Hi all, Newbie here.
Got my Arpicade set up installed and was working well then i tried some games that require upward movement and the player 1 joystick has no up movement. Player 2 joystick works fine.
Thought maybe faulty microswitch in Joystick 1 - checked with multimeter and tests ok.
Also tried Keyboard control via USB and same issue with up key not working in games.
Bit of Linux novice so not really keen on hacking around files without clear guidance but had a look and saw consistent settings in files around Joystick raw etc for P1 and P2.
If it was Joystick HW why does the Keyboard have the same issue via USB(bypassing the joystick wiring)?
EDIT - up key /Joystick works in UP direction on other emulators and menus but not in advmame games
Any suggestions of what it could be? Appreciate any thoughts or direction here.
Cheers,
Marty

Well, thats really weird.
Went into the advmame emulator controls via the gui and reentered exactly the same settings that were there.
Seems to have come good.
My only guess is i had a corrupt settings file that was re written when i reentered the same settings.

That's odd but I'm glad you found a solution. Especially odd you had issue with keyboard and joystick up... at least it works right now.

seems to only work as a 4 way despite being set as an 8 way. But will do for now.
