Everytime I change the default general input controls in MAME to correspond to my IPAC settings, it never saves it. When I go to the config file for MAME, it only has the 1 player controls listed. I can change those, but that still leaves 2,3, and 4 player controls unchanged. Is there any way to get MAME to save the controller configurations when I change it in game? I've searched around and couldn't find anything related to this.
I don't like the default IPAC and MAME controls because I've had people mash buttons on my cabinet and it ends up doing wierd stuff like ctrl+alt+direction on 1st player flips the screen in windows.
Thanks!

1. If you are using MameUI use the normal mame instead (I used mameui and I had issues with it saving controllers.. the mame you get from the official website may not have these issues).
2. Here's a thread where they posted a 4 player configuration, download it, copy and paste it to your file (or rename it to ma, and reconfigure it to match your controls)

Wow thanks! I think I'll just get the text file and remap everything. That might be tedious but I reeaalllly don't want to mess with compiling the newest version of MAME.

Why not just set the default values (input general)? Its the first option in the list.
This is what the game will use if there isn't a game specific values saved.
