Title: Mame not holding keys in Lazarus?
Post by: Demon-Seed on August 13, 2002, 01:31:41 pm

Hi,
Just having a problem with mame and keys....when I play mame I hit TAB and set the keys to my Control Panel buttons..it works fine..I exit mame back the the FE Lazarus and then go back into MAME and the keys are no longer set? Why would this be occuring?

Thanks
Jim

What happens if you don't use lazarus, just use commandline?

Most likely you have something wierd setup for mame.  Personally, I have mame use a controller profile and I tell lazarus to launch it with mame.  thus when I launch mame alone I have diferent key settings.  


Are you talking about lazarus's key setup?   They have nothing to do with each other.  Also generally a person sets the keys and then exits.  Although it should, in theory, save your settings for you, it might not if you do a whole lot of stuff, (like change skins, font-size, or anything that reboots the display) before you exit.

I'm goint to make a guess..

to start off with... It is also messed up running from the command line right?

Then you will probably find that the default.cfg file is set to readonly (copy it in from a cd?)  (attrib -r default.cfg)

if that doesn't do it... delete the file and start over.
