Summary	03613: Controller input not functional in 64bit version.
Description	For every version of a 64bit version of MAME I've tried for months, not a single one allows joystick input. I've tried everything, so there must be something wrong with the MAME type - keyboard and mouse work fine just not gamepad. Tried the basic Mame, the UI, the FX, the XT version. Tried every version that also come out in the past few months. The 32 bit versions continue to work flawlessly with joysticks. I have 2 360 controllers and have tried the DirectInput driver and the Xinput driver. Everything is properly configured....or else use the 32bit exe would show the same thing. Clean install as aswell. All my other tens of emus and PC games work fine, just not Mame64. I didn't find any information on this when searching. Can someone confirm or offer suggestions or of course fix this?
Steps To Reproduce	1) Launch any game in Mame64 with a gamepad 2) Attempt to use the pad in gameplay (or bring up the Mame controller config and attempt to use input there). Results: No input is recognized.

No.05329 legend80 Tester Dec 27, 2009, 23:42	Hmmm...I tried with just one controller plugged in and same thing. Can anyone tell me why these 2 exes (32bit & 64bit) which are side by side in the same folder yeild different results when it comes to controller input? Darn wierd it is!

No.05558 Haze Senior Tester Jan 24, 2010, 03:00	so does it only work with SDL Mame, or standard MAME? The resolution here is confusing, as the original report indicates that the problem exists with all versions of MAME, but the final comment indicates that an SDL related change has fixed it?
