Yeah, mame is kind of weird about the way it deals with multiple devices, but it's not entirely mame's fault. I'm sure I can fix this, if I wanted to, but it just got me questioning as a whole, the multiple keyboards thing, and if it's really necessary for me to have that option on at all. So none of my configurations work any more, as Keyboard 1 is now Keyboard 2 in mame. The reason I am asking is because I recently switched around how my USB's were plugged in, and MAME has renumbered my keyboards. For the life of me, I just can't figure out why I turned it on in the first place! Anyway, I was just wondering if there were any benefits to having this multiple keyboards option enabled besides this numbering? Anything I am missing? From my point of view, I am getting no benefit from having it on. There's only one button, as a whole, assigned to A. So there is not really a KEYCODE_1_A and a KEYCODE_2_A. Now, I am currently working with a four player arcade machine, however, each button is assigned to a different unique key. So when I set my keys for games in MAME it will say something like KEYCODE_2_A instead of just KEYCODE_A. From what I can tell, all it does, is let know that there are multiple keyboards and it assigns each keyboard a number. Well, I turned this option on, once upon a time, and I have no idea why I did it. I think it's just multiplekeyboard in the mame.ini file. I remember that there is a setting in Mame for "Multiple Keyboards".
