Yeah I'm starting to think its the rubber membrane may have moved, also no noise is coming from the X,Y,R1, like the others do, I tried getting into the button test via L1,X,Y and it's not working, the funny thing is the button presses feel ok..... I may go for the teardown, I've watched videos so I know what mistakes not to make lol, thanks for your reply... any progress let you know
P.S Do you think I could use a different membrane to the one that comes with it, quality don't look great?
I doubt the membrane rubber is damaged.
Possibly the pad on the board or the conductive material is damaged or they are just misaligned.
Is it easily possible to change it to something custom? Definitely.
Do I think there is an off-the-shelf perfectly sized replacement? No.
It doesn't seem that the evercade button membrane has the same measurements as any other common/standard button set. That doesn't mean you can't take an xbox or snes membrane and hack it into 4 pieces and make it work.
Here is an image of what you're working with:

Does anyone know if there is a way to sort roms so that they are not displayed in the order they were added to the SD card?
If you're OK with alphabetical sorting by rom name, just google "Fat Sorter" along with mac/linux/windows and grab whatever utility you want. Point it to the "game" folder and let'er rip.
If you want them sorted by a different means you have two options:
1) copy your game folder elsewhere and delete it entirely from your SD card. Recreate the folder and copy you files back into it ONE AT A TIME in the order you want them to appear.
2) rename your game files with a renaming tool or manually to have numbers in front of the names like tracks on a music album and then use a fat sorter utility so that "alphabetically" will actually be the custom order you numbered them for. This method requires you rename related files to each game accordingly as well so it's not really easier than option 1.

EDIT::Seems it's a hardware issue downgraded to 1.2.0 still the same managed to get into button test mode with some force lol and the A,X,Y,R1 don't register, teardown it is lol
throwing out ideas in case you are new to this - no offense intended if you are an experienced tinkerer...
Disassemble and then boot up evercade into button test mode if you can. Try pressing buttons with just the membrane and your finger. If it still works poorly then grab a paperclip, flat head screwdriver or something else conductive (aluminum foil) and use it to gently push/touch directly on the pcb without the membrane where the buttons would register an input. If that works way better than what you are typically experiencing, then turn the evercade off and try cleaning the dark conductive pads on the button membrane and the copper pads on the PCB with a high percentage rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. After it dries, use the button membrane and your finger to test while still disassembled.
