happyfunball:
and thanks for the tip, its much appreciated.

PL1:
One way to be sure that it's not the game is to use either WinIPAC (Menu item Tools - Test Mode) or open MS Notepad/Wordpad.

Download WinIPAC here: http://www.ultimarc.com/download.html

The output of the minipac "types" the character corresponding to the joystick direction or button pushed.

Compare this to the MAME default keys.

defender seems to be going to a maintenance menu or something. I can scroll through options to change settings but I can't see how to exit it to the main attract screen

Are you talking about the MAME menu? (see attachment) "Esc" key will take you to the next higher menu, "Tab" will toggle the menu on/off, "Enter" selects options.

Did you use wire P2-B for exit on your admin panel? (Default key = Escape button)
P2-B is the brown wire on button/joystick harness farthest from the USB connector, very close to the daisy chain ground--one pin over, one pin up.

Did you accidently change the MAME exit command?
Bring up the MAME Menu - Input(general) - User Interface "UI Cancel" should be set to "Esc".  If not, move down to UI Cancel and press "Enter" then "Esc". UI Cancel will show "None". Next press "Enter" then "Esc" - it will be back to the default "Esc". This returns the selected setting back to the default. Great trick to remember if you program extra/wrong keys in MAME.

no, i meant the defender in game panel, but it seems it was a glitch in mame32, which I was using cause Maximus Arcade decided to stop loading games.
I threw up hyperspin and defender is working fine, but stargate is still stuck at the screen saying the game has been restored to factory defaults.

its progress of a sort.
