Tries a search but has no luck...

I'm using win98, mamewah, mame, ipac-ve. In windows or mamewah, I have all 4 directions on my joysticks. Once I load a game, I only have up and down.

Where did right and left go?

I'm sure this is something simple and previously discussed, but I just can't find it.

TIA

Dave.

Did that... left is left arrow, right is right arrow. Both in mame and in notepad.

again I'm guesssing here cause you really did not specify exaclty what is what but here is my guess again.

Maybe the game you loaded is suppose to be only UP and DOWN .

No. Gyruss, Pac man, robotron, Galaga... Some random games as well. Tried known 8-way, 4-way, 2-way, etc. I have all 4 directions in notepad and mamewah. Only up & down register in mame. Regular command line mame v.86.

Added: This is also not joystick specific, as both an 8-way and 4-way share the inputs and have the same effect. Joys are verified to be wired correctly, so it has to be in the software.

EUREKA!

After several re-boots, some file shuffling, and head scratching I have it. Nothing obvious was working, so I went into tab in mame and re-mapped the left and right arrow keys to something else beside left and right arrow. Then re-boot. Re-mapped the keys back to the correct keys and it works! I'm not sure why it works, but it works. I haven't re-started since but I have no reason to believe that it will change.

Thanks to Thenasty for your responses, and patience

try deleting the CFG and nvram for the games thats acting up.
Then making sure in the TAB/- General inputs are ok and also the INPUT FOR THIS GAME is also ok. That should do it. And also delete the default.cfg.
