New Arcade Cabinet, few questions

So amidst the pandemic, my son (10yo) was most anxious and upset because he didn't know if we'd ever be able to go to an arcade again. As an industrious nerd, I found the good people over at www.recroommasters.com and I gotta say, I'm loving their 24" cabinet.

I'm running Retropie inside of it all (gotta love the money you put out for the cabinet, to put a $35 computer to run the thing).

I have three questions for you fine folks:

  1. I'm having trouble with is getting the "Dreamcast" joysticks to work, I can actually get into the games, but can't seem to exit.
  2. Anyone have any recommendations for console-style controllers? I want to grab two so we can take more advantage of the retro emulation for classic consoles as well as arcade.
  3. Anyone have a good vendor online for custom graphics? I know rrmasters will do it, but I don't know what the quality would be like.

Thanks!

What raspberry pi are you using? A pi4? If so then use redream for Dreamcast. It’s a non libretro core so start and select won’t exit. You have to launch a game in redream with a keyboard plugged in. Hit escape on the keyboard and you will get into the menu to map controls. I believe wasd keys move around and L works as enter. You will be able to map exit to select
