Got My Cocktail cabinet build up and running and slowly adding the roms I want into the MAME structure.
So my build is as follows:
Arcade1UP Cocktail Cabinet
HDMI Adapter for the screen
Windows 10 PC
USB Controls
The machine boots into windows and I run Mame from there. Ultimately I'll have the machine start Mame directly but I'm still configuring. I had to rotate the windows screen 90 deg to make it more practical for setup etc
So I have a bunch of roms running ok, for the most part. One thing I cannot fix though is the way the joystick interacts with the Mame front end. The up/down movements of the joystick actually moves the cursor action left/right while The Left/Right movement of the joystick is how I navigate up/down in the mame interface. ::)
Sounds like a simple fix but for the life of me I cannot rotate that joystick orientation 90 degrees.
Most of the games work fine straight out the gate, it's JUST the Mame interface...
Any ideas?
Cheers

Go to the MAME "Input (general) -- User Interface" menu.
Remap the "UI Up", "UI Down", "UI Left", and "UI Right" inputs. ;D

Done it a million times, it does absolutely nothing. I even mixed it up, inputting deliberately wrong settings, it literally ignores it

That's odd. :dizzy:
Confirmed working with either keyboard or joypad in MAMEUIFX v0.152 and regular MAME v0.238 here.
- The inputs work with the new keystroke/joypad values as soon as they are remapped.
- Works in the MAME "TAB" menus for both versions.
- Works in the MAME built-in UI game selection menu, but not in the MAMEUIFX game selection menu.
*grasping at straws*
Have you tried bringing up the menu and remapping while a game is running? (this is how I did it)
Can you remap game inputs? (might be a file set to read-only)
Is there anything in your ui.ini that looks relevant? (don't see anything in mine, but yours may be different)
Have you tried rotating using ror or rol in mame.ini?
- These options rotate the screen orientation and the joystick menu navigation.
- With ror enabled as shown below, up on the joystick moves toward the right of the screen i.e. top of the menu.
