Plz Help! Having trouble accessing anything on the RetroPie menu!

Plz help!
I just installed wifi and a driver script to enable my x arcade tankstick to work on the emulators.
But after rebooting the x arcade wouldn’t work and after plugging in my keyboard, I can move left and right but can’t access the configuration menu or anything when pressing enter.
Here’s a video showing more

Did Enter ever work before? You'll need to use whatever key is mapped as the "A" button. Try X (the letter X on your keyboard), or boot with no controller/keyboard attached, then plug it back in and reconfigure when prompted.

@sleve_mcdichael Enter was working before I went into the driver settings to install the x-arcade script. I've tried hitting other buttons on the keyboard but they all only movie left or right. Does not access anything else :/

@thewillrussell Are you absolutely sure you've mapped your buttons/keys right? It's a common issue, trust me...

[thewillrussell]

@PiBoyyy How do I start over? I tried by holding a single key on the keyboard for over 5 seconds, same on the usb controller. I don't know where to start

Try to reset the controllers.

While you are in emulationstation press the F4 to jump to the terminal window, and type :

sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

Then choose :

Manage packages => Manage core packages => emulaionstation => Configurations / Options => clear/Reset emulationstation input configuration

After that, restart the system and it will ask you to configure again your controllers.
