Title: MAME Individual game slider settings not saving.
Post by: langlem on April 14, 2016, 09:14:04 pm

Hello all.

Can someone please remind me of the config settings that allow my individual game settings to save. (Slider and tab settings). I can not seem to remember how.  Sure it is very simple.

For example, I go into Pac Man set up brightness, gamma, horizontal position, bezels, etc... Play game, exit...re enter game and it reverts back to original settings.

I am in mame 169.  I notice that nothing changes in the particular game cfg files as well. They remain original to when I set this up in December or whenever.

I checked to make sure they are not read only...thinking that may be it.  Its not.  Pretty sure its in the mame ini.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

There's no way to accomplish what you want.

Best way is to manually write down what you've changed then make a pacman.ini with those changes inserted into thye ini file. Chuck pacman.ini into the ini folder.

OK...thats straightforward enough.

Does anyone know where to make the adjustment to "horizontal stretch" and "horizontal position?" In the ini file?

Thx again.
