| Mame not saving key mappings... |

Anybody run into this issue before? I am running an older version (v75) of mame in XP and for the life of me I cannot get the pause button to stay remapped to a different key. It will work while I stay in the game but as soon as I exit and re-start it "defaults" back to the "P" button again. I thought maybe it had something to do with the folders being read only but it saves high scores perfectly fine, so its allowing those files to be re-written. When I try to change the Mame folder and un-set read only, it goes thru the whole process of changing itself and the files within, but when I check it's properties as soon as it's finished it still has the "read only" box checked. Very strange. There should be an easy fix for this. Where does Mame save the changes to key mappings? Isn't it an .ini file somewhere? |

Why wouldn anyone use such an old version of mame? |

If you have an active controller file that your using, and it defines the pause button, it'll override what you define in the config ui, so even though you save it, when you go back and view it the value from the controller file will still be there. Other than that, it could just be an issue with the older mame. |

Using MicroXP and not mentioning it is another one that gets me. |

I went into the ctrlr folder in mame and changed the std.ini file to the keystroke that I wanted but that didn't do it either. Do you know where Mame stores the keystroke changes? Is it an .ini file somewhere? --- Quote from: Endprodukt on July 23, 2013, 05:31:48 pm ---Why wouldn anyone use such an old version of mame? --- End quote --- Because thats what I have and it runs the games perfectly on the older computer I'm using. Nothing has come out since then that worth a crap IMO anyways. |
