I am very close to completing my MAME cab and have found a very annoying bug that I am sure can be overcome.
Using Keyhook (Thanks!) I have created a controller with Happ joysticks and a KB matrix. While in Keyhook everything is fine. Joystick 1 is wired to use the direction keys, Keyhook proves this is working!
When I go into Mame32, mame thinks the joystick is assigned differently. By this I mean, Mame32 has assigned the direction keys to player 1 up, down etc etc by default. The joystick will not work, If I go into "Input (General)" and assign 'Joystick1 UP to Player1 up, mame sees it as 'Pad8', Down as 'Pad2' etc etc.
When these are assigned, everything works fine until I restart the PC or mame, I then have to do it all again.
Please help me somebody, I have spent alot of time on this project, the cabinet is looking really good, and apart from this problem I am really happy.
It'll seem a waste to take a chainsaw to it in anger!!!!
