Mame in the mood for dancing

I have an issue with mame.  I went to reconfigure some of my controls,  and now I can't get into the menu by pressing tab.  How do I reset the mame settings?  I can't seem to find where the config files are located.  You can tell I'm a windows user!

If you want to reset all of the keys, delete c:\yourmamedirectory\cfg\default.cfg

Or open that file with notepad and see which key you set for UI_CONFIGURE (Right Shift + F4 in the example below,) run MAME, use that key to open the menu up, and reset it (clear it twice using whatever key you have set for UI_CANCEL)

You could also delete just the port entry for UI_CONFIGURE from that file


--- Code: ---            <port type="UI_CONFIGURE">
                <newseq type="standard">
                    KEYCODE_RSHIFT KEYCODE_F4
                </newseq>
            </port>

--- End code ---

Edit: Misunderstood "I'm a windows user" to mean "I'm a windows user" instead of "I'm usually a windows user". My fault for not catching which board I was responding in. The info is valid, but it doesn't answer the OP question.

I did mention that i'm using retropie, which has a linux file directory structure.  I don't know where the default.cfg file is!  I've had a look around and can find folders within the config folder for each emulator, there are no default.cfg files within those folders though, only emulator.cfg and retroarch.cfg so I think i'm looking in the wrong place.  cheers for your help. ;)

Just reflash your SD card and keep swearing at the Pi.

Oh god no!  I'm not reflashing it.  It's taken me months to get this far!!  I mean it's not THAT much of a big deal, since I can still play games.  I must have configured my controls fairly decently before I ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- it up! lol  The buttons all do what they are supposed to.
