I was able to compile OpenBOR on my pi and write a .sh script that allows me to start the game engine through the Ports section on RetroPie. The trouble I'm having is I can't figure out how to get my joystick to work on the Pak selection menu in OpenBOR. Currently I have to use my keyboard to select a Pak and then press "a" to start. Once the game loads I can use my joystick and buttons to control everything within the game. I would like to be able to control the Pak selection menu with my joystick and buttons as well so I can eliminate the need for a keyboard. Does anyone know of a solution for this? Kind of a NOOB but I'm learning.

Actually, come to think of it, it might be because the joystick is not initiated directly during the menu screen. the game also gets the initial joystick controls from the menu screen as well, but as I said the engine has not initialized it directly.
To make this work, I think you need to hack over the code for the joystick and initialize it if the system it's running on is a Pi, which would take a good amount of programming because of linking and isolating code and stuff.
Unfortunately since the main devs here are busy in their own agendas, I think you're on your own on this one.
