I've started logging my progress on my website so I thought I would keep posting my updates in this comment.

Seems all our discussions are gone.

Anyways, 2 minutes after my last post I figured out that to use multiple controllers in MAME v.106 you need to put a 2 for the joysticks in mame.ini
(where you would normally have 0 for none and 1 for yes)

It works and allowed me to map separate controllers to the pedals, but with RACERMame it would not keep the settings after closing and restarting the game.
There could be something somewhere else overriding it, but I did not dig any deeper.

...so I figured out that much.  :-\

Thanks. This is very helpful. To save your settings in 1.06 you have to start the game with the config deleted. It's an annoying bug. I guess a couple more hours will be required...

Would setting it to read-only do anything to help?

You've got a very nice setup in that cab. Just a shame you did not setup Demul which would allow your Crazi Taxi cab to play...Crazy Taxi.

That's a mame 106 bug i could not fix. Delete the game specific cfg file, run the game and make the input changes you need via TAB menu. Next time they will be ok. If you need another change, delete the cfg again etc etc
