Mame controls wont work after game select

[PL1]

I've been to control panel and it is working, I've tested every button on players one and two. They all highlight when pressed and show they are functioning on control panel.

That eliminates the Xin-Mo as the source of the problem.

If you have the 2-player Xin-Mo instead of two separate 1-player encoders, I'm pretty sure that rules out windows reassigning controller positions.

Can you launch a game in MAME and post a screencap of the "Input (this game)" menu like Yamatetsu suggested?

Screencaps of the "Input (general)" -- "User Interface" and "Player 1 Controls" menus could also be useful.   

If you can't do that, please post a copy of your "mame.ini" file. (should be in the ..\mame\ini\ folder)

Hello again, that worked!! , I've now applied just those two settings in the general settings and I've tested a number of games and they all now work. Thanks so much! The only thing I must ask, on the side of my cabinet, I have a 'back/exit' button I use to return to the mala game menu, I can't seem to find where to select that option on the menu? So I've had to use the keyboard esc button to go back at the moment. I can't see a 'back/exit/return' option anywhere?

Going into the mame tab key menu and assigning the coin and player one button fixed the problem. Like I said, I can't find where to assign my 'exit/back/return' button to get back to the mala game list when I want to change game. I can't see where to add a exit button to on the mame tab menu

Had to google this. In the menu, go to 'Input (general)', then 'User Interface'. Look for 'UI Cancel' and change that to your exit button.
