I did it AGAIN!!! Deleted the "select" in the MAME UI

[ediblegod]

Aaahhhh!!!!

Ok now that I got that out...
Haven't been on here for awhile. Actually decided to dust off and revamp my arcade after being down for about 4 years.
Was redoing the MAME config with my new game hack when, sure enough, I pressed the wrong button and deleted that damn select button in MAME.

Now I can't change anything!

I know I have done this before, and I did fix it, but it was so long ago I don't remember what I did.
I tried installing the newest MAMEUI (was using MAME32 .116 last) yet the enter button still doesn't work in the config.

Please, does anyone know what I can do to get out of this bonehead rut?

you can edit the config file (mame.ini) or just delete the files under the MAME FOLDEr (don't delete the ROM folder) then re-install. That should do it.

Been there, done that.  Just remove "default.cfg" from mame->cfg folder, or if it was just "This game controls", the romname.cfg file from the same folder.

 

On second thought, just open it with Notepad and find the offensive section, and change/delete it.  That way you don't loose ALL the other button changes you've made.

Code: [Select]

                <newseq type="standard">
                    NONE
                </newseq>
            </port>
into

Code: [Select]

            <port type="UI_SELECT">
                <newseq type="standard">
                    KEYCODE_ENTER OR KEYCODE_LCONTROL
                </newseq>
            </port>
