Custom joystick input can't distinguish between Player 1's and Player 2's buttons

Hi, I'm trying to setup a third joystick (4 way) using an Xin Mo arcade controller that supports 2 gamepads by using the unused inputs for 4 buttons that belongs to the 2nd player's "gamepad"

In the Windows XP game controller setup, all is well as moving the third joystick triggers the correct buttons e.g 8,9,10,11 for Player 2. However in GameEx, I have assigned Player 1's button 8, 9 to be my "back" and "select" buttons in my custom joystick input. So when I try to use the third joystick it will output "back" and "select" even though the third joystick belongs to Player 2's button set.

So it seems that GameEx is unable to distinguish the buttons between Player 1 and Player 2 even though Windows and Mame sees them as two different buttons.

I know I can hook up the 4 way to my other joystick but it would be nice to be able to use this a separate joystick for those 3 and 4 player games in Mame.

Have I missed a configuration or is this a limitation of the software?

Thanks for looking into this and I await your reply.
