X Arcade stick stops working in the middle of a game- only recently

[thejamestownoasis]

Hi all:

well, after much help from folks on this forum, I finally got mame/lb working about a month ago.

now, out of nowhere, when I start a game of golden tee (99% of what I play) the controller will work fine, until “x” hole, when the top 3 ledt buttons will just stop working! Trackball buttons work. “Pinball” buttons work.

if I restart the buttons will work again and then, at some point, poof! Bizarro.

checked with a couple other games: same thing. This just started recently. I shoulf mention I hear a distinct 3 note “tone” RIGHT when it happens: kinda sounds like a windows tone I cannot quite recognize.

i’m so terrible at this stuff: this is the last thing I needed- I’m a big Brewers fan and a bunch of buds are coming over for the game and some GT: just figures!

 

any help anyone can lend would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

 

thanks

james

Went looking:

 

the sound sure does sound like windows 10 “background” and/or “foreground”

the buttons stop working and will not return PRECISELY when the sound comes on.

for a layman like me, this is nuts! Never happened before in the last month!
