              do this

              sudo pico /boot/cmdline.txt

              add this to the end (make sure you make a space from the last letter)

              usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x40

              press ctrl+x to save and exit

              you will need to reboot as well

              sudo shutdown -r now

                To be honest just search up meleu's RetroPie-joystick-selection https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/blob/master/README.md
                It is really straightforward and easy to use.

                              ah ok if all is well in emulation station youll be fine its a mame issue

                              i think you might have accidently remapped some buttons seeing your menu is going on when your in mame from the other post did you delete the cfg files to reset mame to defaults ?

                                make sure mame isint running

                                rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/mame2003/cfg/*

                                this is assuming your roms are in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/

                                start mame again

                                      do you have ftp access the forum took the spaces away but do me a favor

                                      type ls /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg

                                      if there is files in there do a
                                      rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg/*

                                      if they arent there they must be in the mame 2003 with spaces
