      Have had an annoying issue for a while on Mame FBA games. Most games I launch in Mame, (any version) and FBA are giving 2 or more credits even though I have settings in retroarch or in game mame menu set to 1 coin/1 play. This is a problem when your playing any game that automatically starts a two player game with more than 1 credit. I have tried going into the retropie setup and looking for any setting that might be set wrong but no such luck. Any suggestions? I thought it might be a faulty xbox360 controller, but this also happens with my keyboard as well.

        @anmag70 There isn't anything in the RetroPie setup to control that, it's up to the emulator. I've also noticed this in FBNeo (the continuation of FBAlpha) while playing Metal Slug 4 the past week - on coin (Select) gives more than 1 credit. I wonder if it's not something in the Dip Switches/Options for the game in question, accessible through the RGUI.

          Yes. Some games you can manipulate by changing setting to 2 coins/1 credit if the game in question has that option, some do not. I have tried re-installing mame 2010/ 2003 but same outcome. Will probably do a fresh install now that the pi-4 is out anyway. Thanks for your input.
