Just wondering if anyone had any handy hints on mame with 360 wireless controllers appearing to suddenly not respond to the input they are receiving !

Dongle is receiving instruction but mame is not picking it up that it has !

Controler has first player green light on.

I am on windows 10 , using coinops , which uses retrofe. I have original 360 wireless controllers with original wireless dongle.

Basically controller browses menu all ok, but randomly when I pick a game and it wont let me insert a coin, as if controller is not working. I know its working though as works in FE. It is quite random too !

Very similar to this post https://forums.libretro.com/t/controller-works-in-menu-stops-working-after-loading-game/26099. Basically sometime I pick a game from front end and controller wont let me input coins etc. I know mame is working fine as can press 5 on keyboard to whack a coin in. Also if I press the xbox round button to bring screen capture up I then press select on the controller I can see it does some thing , as goes to top box , so it is getting the input from the controller. Just seems to be mame which is not taking the input as player 1 I assume, Its quite random can work for quite a while before has a funny five minutes !

Disabling hotkeys is a suggestion, but I cant see any using "5" and I cant work out how to disbable all hot keys.

Any help appreciated as peeing me off !!

Thanks

I have recently purchased an original RF unit out a 360 which has been modded with a USB cable and some PC software. It is so much better and not dropped of at all. A lot better than original dongle !
