Game resetting P1B1

Post by firehawk618 » Tue Jun 08, 2021 3:07 am

Hello, recently installed an Arpicade into a spare arcade cabinet I have for running Mame exclusively. It's all working EXCEPT when I press button 2 "P1B1" during a game the game will reset.

I have gone through all the input options that I could find and don't see anything mapped to that button except P1B1.

I am running 3.9 on a B3+ pi. I tried 3.7 but 3.7 would consistently boot to the low power lightning bolt so I tried 3.9 and that's been fine except this one issue.

I have not changed any button mapping, I even re-imaged the SD card to make sure I didn't screw it up somehow.


2 questions.

1. is 3.9 the recommended release for my setup?

2. If not any ideas as to what I can do / reconfigure to make the games quit resetting when pressing button P1B1?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I can coin up with P1 start + P1B0. I can get into the settings menu for each game with P1 start + P1 right.

Not sure what would be going wrong there.

It's probably worth trying ARpiCADE 3.X as that is the latest version, I don't remember encountering this problem in 3.9 though so it may not help...

Does it happen in all MAME versions or a specific one only?

I have not tried 3.X yet. I will try it tomorrow.

I tried 2 versions of mame and both did it.

Thanks.
