If it was just like push this button for botton A, B etc, would be much easier of course.

Try this config:

up = joy0Button0
down = joy0Button1
left = joy0Button2
right = joy0Button3
letterUp = joy0Button12
letterDown = joy0Button13
select = joy0Button10
back = joy0Button11
quit = joy0Button8

Not all buttons are mapped as my pad is a bit dodgy, lol.

dpad used for direction
a = select/enter a menu
b = cancel/back
x = letter up
y = letter down

Used this app http://www.generalarcade.com/gamepadtool/ and then figured it out from there.

Let us know if that works for you.

EDIT:
This was done on my PC and not my Cab. Both use Win 10 Home x64.

Oh boy I really have no luck with this thing :/
So maybe I am just adding this in the wrong area.

I just copied this at the top of the config removing the original ones so it looks like this

up = joy0Button0
down = joy0Button1
left = joy0Button2
right = joy0Button3
letterUp = joy0Button12
letterDown = joy0Button13
select = joy0Button10
back = joy0Button11
quit = joy0Button8


# Define controller analogue dead zone. Default (when not configured) is 3%.

After launching Retro FE it starts doing the intro and as the SETTLE THAT OLD SCORE starts moving towards the screen, the program just closes...no error or anything.
If I leave the original config and just add what you gave me after the keyboard config, then it loads normally but my controllers won't do anything.

So please tell me I am doing something very wrong and that it is an easy fix.

I did a quick check of the joy2key app but I need to sit down and figure out how each entry will fit into the control scheme of RetroFE. If it was just like push this button for botton A, B etc, would be much easier of course.
I will be keeping an eye on the development of this app though. Just that my days are not long enough for all the things I do so I needed something that works right away to relax a little with some light gaming for myself and my wife and was not counting on having to figure out how to make controls work.

In any case, I appreciate your help guys..good to see a community behind it!

Could you control RetroFE using the keyboard before you replaced the controls.conf file?

Yes I can move around the menu with the keyboard if I use the original controls.conf
