 is fine. If you have only 1 pad in you can not start and select out but start works. They have been configured multiple times and ports swapped Im assuming when I had a ps3 pad in this was a default pad 1 .

Im not great at Linux etc as Im bit old school is there a simple guide to switching the controllers as it feels retro is mixed up on which pad should be the default, I have tried a few things but seem to make things worse.

Thanks
