You don't have to delete your old keyboard settings. If you used gpio13 for the speaker then the x button for this guide wont work. You can edit the file /boot/retrogame.cfg to suit your needs. if you said it rebooted once then probably it copied all the files needed but maybe just a file permission...

Re: PCSX-Rearmed: A great emulator for Pi-Zero but will it work with a Gameboy Zero?
