Pretty sure the overlap started with Andy choosing default buttons for the IPac2 which became accepted as pseudo-defaults.

Just reprogram the IPac to "deconflict" the overlaps.

Ok, this is making more sense.  However, in that link you posted, RandyT said "It's all relative anyway, as MAME doesn't care.  It doesn't even look at the definitions for Player 3 unless Player 3 is actually playing."

If this is the case, why does my button 5 for player 2 not work when I'm only playing a two player game?

I understand that, but I have gone into Mame and mapped those two buttons to match the ipac default keycodes, and they still don't work...

the truth of the matter is that the default keymap for the ipac sucks.  personally, i remap pretty much the entire thing using ultimarc's software.  i don't like to use the shift/alt/ctrl keys because they have a tendency if causing other windows related issues....just reprogram it and save yourself the headaches.

So you used the WinIPac software to reprogram the IPac and changed the settings in MAME and it doesn't work?

When you open Notepad and press the P2 buttons and P3 joystick, does it type the desired keystrokes?

If the right keystrokes show up in Notepad, pull up the "Input (general)" menu -- verify the settings there are correct/change them as needed.

Next pull up the "Input (this Game)" menu in any game that you had previously changed settings -- verify the settings there are correct/change them as needed.
