I picked up a working two person Maximus Games MAME cabinet and have been enjoying it for several months. When changing between games it seems I somehow accidentally enabled a hotkey or unintentionally did something that changed my controls on all games. Oops! I wasn't even in the settings menu. I was playing Hyper Sports and apparently pressed some combination of buttons and now have the option for four players even though I have a two person cabinet. Again, all games now have different controls and can no longer be played except for the ability to play Hyper Sports at 4 players (I can control players 1 and 3, each on the player one side of the two player cabinet). Any idea how to revert back to previous settings? I would appreciate some phone support. Any services available, ideas, or recommendations? I'm in Southern California in case there are any local pros available to help in person. Thanks!

From part of your description, it sounds like you might have modified the dip switches for Hyper Sports, switching it to the 4-player instead of 2-player settings.
You can adjust MAME settings by hitting TAB while in the game and take a look for that.
I'm not sure why that would effect your ability to play other games though. For control problems in general, if it's all arcade games, I'd keep looking around in MAME. Maximus Arcade (the front end) doesn't dictate controls.

^ This.
Sounds like you have somehow modified the MAME config.

Delete the default.cfg file in the Mame/cfg directory. That will make the keys back to default (i.e. Up=Up Arrow, Down=Down Arrow, etc) for all games.
