Seems all our discussions are gone.
Anyways, 2 minutes after my last post I figured out that to use multiple controllers in MAME v.106 you need to put a 2 for the joysticks in mame.ini
(where you would normally have 0 for none and 1 for yes)
It works and allowed me to map separate controllers to the pedals, but with RACERMame it would not keep the settings after closing and restarting the game.
There could be something somewhere else overriding it, but I did not dig any deeper.
...so I figured out that much.
