Controller questions

[JustPassinThru]

I'm using an Ipac with Mame 32(for now) everything is wired up right because most games I try work correctly but some don't. I was hoping some of you all could help me out. I've already made a custom controller configuration in the controller folder so I'm pretty sure adjustments need to be made there but I'm not sure what. Here are some problems I have:
a-What do I need to do to make the dial work? I tried setting the button to "LShift" and "Z"(buttons 4 & 5) but that didn't work. Hope to get this one working because I love Ikari Warriors.
b-"Wrestlefest"'s button's won't work. The button work great on other games but not this one. I made sure the game was using the custom setup I created but no luck.
c-I can't get "Tecmo Bowl" started using any buttons either.
d-When I use "Tab" to adjust in game settings I have no movement, with the joystick or keyboard arrows, so making in game settings isn't possible. Right now.
Thanks for any help.
