I honestly have no idea. I always was under the impression that the X-Arcade presented itself to the (MS-Windows) OS as a keyboard (and a mouse, in case of the trackball), and yet we have a default 'xarcade.cfg' in the 'ctrlr' folder.

The only thing I can think of as a starting point for troubleshooting, is to start mame without using your specific config files like this (from the command prompt), and see how it goes :

mame -noreadconfig pacman
