TAB no longer works!?

[Brax]

I have no idea what I did. I suspect I erased the TAB function in the setup screen by accident. Is there anyway to get into this screen now?
sheesh.

You need to go into the ctrlr directory in mame folder.  There is a file called std.ini.  Underneath the chat the first line should be

UI_CONFIGURE            "KEYCODE_TAB"

For your case it probably is something different.  This happened to me before but only for a single game and not all.  If it happens to all games then you need to make sure that line is in the file.  If it's only for one game then go into the cfg folder and delete the config file for that game - this resets back to standard inputs.

Hope this works for you

you can try deleting those config files in the cfg directory.... I think its default.cfg or something like that... but then you basically have to re-map.....

or you can wait a while and see if anyone else has a better solution....

Exactly..delete the default .CFG file and when you restart your frontend next time there should be a new default .CFG file.
