General / Player 2 Controls Not working - mapped to Player 1

« on: February 10, 2020, 08:40:13 PM »

I have an x-arcade DYI kit. I went through attract and MAME and mapped all the controls and verified them.  The problem is when I play a 2 player game player 2 is controlled by the player 1 joystick / buttons etc. This is on all MAME games.

My Player 2 button wasn’t working for my first week and only discovered this now. Wondering if I am missing a config setting somewhere.

General / Underscan

« on: February 10, 2020, 08:29:57 PM »

I have Ubuntu 18 and a 4:5 Dell VGA monitor.  I have one of those plastic bezels over the monitor which cuts off a few pixels.

It seems I can’t set an underscan on the monitor or OS.

Is there an attract / mame setting for this?

General / Assigning the Config / Escape key to a button

« on: February 06, 2020, 12:26:19 PM »

I seem to be missing something here.  I have a cheap windows PC with Ubuntu installed with Attaract / MAME.  I built a cabinet and used the x-arcade DYI controls kit.  Gameplay is fine.  On the keyboard TAB opens the config menu and ESC exits the game.

I configured two of my buttons for these keys so that when in normal operation (no key board) I can exit the game from my console.  The problem is that doesn't work.  I have to use the keyboard.  When I configure Attract the button down events trigger in the configuration menu so I know the buttons work.

Am I missing an Attract / MAME specific issue here?
