That has nothing to do with Mala.
That is your mappings in MAME. If you have multiple keyboard enabled in mame.ini, it will only accept control from the specific keyboard the button is mapped to. (keyboard #1, Keyboard #2, etc). Your jpac shows up as a different keyboard. Either disable multiple keyboards in mame.ini or remap all your controls in MAME. Keep in mind that if you unplug your keyboard, the numbers will change.
If you don't have a MAME.ini file in your mame folder, google how to create one.

The TAB button opens the menu to set up the controls in MAME.
It has nothing to do with MALA.
If the device you're using shows up as a gamepad, joystick will need to be enabled in mame.ini
joystick = 1

that don,t work aswell.... :'(

left it for a few weeks,still had no joy with it...... :angry:
