Title: Tab not working!
Post by: Franco on February 22, 2005, 07:22:49 am

I know this sounds like a stupid question (probably because it is!)

Im using Mame32 and for some reason when I press tab to bring up the settings menu whilst playing a game, nothing happens! Any ideas what I may have done to cause this?

Thanks

More than likely, your TAB key for entering the config menu got
changed to some other key....

I've run into this a few times when kids messed around
with all of my buttons on my control panel... its not a pretty thing.

I now use a certain 'combination' of buttons to get to the config
menu....

Im sure there is an easier solution, but I ended up wiping
out the .cfg file that stored the button settings and re-set
the buttons up from scratch....

Thanks, I figured it may have been something like that! Only thing is I havent got any kids to blame it on!

How do you set up a combination of keys to access the menu if u dont mind??

Thanks

And yes, you can remap it to more than one key.  When you are where you can remap that particular control, press the two buttons you want as that control at the same time.

Thanks for your help! I feel stupid for not checking the FAQ first. For a start I thought no-one else would have had a problem like it but know i guess that every problem that has been had, at least ten other people have had it previously!

Thanks again!!

Search and FAQ are your friend. Google aint half bad either.
