I have an upright arcade cabinet.

 

When i play a 2 player game like pac man both games only work through the player 1 joystick.

 

How can i set the 2 player games to play player 1 through the left joystick and player 2 through the

 

right joystick.

 

What is confusing is that the controls and buttons for both joysticks are recognized as two separate

 

joysticks when setting up the joysticks via the in game setup.

Those games only had a single set of controls that you took turns on, so I guess they will ignore whatever you've set the Player 2 controls to in MAME's Input (General) menu.  Have you tried Input (This Game)?

 

I'm not in a position to test it right now but thinking about it you may even have to set player 1's controls to be both the left stick and the right stick at the same time.
