Ok, so I figured everything out. First; I followed the first part of the guide at this location:

> [@RetroArch Megathread](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/retroarch-megathread/716):

> I’ll keep this thread up-to-date with RetroArch news and changes. For now, I’ll start with a guide to build an up-to-date RetroArch I assume you can SSH into your GS already. Setup First let’s setup the build environment sudo apt-get install git build-essential sudo apt-get build-dep retroarch Then let’s clone the repo git clone https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch.git retroarch Enter the directory and run the following commands cd retroarch ./configure --disable-vulkan --disable-ffmpeg…

For getting RetroArch’s keys to match up with the gamepad controls. However, I think my problem was that I had the same key command mapped for Quit RetroArch and Menu

So, for future reference for anyone else having this problem, here’s how to fix it:

1. Boot up retroarch on your gameshell
2. Navigate to Settings-\>Input-\>Input Hotkey Binds
3. Map “Menu Toggle” to whatever key(s) you want to bring up the emulator menu with
4. Map “Quit Retroarch” to whatever key(s) you want to return to the GS menu
5. Boot up mGBA under the emulators menu
6. Press whatever button you set as “Menu Toggle”
7. Go to controls and remap as desired
8. Happy gaming!
