Reprogram the X-Arcade to use different keys for Button 4 (Shift) or Joy1, change settings in Maximus to match. Turn off numlock when using Maximus (now joy1 on the X-Arcade acts like arrow keys) If you get the black screen don't panic, just spin joy1 again and use the exit command again. Spin Joy1 in a complete circle before exiting a game.

There is a known Windows software bug with exiting Maximus Arcade on older model X-Arcade controllers, click here for info and workarounds. NOTE: Upon first launch you will get a black screen while Maximus does its initial scan of your games, and anytime you tell it to scan for new games. If your ROMs don't appear or don't work see our ROMS page. Close preferences, your screen will be blank for a few minutes while it is updating. Next click on the "Scan" tab at the bottom, and put a check next to "Force rescan of media folder". Next to "Configuration for" choose the emulator you want to look for new ROMs in (example MAME) from the drop-down list. Alternatively open Preferences (Use the keyboard's RIGHT-SIDE CONTROL KEY (NOT LEFT) CONTROL+P while in the front end, or the Preferences link found at C:\MAX 2.10\Frontend) and choose the Configuration tab.

With ROMS now added, run the Maximus Arcade.exe and wait for it to search for your games (black screen) until is opens.Under the ' Configuration tab' (with ' Configuration for' set to ' MAME') you will see that the ROMs folder is set to C:\MAX 2.10\MAME\roms\, which is where you will want to drop some ROM files (don't unzip them).Preferences is also where you can make changes to the controls for the Maximus Frontend, but by default it's already set up for X-Arcade use. Don't add any more yet, and never add more than 1 at once and only after you've verified the ones you do have enabled are working. Under the ' Display Order' tab you will see that MAME is already enabled by default. In the C:\MAX 2.10\Frontend\ folder run the Preferences.exe.Once extracted, we would recommend going to the C:\MAX 2.10\Frontend\ folder and right-clicking on both Maximus Arcade.exe and Preferences.exe and choosing 'S end To' > 'Desktop (create shortcut)' which will do just that.
