thanks for help thus far can some one explain what p1 p2 etc is what buttons do i push at the moment every time i open a game i must reconfigure in input tab
DaveMMR:
Settings should save upon exit of game if you change them. If they don't save, make sure your folders aren't "read only".
And here's the link I meant last night - http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions. This has everything you will need. Here's an example:
--- Quote ---The arrow keys work, but I can't fire, jump, etc.
Here are the default controller buttons for many games:
5 - Insert Coin
1 - Start
Arrows - Move
Ctrl - Action Button 1
Alt - Action Button 2
Space - Action Button 3
Mouse - Analog Control (needed for some games)
P - Pause
ESC - Quit MAME
F2 - Service Mode
Tab - MAME Options Menu
Note: There are many games with much more complex controls. If you need to see or change a games controls, press Tab and choose "Input: This Game".

Let me move with all due alacrity to post in agreement and support of Mr. Scott's assessment. Indeed, well played, Mr. Oliver.
I'll be on the lookout for my next opportunity to swoop in and use that bad boy!
