Ummm, you just set it up for the player one stick to be the movement stick and the player two stick to be the fire stick.

What he said...
but, I have to wonder... is your player 2 left handed or something? why is the stick "outisde" the buttons or did you diagram "wrap" or ??? or is it just personal preference (which is ok -> I just wonder based upon the desire for dueley stick action will be compounded with the goofey-footed joystick)

The IPac setup does not get affect by this.
It's still one IPac inpult for "up" another for "down", etc...
It's in MAME where you have set up the games:
1. You can set up a conroller ".ini" files:
http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu/ (Select "Controller INI Files" from the left menu).
It's somewhat complicated but the setup is stored in initialization files instead of cfg files. The latter should be deleted every time you upgrade to a new MAME version while the .ini files can remain.
2. While the game is running, enter the configuration screen and configure the P2 right joystick inputs to the buttons, stick of your choice. This setup gets stored in the .cfg files I told you about.
If only one player is going to play that type of game, or two players taking turns, then you should obviously set the P2 joystick as P1 right joystick.
For two simultaneous players, you would need to use the buttons as the right stick.
By the way, I echo the other poster's question:
Are you sure you want P2 to play left handed?
