Two questions about MAME32k and newer releases

Hello,

I have MAME32k 0.67 and MAME 0.112. My first question is, how do you enable play for two players? Like I have two gamepads and only one works.
I try to setup both but when I do, the buttons or D-Pad won't work on the second player side, like when I try to setup the controller in the tabbed menu, it doesn't respond. Player one works fine though.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do there to make the second controller work. If anyone knows what options I'm supposed to check, your help would be great, thank you.

My second question is I've noticed that MAME32k has the options for 3x punch and 3x kick while newer versions don't, it's very helpful in the Capcom games. Well I wanted to know is there a way that I could transfer MAME32k's button layout to a newer MAME release?

Thank you
