Emulator is working

I was finally able to get the emulator to work by re-loading the raspbian operating system on to my SD card, and following the steps from this guide on the retro pie website. Using the original guide, I was able to get a ROM for the game "Donkey Kong Country" to work on the emulator. The USB controller worked in the emulator program, however i was not able to make it work in the actual game. I will continue to work on getting the controller to function properly.
