[Ps2 game goes to memory card screen.]

I was using pcsx2 to play ps2 games, but tge controller doesn't work.  I switch to launch box and the ps2 games that work on pcsx2 are now going straight to memory card screen.  I can go to main screen or pick a spot on memory card slot one or 2.  It seems to be stuck.  My easy smx controller work for other games on launch box.  Anyone had this problem?

[Navigating and selecting games]

I had a problem with my easy smx controller. After hours of trying to fix, it finally works without fast forwarding the game, but now it's stuck on game cube console screen where I pick games.  It still plays those games. I can't access the other menu with all my consoles. Anyone know what I can do? I tried re downloading other roms.  They're still there.
