      Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 4
      Power Supply used: 5v power adapter
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.6.1
      Built From: [64gb]-CRT.Blast.Arcade.RPi4.ES.AM.Dual.Monitor-DynamicDuo image
      USB Devices connected: xin-mo.com Xinmotek Controller, USB Hub
      Controller used: sanwa joystick and buttons
      Error messages received: none
      Verbose log (if relevant): none
      Guide used: none
      Emulator: emulation station*
      Attachment of config files:
      configs-all-retroarch-autoconfig

      input_device = "xin-mo.com Xinmotek Controller"
      input_driver = "udev"
      input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"
      input_l_btn = "2"
      input_load_state_btn = "2"
      input_up_axis = "-1"

      input_a_btn = "4"
      

      How to replicate the problem:
      I am pretty new here, and I tried my best to provide the necessary information, so please bear with me. I built an arcade cabinet and have everything working, except when I launch a game, the joysticks do not work. They work fine in the menus, and all the buttons registered when I did the initial controls config at the beginning, just not in the game. From what I can tell, all the buttons on both player 1 and player 2 work, just not the joysticks.
      I have tried clearing my configs, and reflashing the drive to start from scratch, but nothing seems to work.
      Please let me know if there is any other information I need to provide.
