Configure extra controls
Serpent:
With MAME, is it possible to configure keys for directly turning gamma or volume up and down? How?

I'm not sure about this. I was reading through /src/cheat.c and it looks like you could assign a cheat to a hotkey (probably in the cheat.dat file.). Since gamma and volume are on the tilde menu, I don't know if you could use the cheat engine to adjust this or not.
BTW, I'm pretty sure you can adjust gamma up or down, and maybe volume through gamename.ini files, if you just wanted game x to use a different value than the default each time.

what about these .ini files? i know that tnmt has low volume, as do some other games. i was told that i needed to access the service menu in the game (not mame, but the actual game itself by holding down F2). well i went into this menu but tmnt doesnt have a volume control meter or value in this menu. so is it possible to edit a file for certain games that have low volume on them? i mean, its not a lot of them, and this would solve my volume issue.
Howard_Casto:
correct.... by default mame's sound system is at full volume (as it should be)
you use service menus for games with low volume.
You only have to do it once though.
hulkster:
but not all games have the volume control right?
