MAME no longer saving PID's

[Joe35car]

OK I havn't played MAME in a while but this has worked for years until now. I'm using MAME 287. Here is what is in my cfg in the ctrlr folder. file named mapdevice. Inside my MAME ini is this 

#
# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#
coin_lockout              1
ctrlr                     mapdevice

and below is the cfg I use for the ID's

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mameconfig version="10">
    <system name="default">
        <input>
            <mapdevice device="VID_0483&amp;PID_5750&amp;MI_00&amp;Col01#8&amp;38255be8&amp;0&amp;0000#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd}" controller="GUNCODE_6" /> 
            <mapdevice device="VID_0483&amp;PID_5751&amp;MI_00&amp;Col01#9&amp;23770f6c&amp;0&amp;0000#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd}" controller="GUNCODE_7" />
            <mapdevice device="3A-3H Retro Shooter 1 product_57500483-0000-0000-0000-594944564944 instance_d13114f0-de41-11ef-8001-4445535400000" controller="GUNCODE_6" />
            <mapdevice device="3A-3H Retro Shooter 2 product_57510483-0000-0000-0000-504944564944 instance_9fffae80-e0b9-11ef-8001-4445535400000" controller="GUNCODE_7" />
            <mapdevice device="Xinput Player 1" controller="JOYCODE_4" />
            <mapdevice device="Xinput Player 2" controller="JOYCODE_5" />
        </input>
    </system>
</mameconfig>

 

Now everytime I shutdown MAME it keeps changing my gun ID's. MAME must of changed something in the past releases.

From the Windows Command Prompt, run the command "mame.exe -v" and read through the verbose output.

It should show the devices is whatever order, then later indicate it's loading your mapdevice.cfg file and (re)setting the order.
