Worked for me, using Hotrod joystick. Thanks!

Thanks! You've done a great job with this.

It stayed in the game! But my coin button on my hotrod controller didn't work. I know that in my GameEx settings, I had to add -ctrlr hotrod to the MAME command line, so that it would recognize the player 1 coin button. So, it seems like maybe the attract mode isn't using my configured command line when it launches MAME? But that might also might not be the case, because I also added a command-line option to disable the bezel graphics in MAME, and the attract mode doesn't enable them. Doesn't make sense....

I'm using a hotrod controller from www.hanaho.com I don't think it has an IPAC, I think they make their own custom controller board.

First, I want to say kudos - this is an EXCELLENT contribution to the greater good of us all. I'm very impressed. I have version 4.07, and the attract mode enabled. There are lots of times I walk by and see a game that I'd like to "drop a quarter into", but every time I do it, it seems like the game takes the key input, but moments later I get dumped back into GameEX. I have a hotrod joystick, not sure if that matters or not. I've tried numerous buttons. BTW, I press the P1 coin button, and I've also tried every other button on the controller to no avail. It seems like the game gets these keypresses.... Any ideas?
