MAME : Synden as JOY1 instead of another controller?

[defmaka]

I've a cabinet with different inputs, MAME assigns to synden gun 1 and 2 JOYCODE 1 and 2, and to XINPUT 1 and 2 JOYCODE 3 and 4.

I've tried remapping but it doesn't work: as you can se in my MARremapControls.cfg ( placed in ctrlr dir) I've just the 2 xinput devices but as you can see in the verbose logsDMLIST.TXT it tries to apply MARremapControls.cfg but nothing happens. 

in mame ini it is referenced so i don't really know what i'm doing wrong: it stills list XINPUT 1 as joy3.

 

MARemapControls.cfg mame.ini

DMLIST.TXThere's dmlist, the verbose log

[What I see different between yours and mine is...]  Your <system> needs to encapsulate <input>.   You have it closed right away.   

"<system name="default" />"   Need to remove the / (slash) then close it down below (the [added] 2nd to last line).

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- This file is autogenerated; comments and unknown tags will be stripped -->
<mameconfig version="10">
    <system name="default" >
		<input>
			<mapdevice device="XInput Player 1" controller="JOYCODE_1" />
			<mapdevice device="XInput Player 2" controller="JOYCODE_2" />
		</input>
    </system>
</mameconfig>
