        Is you keyboard working ? You can configure the keyboard for navigating EmulationStation by using the same procedure as if it were a gamepad - keep a key pressed until the mapping page shows up.
        What kind of NES USB controller are you using ? Any model or web page we can look up if it's compatible with Linux ? (which is what RetroPie is using underneath).

            @jshenk89 I don't think the keyboard is 'not compatible' with Linux, more likely the USB port (ports?) is not working correctly.

              Have you considered installing a bog standard Pi OS desktop and testing peripherals on that - narrow it down to whether it's a hardware fault on your Pi?
