MAME Player Two Controls Not Working Except for Start and Select
-
I have built a two-man arcade console with a joystick and six buttons each man. There is a select and start for each player. The first two roms I've loaded are Frogger and PacMan. I select two player at the start of the games but the two players do not alternate, they both play on player 1's console.
I am running he roms under mame2003 on a pi3b+
What have I overlooked or don't understand? Thank you

@Bushmeister Frogger and Pac-Man (and many others) only had one set of controls; there was no need to install a second set of hardware, since the players take turns anyway. As far as the game is concerned, there aren't any "player 2" inputs except for the second coin slot and the 2-player start button (select and start on the second controller.)
You could remap this so that both sides control "player 1" (except for start button of course) and you can even make it only for these games so that 2p simultaneous still works on other titles -- the only catch is, they will both be always active so you have to trust the other person not to interfere when it's your turn.
