This is in no way suppose to sound rude ..... it was just something I was wondering about ......
so ..... why is the Mame team putting a lot of effort towards getting CHD games emulated at the present time, when issues like the one above still exist in Mame? I was told that most CHD games will not even run on the fastest computer available today, so why not fix stuff which most people consider problems in Mame first?
Just curious.....

Unforunately (with regard to the latter part of that answer) the MAMEdev don't seem particularly interested in having these issues fixed...in fact they don't even consider it broken/wrong, which it clearly is.
Edit: thinking about it I'm pretty sure Howard fixed a bunch of input issues to help with progression on controls.dat...IIRC a few were accepted but many refused.

It's really very simple and has been discussed many times over the years. If the inputs in the official version were changed to work with arcade machines devs would no longer be able to test or fix the games. That's what derivative builds are for. And just so you know most people do not consider this a problem.
BTW using 24 inputs for a pair of ls-30's strikes me as just short of insane. Run them through an encoder first and get down to 8 at least. Seems like it would be a lot easier though to change mame to use druin's interface correctly as you would have to change mame either way.

How is that any different from the rest of the money we spend on this hobby? ;D
That would still be cheaper than buying an original Ikari Warriors game.
