My hardware description: AMD Phenom X4 9950+ ASUS M4A78 PRO ATI Radeon HD3200 2GB DDR2 800 OCZ Platinum 2Tb Barracuda SATA2 (X2) Windows XP with last update and drivers. Edit1: Independent of any mane.ini settings, the game invrvnge also has the same problem.

Practically and technically, it is hardly possible that the filtering option affects the MAME input interface. Especially in your case, the problem occurs in a lot of unrelated game titles. I would like to suggest you to remove all setting files and reset your MAME setup from scratch and see how it works.
