Title: Keywiz Max - Problem with P2 Button 3
Post by: penguinpc on July 29, 2011, 04:24:24 pm

I have two joysticks, each with 7 buttons. The player 1 controls work fine, but I am experiencing some problems with player 2.

For example:

When playing Altered Beast, the buttons from left to right are punch, kick, and jump. With player 2, I have punch and kick, but nothing happens when I push the jump button.

I have tested this button with Note Pad, and the letter q is typed each time I push Player 2 button 3 (or jump in Altered Beast, player 2), just as it should be.

I have tested it some other two player games that require 3 buttons and it doesn't work in them, either.

Any suggestions?

If it is working in notepad then you can rule out the encoder/ acutal button hardware as being faulty. It means that the computer is reading it correctly.

The problem is that mame isn't reading the key correctly. Hit tab, go to input general, then player two select the third button and then tap your button and it should assign it correctly

Looks like this is a problem with HyperSpin.

The player 2 button 3 works fine if I start MAME by directly clicking on MAMEUI,exe, but when I start MAME through HyperSpin, the button does not work.
