For some reason, I’m struggling to get game controllers to work in Attract Mode that work in Retropie 4.1.

I built an arcade for my son and used (2) Easy get controllers and joystick / buttons.  Everything works fine in Retropie.  Last night I used a new RPi and 32gb SD chip with Attract Mode loaded.  I went thru the setup of the controller when I started the system (everything went as normal).  However, when I then launched Attract Mode, the buttons would not work.  The Joystick seemed OK (scrolling thru Attract Mode), but when I opened a game, I could not get “start”, “select”, “A”, “B” or any of the buttons to work.
I then went back to the old SD card & everything works fine in Retropie (no Attract Mode software loaded).

Has anyone else seen this?

Thank you, I do appreciate the help, I have plugged in the new controller & keyboard.  I can manuever to get into Tab > Configure > Controls.  But from there I'm stuck.  Nothing happens when I attempt to alter any of the commands.  As an example - if I move the selector to "Back (Exit (Confirm))" and I press a button on the controller, nothing happens.

Is there a step I'm missing?  I also scrolled down to "Next Display" and attempted to use a key on the keyboard, but again, nothing happens......... Is there an edit mode I'm missing?

Thanks again.

Thanks for responding with help. 

If I choose #1, do I need to exit Attract Mode and get back to Emulation Station > Retropie & configure from there?

#2 & #3 are beyond my capabilities.   I was thinking I could always start from scratch and re format the SD card (but after moving all the roms over etc, I was hoping for an easier answer). 

Again, thanks for the help.

I have setup Attract Mode to use a Nintendo wired controller & would like to use a different wired controller, but I'm not sure how to do it.  I attempted to reboot with the new controller plugged in, but nothing happened (I had thought perhaps it would recognize a new controller and I could configure it?) and I had to switch back to the old controller to move around.

Any help?  Thanks in advance (I did search for old topics, but could not find an answer).
