Title: MAME board settings interfering with gameplay
Post by: eezeetee on June 18, 2021, 08:48:50 pm

Something has gotten messed up with my MAME setup. For some reason the arcade stick seems to now adjust the setting of MAME, so when playing there is a line at the bottom of the screen for master volume, screen width, horizontal adjust, etc.

Any idea how I can turn this off or what button it may be?

Note: This is for MAME .230 . I couldn't find the right area here to post, so chose Groovy Mame

You've triggered the On Screen Display.
- Press the ` key (unshifted ~ key, upper left on your keyboard) to turn it on/off. (default setting)
- It's just above the TAB key, so you probably fat-fingered it when opening/closing the MAME menu system.

If not and you've accidently changed the default key, open the MAME menu system and go to the Input General menu.
- On Screen Display is the first entry.

Moved to Main since this isn't related to GroovyMAME.   ;D
