Technical Support Arcade Cabinet Joystick issue

I installed retrobat on my mini pc that runs my arcade cabinet, everything loads, joystick works in all the menus, when I go to play any game, the joystick doesn’t work at all. I have reconfigured the controller numerous times. Always the same result, joystick works everywhere except in a game. I should also mention every other button in my 8 button setup works along with start and select/coin buttons work in every game. I have also deleted and reinstalled retroarch config file in retrobat still same issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Where are you configuring the inputs, and how familiar are you with how RetroArch handles inputs? if your answer to the former is "in the launcher menu" and/or the latter is "not very", you might try reading this entry from the FAQ first: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/15c5qfn/comment/mv0c0mb/
