      Pi Model: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
      Power Supply used: Official Raspberry Pi 3 Universal Power Supply From ThePiHut(+5.1V 2.5A)
      RetroPie Version: 4.1 (29aa90c)
      Built From: Premade RetroPie BerryBoot img (retropie-4.1-rpi2_rpi3-berryboot.img256)
      USB Devices connected: Logitech Desktop MK120
      Controller used: 8Bitdo NES30 Pro
      Guide used: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/game-boy-advance & https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-an-8bitdo-Bluetooth-controller & https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/retroarch-configuration
      Emulator: Ir-mgba(Game Boy Advance)

      My 8Bitdo NES30 Pro controller won't work properly when trying to play Game Boy Advance games, but does work with other systems. If I try to play a game like Ninja Five-O none of the controls work but if I try something like Pokemon Sapphire or Super Mario Advance 4 the start button will let me skip the opening cutscene but will stop working once I reach "Press Start." I can however press Enter on the keyboard if it's Pokemon Sapphire and use up and down on the D-Pad but I can go no further. If I switch the controller into X-Mode using Power+R1 the controller does work but the L2 & R2 buttons are disabled.

        Turns out the auto controller bindings made by EmulationStation where incorrect in RetroArch, I just had to go into the RetroArch Settings and rebind them. No Help Needed Here.
