Accidental Controller Remap

[juggle50]

Shoot. I was in Mame remapping some user interface controls and accidentally remapped "ui start" to nothing (used to be enter). So now I can't get into any ui selections after pressing tab.

Can someone help me out with what I have to do? I did this a long time ago and had to delete a file but can't remember what that was. I'm using mame 114 with mala. 

Thank you!

In the mame folder, delete the MAME configuration file.  Then relaunch mame, it will be fresh settings.  You will have to remap everything.

i think you can change it in your default.cfg file.  If that doesn't work backup your default.cfg file, then delete default.cfg from the directory, then try to open mame and see if you can use your enter key.

Isn't it amazing that mame still lets you do that after all these years?

That would be considered a major bug in store bought software.

^This -- of you open the default.cfg in notepad (it is located in your cfg folder) and look for the following and change to what is shown and save it will change the default back to the enter key :

<system name="default">
        <input>
            <port type="UI_SELECT">
                <newseq type="standard">
                    KEYCODE_ENTER
                </newseq>

Or if you do not have many other things set differently from the default just rename or delete the file and launch the game and it will create a new one with all default settings.

Also agree with Paige - it shouldn't let you set that as NONE !! (though now that I think about it -- it would keep people from playing with your settings once you have everything setup by not allowing anyone access )

Guys thank you so much!!!   As usual, BYOAC came through for me.  Thanks so much, just adjusted the default.cfg file and all was good.  Thanks again.

Somehow I get the idea that you could submit a bug fix for that to mamedev and it would be rejected for the same reasons that have kept joystick and mouse input turned off by default since the 1990s.
