Title: I did it AGAIN!!! Deleted the "select" in the MAME UI
Post by: ediblegod on April 07, 2012, 09:51:03 pm

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? :banghead:

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.

 :lol

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]

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

Code: [Select]

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