It's my first time with a U360, I'm using it in analog mode on a Sinistar panel.
The problem I'm having is that the default.cfg file with the default key allocations keep going blank. It happens when I put joycode codes like below into it
<port type="P1_BUTTON1">
<newseq type="standard">
KEYCODE_ENTER OR JOYCODE_1_BUTTON5
</newseq>
</port>
And it goes blank after playing 2 non-analog games WITHOUT the U360 plugged in. Eg I play Pengo and Qix and then when I go back to Pengo the keys have all reset to default (Ctrl,ALT, etc)
Anyone seen or heard of this problem before?
Any ideas ?
It's MAME 0171.
I'm working on segregating the analog games into a separate MAME folder so they don't interfere with the main games. But I expect to have the same problems there if the games are run without the U360 being plugged in.

It's normal. If you unplug your joystick or controller, the MAME settings attached to it will vanish - and they won't come back.
The usual solution is to make your changes, exit MAME, then make default.cfg read-only.

Thanks. It's strange that I didn't know this was a thing, maybe I read it years ago and then forgot because it never cropped up on my system.

Mamedevs like to mess with us from time to time. You get used to it.
