Sounds like it's using the wrong controller profile. I had this issue before with retroarch picking the wrong controller profile for my 8bitdo controllers. I can't remember how I fixed it put it took me a long time and I saved my configuration because it was such a pain in the arse to fix.
There's two folders as well for controller profiles, direct input and xinput. I think I had to find an updated controller profile list on github in the end.
Retroarch isn't plug and play for me with controllers.

It's amazing how emulated pixels, an emulated bezel, and an emulated dynamic reflection on that bezel can come so close to the real thing. Obviously a dodgy phone pic compressed to high heaven on Boards doesn't do it justice, but it looks incredible in person.

Check out these bezels. 4k, scratches and reflections and it took the guy 3 or 4 years to complete.
Been testing them out for a few hours tonight and they look awesome in 4k. But, not sure my brain can accept the scratches and reflection on the actual monitor area long term. But he did a fantastic job on it. The full set is about 16GB

Here's one of his candy cab default bezels. It gives an idea as what you can expect with the reflections and some scratches.
And I stuck a game screenshot under it in Photoshop 😉

One issue with higher resolutions with some games is you can get artifacts around 2D elements that look awful and there's no way to fix them. The art looked fine at 640x480 so the dev team left it and as a result you start to get elements of adjacent 2D assets from the asset sheets (basically all the 2D art will be in one big sheet of pixel art and the game will display certain sections of it) will bleed into the asset. Only way to over come it is to drop to native resolution.
I still don't think PS2 emulation is really quite there yet once you venture off the bigger games. I've had a lot of graphical errors in medium tier games. Low budget stuff is usually ok as they use rendering techniques from similar libraries but the more impressive mid tier stuff can have issues.

Not strictly emulation related, but Launchbox related. I grew tired of browsing different storefront libraries for my PC games, and never really knowing exactly what I owned unless opening up all of the stores and manually checking. So I decided to try Launchbox's storefront management system, using the PC Platform, I imported all of my owned games (not installing them, just importing them based on my existing purchase libraries)...and it works wonderfully well. All of my games show up, with a little badge to show which store-front they originate from too. A mere right click, and it'll launch the required storefront to either install the game, and from there, it's launchable like any other game.
^^ Games from three different storefronts, all browsable and playable without fuss.
^^ As above, just open the right click menu to install any game from the relevant storefront.
^^ Better still, you can group any additional apps like expansions, mods, conversions, ports, etc all under the main game and view them from the Play Version menu....lovely and tidy.
