Here is my problem. Lets say I select Joust from the Maximus Arcade FE, it loads through MAME. I add a coin, (using an X-Arcade cabinet with the Tankstick) and start the game. All is good but the wife wants to play as Player 2, adds a coin and hits Player 2 Start but it doesn't register. Some other details: button and wiring check good with a meter. Using the X-Arcade Test Utility Program shows ALL buttons work EXCEPT the Player 2 Start. One last consideration: In the X-Arcade/Maximus game menu, I can reboot the computer by holding Player 2 Start + pressing the Player 1 Coin button, and it will reboot. So MAME doesn't recognize the button but Maximus does? Must be a setting somewhere?
Bear with me as i got the cabinet from a coworker and it wouldn't play anything. So I got, finally after a week, a package from X-Arcade and reloaded the software. I have had the cabinet for just over two weeks now and i am a complete noob to all this, but trying to learn quickly. If i remember correctly I managed to play a Street Fighter II (before the software reload) through the screen saver and the Player 2 Start button worked then. I am somewhat (stressing somewhat) competent navigating through this stuff, but please remember, two weeks ago I didn't even know what ROMs or MAME were. I guess we all start somewhere. Thanks in advance for any help. -Mark
