Hola DeenOX. :)

It's strange. Try to do a complete MAME4droid unistall. Try again before you 
redefine Much buttons. Beware. There is a binding button to show up MAME4droid 
menu.

May be Mame is registering small inputs on analogs and take this as some kind 
of action to show the menu?

This device don´t have native joystick support, but the sticks are true 
analogs and may be are sending some kind of data that the emulator is 
considering in some way to show the menu interface?

i tested, reinstalling the app, opening and disabling the on screen controls 
(without mapping nothing), and the menu show again.

There is an option to set the analog dead zone value. But to take effect. 
mame4droid has to detect as a analog device. Try to unbing menu key from 
default value to none or other one.

hi Seleuco!
sorry for the delay.

I do many tests trying to get a clue about what happening.
1- i unmap ALL buttons from ALL gamepads, but the problem persist.
2- i test using Tincore Keymapper to map the analogs and disabling them from 
the program. Only let the D-PAD enabled. Mame can map correctly DPAD (and 
nothing more, because i disabled all other inputs) but the problem persist. (i 
do the same test disabling analogs on mame)
3- I enabled "show touches" to check if there is any ghost touch, but there is 
nothing. the problem persist.
4- I enable "show pointer location" to check if there is any ghost pointer 
(mouse) that is generating some input. Then go to Mame, do a swipe on screen to 
stablish a Last pointer location visible (if there is any other pointer 
location, my swipe will disappear), but the problem persist (and there is no 
pointer location changes)
5- Opened Keytest app to check if there is any ghost key that is spreading to 
the system, but i don´t see anything.

I don´t know how to do more testing. If you need more specific testing, let me 
know.

Take note, this device don´t have a real joystick driver. The analogs are 
handled by a private driver. May be Mame is reading something on the system, 
and this is the same value that system is using for analogs? (sorry, i don´t 
know how to determine this. is only a suggestion/question)

As I was thinking your bug is related to jelly bean lights out mode. Probably 
Imuch is having issues hiding the navigation bar and is related to inacurate 
event delivery.

To clarify, light out mode is implemented on gl view. Sw view is as simple as 
possible to be as compatible as possible.

I have GDM Testure App, that there is an option to hide Status bar

With this status bar hidden, start Mame and i can play without issues.

Then, you right. the problem is related to light out mode (i understand this 
mode is no status bars or similar, to get full screen for an app)

let me know if you need more testings.

Really the problem is on the Imuch side, as it is working on nvidia shield 
(which dont have navigation bar also) and nexus 7. Without proper testing I 
can't develop a workaround. Anyway sw render runs pretty fast if not is enabled 
filtering.

or using any app that hide the bars (GDM Gestures or Full!Screen) before 
launching the app may help.
