When playing games in Mala, I have a problem where when I play, what I consider old school games, Pac Man, Galaga etc. my controls work fine. If I play something like Nba Jam, 720 deg. etc. it works fine for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then all of a sudden a couple of the buttons remap themselves to someting else. Again this only happens in the "newer" games. I can play Galaga for hours and nothing goes wrong. If I reboot the computer, its all resets itself and everything is fine. Im using Mala 172 and mame .141. For the controls I'm using the playstation 2 controller to usb. Any idea or questions? I'm lost. :dunno

As an example, I was playing 19XX tonight, everthing was fine for about 10 or so minutes. I exited the game, and now the button I use for game/player 1 start is now the same as the scroll up in the menu. So when I scroll up, it starts the game highlighted. I went into the menu and pulled up the mapping test tab, and sure enough, when i press up, button 3 AND joy up lit up. And now now button 3 was now button 7. I'm about to set this thing on fire. :angry:

Thanks for the reply Louis. I actually tried Gameex last night and it did the same thing. So it looks like its on my end. I used a new ps2 controller through the same usb adapter today and had no problems at all. You think my soldering job is shorting out or something? I did use a playstation 1 controller to solder the wires to. I wouldn't think that would matter though. I just can't figure out why it only does it on the newer games and not Galaga and such. Very weird.
