Title: Tab key not working in MAME
Post by: danp on May 16, 2008, 08:07:34 pm
For some reason the TAB key is not bringing up my rom settings anymore, I've tried every key on the keyboard--anybody have any idea how to bring that back up to reprogram TAB is the settings key?

Delete the default.cfg file in your CFG subdirectory.

Once I do that do I just reprogram all the controls?

What have you done differently?  Did you upgrade to a newer version of MAME?

Try to find the following in your cfg:

<port type="UI_CONFIGURE">

And add :

<defseq type="standard">KEYCODE_TAB</defseq>

Should work then :)

It hasnt happened to me in a long while, but I believe all the controls in each game will function the same as before the TAB worked.

You'll have to redo all the remaps you did with "Input (general)", but not the game specific ones.


Or

Or just delete three lines:
<port type="UI_CONFIGURE">
<defseq type="standard">....</defseq>
</port>

and mame will return to UI_configure to the tab default.
