Problem with mame config

[crashwg]

I tried to change the default control settings in mame32 by hitting tab and going into "input (genereal)" and changing player 1 button 2 to left alt and right mouse instead of alt and middlemouse.

So I go down to the button I want to change, hit enter, escape (to clear the setting), then alt, just the left alt.  But it comes up as left alt right alt so the only way it works is if I hit both.  And also, I can't figure out how to program the mouse buttons either.  I hit enter then click the button, but nothing happens.

I've been through the help file that came with mame32 but I can't find anything about it.

Please help me...  I can't play any games with more than 1 button untill I fix it.

I would suggest creating a ctrlr file.  

Go to the ctrlr folder, make a new folder inside
Copy the std.ini file (in ctrlr folder) into the new folder and rename this to default.ini

Then where is has

P1_BUTTON1              "KEYCODE_LCONTROL | JOYCODE_1_BUTTON1 | MOUSECODE_1_BUTTON1"
P1_BUTTON2              "KEYCODE_LALT | JOYCODE_1_BUTTON2 | MOUSECODE_1_BUTTON3"

change it to

P1_BUTTON1              "KEYCODE_LALT"
P1_BUTTON2              "MOUSECODE_1_BUTTON1"

Then in mame32
Options - Default Game Options
Under the "Controller" tab make sure the "Enable Mouse Input" is ticked and then change the "Default Input Layout" select the name of the new folder you created.  Hope that helps.

I know it's fixed now, but this usually happens if the game is paused when you enter the UI Inputs menu.
