My previous computer (from like '03) has crashed, so I'm rebuilding the system.  Now with family & kids not much time for my toys & assistance is requested.  Just wanted to make it simple this time to play.  Frontend Mame32, V144 mame, using Slikstik Quad 4 as control panel.  I've done everything that I can remember 10 years ago, but the slikstik layout is not working.  I do still have the installation disk, I've installed the Quad 4 default.ini into the controller folder, however when I go to Mame 32 to select under the Tab "default game properties" & then dropdown box, to choose the slikstik it is not showing.  I've tried everything I can think of, read through the manual but am stuck.    I know things change over time & I haven't messed with setting anything up like this in a decade.  I know the Slikstik company is no longer in business, but am just trying to set back up so my son & I can play old school again.

Thanks for your time & any help would be greatly appreciated.

One other thing I've done is switch the ipac inside slikstik to usb from ps2 as the replacement computer doesn't have ps2 inputs.
