new version of mame32 came with new kb-hacked controller problems

[Robcade]

i made a kb-hacked 2 player controller about two years ago.  everything worked great.  anyway, ive been running mame32k 0.37beta14 since then, and have never had any problems.  ive recently acquired a game that my previous version of mame no longer supported, so i decided it was finally time to download a new version of mame32.  so i did just that... and am now running mame32 0.66(compiled march 10, 2003).  here is where my problem comes in.

i have my player 1 joystick mapped to the standard inverted T arrows on the keyboard.  those work fine.  however, of player 1's 6 buttons, one is mapped to the left ctrl key, one to the left shift key, and one to the left alt key.
when i go into any games, then go into the key assigning menu, and assign any of said keys, it says its detecting both l & r shift keys, l & r alt keys, and l & r ctrl keys.  what i mean is... if i map button 1 to the button i have set as L ctrl, it pops the following up... "button 1          left ctrl right ctrl".  if i amp button 2 to the button i have set as L shift, it says "button 2           L shift R shift".  ive never had any problem like this before.  why does the new version of mame32 think my Lctrl key is the same as Lctrl & Rctrl?  ive never had any problems like this before.  if i go back and run the original version of mame i was using, it works just fine.  any ideas?  thanks,

rob

I don't have this problem myself... but I believe I saw ppl mention it before...

did you pause the game while re-assigning keys ??
if you do, do not... and try again...

let the game run while you press tab and assign key...
I think that will solve your pblm...

but no guarantee...
