When you change the control in "Input (This Machine)" does it show a keyboard character or joystick up/down/right/left? Same for the buttons, Button A,B,C,D or ctrl, alt, space or ????
Since Windows is seeing them as USB Generic Joysticks MAME is probably getting those winID's for the controllers & that will change each time you run MAME, thus you have to re-do them everytime. I've never had to deal with that but I think there is a semi-workaround in the forum here somewhere.
Or it could be something completely different with what seem to be your odd i-pac decoded joysticks(?)...If it was an i-pac decoder it should say USB HID Device not a generic joystick & show key presses, not directions or button presses. Something odd going on with those for sure so I could be completely wrong & someone will correct my assumptions.
Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!
