Escaping games using a controller

Mame4all vs 2nd player
By chance, is the ground daisy chain connected properly to these buttons and the xin-mo, and is it the same wire used on the joystick as well or is the joystick connected to player 1 ground chain?

Mame4all vs 2nd player
The patch is already included in this version. When you hit the TAB button to enter the menu, when you config player 2 controls, is it registering any keys at all?

Is it somehow possible to create a menu like the one in mame (Tab) for every emulator. This would make it easier to map controls & configure basic options.....
