MALA flipping orientation on up/down all of a sudden. Only when in MAME menu?

[plantkingdom]

I've searched, but no one seems to have my exact problem.  I've been messing with the options, but I cannot find a solution.

Today, all of a sudden on my MALA frontend, and only when on the MAME menu and no other system, the thing flips upside down when I hit up/down on my joystick.  It's driving me crazy because I just got a new system and updated a bunch of the graphics, blah blah blah.  Is there a simple, quick setting I need to fix?  I don't see anything in any of the settings that's obvious.  I REALLY don't want to have to go back and set everything back up.

Is there a specific file I could overwrite in my installation folder to reset the controls to default so I can just reset them?  Sorry if this is too obvious and a newbie question.  I am, indeed a newbie and this is my first cab.  It's driving me crazy right now. 

Thanks in advance... anyone?  Please?

open mala.ini with notepad and search for "flip"
make sure every occurence of flip orientation=0

I'm sure you changed it in the menu accessed by right clicking in mala and selecting options, but I don't remember where those options are at the moment.  They both accomplish the same thing.
