Well I used to be running Mame 0.61 in my cabinet. I was using ctrlr files and everything was working fine. Then I backed up everything and reinstalled Windows 2000 on my cabinet since I got a new hard drive for it. Anyways, I upgraded to Mame 0.63 and now I can't get the ctrlr files to work anymore. In my Mame.ini I have the ctrlr_directory set to c:\mame\ctrlr and in that same folder I have all my ctrlr ini files. I have a default.ini in there that is set to work for my custom control panel setup. But Mame never see's it. It's always got the default Mame keys setup. I also tried deleting my default.cfg file for Mame. But that didn't make a difference. Any thoughts or ideas?

Try the command line way of doing it. "mame -ctrlr myctrlr somegame"
ok, in your ini file if that works you should have.
ctrlr_directory ctrlr
ctrlr myctrlr

Okay Poonga, that didn't work. When I do this:
mame -ctrlr ctrlr\default.ini shdancer
Then the game runs and the buttons are not correct, and when I exit it gives the fps like normal.
I can post my default.ini ctrlr file if you want but I know there is nothing wrong with it, unless ctrlr ini formats have changed since 0.61...
Nevermind I got it. Thanks

make sure verbose is in the mame.ini file, that ay you see what files the game parsed.
Glad you figured it out:)
For those that read this and have trouble, the commandline he posted was WRONG!
Let's say you have c:\mame\ctrlr\mycabinet
The command line would be
mame -ctrlr mycabinet somegame

Yes that's what confused me. I forgot that the 'ctrlr' that you specify has to have it's own 'directory' called that same thing (it's case-sensitive) and then all your ini's would be in that folder and the default.ini has the have the ctrlrname set to the same name as the folder (again, case-sensitive).
