First time Attractmode user here and I got everything setup with MAME perfectly except I have this weird issue with my X-arcade 2-play stick and Attractmode.
If I launch MAME through Attractmode, the buttons for the players (but not the joystick or start/coin buttons) are all wrong and some do nothing. If I launch MAME on its own then all my controls are as they should be and work fine. I configured MAME through the INI to use the xarcade cfg for the controller, which as I said works perfectly fine with MAME on its own.
I tried changing a few settings dealing with the controls in MAME, but I can't figure out why this is happening. So I thought I'd ask the forum to see if anyone else has had this problem or perhaps knows how to fix it.

Try parameter:

Try parameter:
-readconfig
I know in my mame.ini I have readconfig set to 1 if that's what you mean. Are you referring to that or perhaps a setting in Attractmode?

Alright, I figured out what's going on and it's silly.
I've used my Xarcade stick before but I didn't load the xarcade cfg like I have now. Initially, It worked perfectly fine in a few games I tested and then I tried a Metal Slug game. That's when the controls changed and I would only test any changes with Metal Slug thinking it should control for the same game when testing.
Well, after looking in the xarcade.cfg I see it changes the controls for Neogeo games. So that's it, nothing is actually wrong its just that I didn't know it changed the default layout for Neogeo games.

Gotta love that mame controller file I can set up five games and have an entire set working just like i need it too! :)
..But I have to admit it took me some time to understand how it worked!
