Success. Thanks a lot for your help jbaker and petrockblog. I reviewed https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/67 and solved it if anybody else has the same controller (http://www.amazon.com/Classic-USB-NES-Controller-PC/dp/B002YVD3KM) or similar problem:

Go ahead and run the Emulationstation wizard with keyboard while the usb controller is plugged in. It will capture the keyboard keys in es_input.cfg but it will give you your usb device name for the joypad just before </inputlist> tag. Then use the the sample below and correct your es_input.cfg which is under .emulationstation folder under home folder.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<inputList>
<inputConfig type="joystick" deviceName="USB Gamepad ">
<input name="a" type="button" id="1" value="1"/>
<input name="b" type="button" id="0" value="1"/>
<input name="down" type="axis" id="1" value="1"/>
<input name="left" type="axis" id="0" value="-1"/>
<input name="menu" type="button" id="3" value="1"/>
<input name="right" type="axis" id="0" value="1"/>
<input name="select" type="button" id="2" value="1"/>
<input name="up" type="axis" id="1" value="-1"/>
</inputConfig>
</inputList>

Thanks a lot jbaker and petrockblog. I haven’t came across that post in emulationstation. Let me try that and post the results here.

Thanks a lot for help jbaker1225. I can use the controler on retroarch. But with Emulationstation you cannot map a dummy button. When you run out of buttons and hit the same one again. It says that button is already mapped.

First of all thanks a lot for all your hard work. Everything went smooth with image installation. My only problem is when I plug my NES USB controller http://www.amazon.com/Classic-USB-NES-Controller-PC/dp/B002YVD3KM during the initial setup screen for controller in Emulationstation and follow the directions on screen everything is OK until I come to PgUp PgDown section. The controller has the directionpad and 4 extra buttons Start select A and B. So when I am at PgUP I run out of buttons. With the keyboard it is OK but I do not know what to do with my controller. I have been looking around on the web for a hint but no luck . I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
