Summary 07082: neogeo: Start button states are backward
Description Upon testing updated artwork for this system, I noticed that the states reported to artwork for the player 1 and 2 start buttons are reversed. The select game button displays correctly, but the other two don't (pressed vs. non-pressed).

Does that mean the artwork still needs work to be compatible? It doesn't sound like MAME itself is at fault.

It's not the artwork, it's the driver. When you have all three buttons referencing the same element, two read pressed and one reads not pressed, it is clearly a MAME problem. I took the advice and re-created the artwork file to use lamps instead of an LED for the game selected. That one was on me. This is a MAME issue, and I've done enough of these files to know that much.

For neogeo(arcade), the select button is indeed at "SYSTEM" inputmask="0x0200".

However, the other controls are at:
"edge:joy:JOY1", 0x01 to 0x80
"edge:joy:JOY2", 0x01 to 0x80
"edge:joy:START", 0x01 and 0x04

*edit* in case it wasn't clear: the issue is your artwork, not MAME. Change the input tags/masks in the .lay file and it will work.
