Up down not working on certain games

Post by jerryjrbest » Sun Nov 06, 2022 8:53 pm

My up and down joystick works in attract mode to select games but it does not work for certain games like the simpsons and moonwalker the button one also does not work in those games. But it works in other games.

That's odd but it sounds like it's just MAME(?) settings... which MAME are ou running those games in? Also which version of ARpiCADE are you using?

plug in a keyboard prior to powering up and in the menu you can hit 'e' with a game highlighted to see where it's running.

Well that's weird, AdvMAME should be pretty well setup... I'll take a look.

You can probably fix it yourself using AdvMAMEs 'tab' menu while the game is running. Just edit the inputs for this game.
