Make your default.cfg file read only and see if it still changes.

i was playing with the default.cfg file and found the for some reason if its joycode 16 or under it subtracts one. so if it is 15 in the cfg it will be 14 in mame and for some reason it doesn't do the same with 17?

That is because mame starts numbering buttons at 0 instead of 1

Is this a new problem or is this a first time configuration type issue?  If it is a new problem, what did you change recently?

delete all of MAME files, except roms of course, and reinstall it with a fresh copy.  Go into MAME and hit Tab and reprogram your inputs with your CP.  Escape out of MAME and go back into it and see if it changed again..
