The mapping appears to mirror what is in the Test Mode -> Controls Test. with each player having 4 buttons usable and the controls for LEFT (p1) - CENTER (p2) - RIGHT (p3) as actual received values. This game seems to use the proper inputs based on that where Dial 2 is not used for this game. |

Dials are not tested in Test Mode -> Controls Test. Please reproduce the issue the way I described (ingame) and you'll see I'm true. |

https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Arcade/Manual/formated/Off_the_Wall_-_1991_-_Atari.pdf Doing some research of the actual game manual, there are two different control panel possibilities for control. There is even a dip switch which should allow control of using one (JOYSTICK) OR the other (WHIRLY-GIGS) but right now, regardless of what I pick it, the software is choosing JOYSTICK. As far as the buttons are concerned, the LEFT (p1) buttons control player 1 and the RIGHT (p3) control player 2. I only tried the keyboard but the P1 + P3 buttons listed fired the ball into play as expected - nothing player 2 in the input menu functioned. I Enabled three player mode Test Menu -> Game Options -> Number of Players Allowed, restarted MAME and noted that all the controllers (again, I used keyboard), moved and shot/started with the key expected for each RED (left) Green (center) and BLUE (right). The only issue I'm seeing is, again, the Dip Switch not changing the detected controller as selected. |

You tested keyboard, but I'm talking about the Analog Controls mapped in MAME here. In fact I entitled this issue with that. The rest of the controls are fine. I'm just saying "Dial Analog 2" and "Dial V Analog 3" are exchanged and you can test this by setting this controls to any analog controller you have (gamepads with an analog stick, flightstick or even a mouse), then check them by firing the ball then moving the pertinent analog control. Surprise! Player 2 firing key works but it moves with player 3 analog controls !!! Exactly the same happens (on the opposite) with player 3. As it is named in mame: "Dial Analog 2" and "Dial V Analog 3". They are exchanged. |

I've found out WHIRLY-GIGS must be set inside the dip switches for the issue to ocurr. Anyway, WHIRLY-GIGS is the default option of the game. I don't know why you can't choose it. Maybe your cfg game file is marked as read only. If you set the game with "JOYSTICK" switch, the controls aren't exchanged, but analog controls work as digital controls. *Updating the main ticket info |

Isn't this an easy fix? |
