Controller .cfg files

That file does not exist in that directory. So either its deleted, wasn't created or resides somewhere else.

default.cfg is created every time you use lr-mame2003. which directory are you looking in? remember due to your sub-folder situation it may be in the subfolder. it should be in /mame2003/ wherever your roms are launched from. for example, it may be in
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame-libretro/mame2003/
or possibly
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/

i would just resolve the subfolder thing in the first instance and make sure you have a /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/ folder created after game launch

I mapped in Retroarch twice - once through ES and the other time through hotkey to bring up the RGUI menu. Both times the buttons were mapped correctly (as I had intended)..

i suspect this has created an Input Mess (c). can you please provide /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg, as well as the joypad config requested in your other thread https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/249704

Fortunately, I cleaned up the file/directory structure yesterday.

However, I still cannot locate default.cfg.

I have literally check ever folder and sub folder....I'll keep looking as its possible I've overlooked it....

I cannot pull the retroarch.cfg file onto my desktop either. Directory doesn't display. I tried using Cp, but it says I don't have permission.

@peetem All the files in the config folder should be owned and accessible by the installation user (pi on a Pi system). They're also available at \\retropie\configs via file shares.
Check the permissions on that folder by running

ls -ld /opt/retropie/configs

and post the output.
