thanks man! i appreciate the help ill do it tomorrow :cheers:
The default keys in MAME are the default settings on every keyboard encoder and they suck.
After rewired, it should only take you 5 minutes to remap your entire 4 player panel globally in MAME.
Some of the fighting games will require individual attention to get the right buttons in the right place,
but they would require the same if using default mappings.
Unless you have no interest in ever adding an emulator other than MAME to your cab,
ditch the default inputs now before you invest a lot of time in setting up individual games.

My first CP was like yours with the joy on the right and buttons on the left on one side and the opposite on the other side. My kids told me that they wanted to play with their right hands on the joystick and hitting buttons with the left so I'm doing it that way.
Early machines often had the joy on the right and a button on the left or had a button on each side. Later, hitting the buttons was more important (at times) than the joystick direction so CPs adapted.
I'm guessing that most people have a preference based on what games they played the most growing up And those much younger than us are probably more adept at using either hand for buttons since they are on various phones/handheld games/tablets much more than we were at their ages.
And don't worry about people here liking what you did. If you like it, great. If not, change it until you do. :cheers:

thanks man, yeah im not taking it to hart, i did wanted to hear some comments even if they are bad.
me and my friends, we are in our early 30's and so far the reactions varies...
me myself i was ok with the joystick been on the right but then the configuration of buttons i preferred to be left to right vs. right to left.
ill give it another month or so to see how people react and then decide to change it or to let it be.
i got enough headache with the software and the hardware questions this days.
with the 3D games not working well at all.
i think my dual core amd been 2.4ghz is not enough for the Tekken and die hard
and i haven't even tried the ps2 emulator. :badmood:
im thinking of a quad core with 4gb ram and an ATI Radeon HD4670 1GB hopping that will do the trick.
any suggestions anyone?

Lotsa threads on the subject already.
Long story short, you need to get around 3Ghz for Tekken 3 to be playable, but that's still not fast enough to play NFL blitz and Gauntlet Dark Legacy.
I have 3.4Ghz Athlon X3s in two of my budget builds, but there is probably something better out there now for the price.
I can run the original Blitz with an occasional sound skip. Still can't run Gauntlet Dark Legacy.
If being able to run newer games is important to you, 3.8-4Ghz is more like it.
There will still be games that can't run full speed on your processor no matter how fast it is.
MAME is concerned with emulating the original system, not making it run full speed on current hardware.
The original Tekken game is playable on your hardware using Zinc emulator.

hey man
so i did as you posted and i did some more minor searching by myself as well
this is what i did:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
Value Name: NoWinKeys
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
restarted to comp and still same thing the Alt is still going to the top menus and all :\
Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
