Mame64 .205 ctrlr files

[BlackDragon2020]

Getting back into finishing the arcade up. I am having trouble with ini and ctrlr files.

My setup and what I'm trying to do.

Have ipac

I have 7 button

123

4567

Trying to use Ctrl files to assign the keyboard inputs from 4567 to be the inputs to button 1234 in mame, for neogeo.

I have used a .cfg like this 

https://pastebin.com/9Xp97xcd but with my mappings, this is someone else's.

At first it was not parse my .cfg. saying fatal error.

so after running in admin mode, finding the mame.ini in my system32 folder and adding the complete path for ini and ctrlr, it parse the neogeo.cfg, but does not change my mappings. Oddly enough it parse neogeo, then default, then mslug4.

I even put the full <system name> tag in default.cfg with no luck. I have had the neogeo.cfg system name set to default or neogeo. I have used port tags with and with out the :edge: and mask=.

Thanks for your time.

Had a default in system 32. Now that I know how this works, I undone run as administrator. I got it working out of the mame folder, but have new issue. I leave default.cfg blank it loads my neogeo.cfg settings in the games, but my other games non neogeo don't have the custom mapping that was stored in default.cfg. is there anyway to change the load order?

So I went the road of making a default.cfg then making a cfg for each driver.

Added them all to one cfg placed in ctrlr folder. Added the ctrlr file name to the mame.ini

It was all working through mame, but then I ran hyperspin and it's broken does not work. Now even though my ctrlr file looks right if I load mame by itself it like it does not load it even though it's listed in the mame.ini ;/ I'm lost.
