Tab Screen: FE or Mame cfg problem
« on: October 25, 2005, 11:54:44 am »
I'm using GameLauncher & Mame v.95

The options I've been using is -debug -cheat.
Which one will allow me to use the "TAB" cfg to adjust settings?

It was working when I first started to set it up but now I'm unable to get the cfg screen up.

Before someone yells RTFM...
I tried the FAQ from Mame.net but no go.


H04. I did something wrong, and can't enter the menu with Tab any more. 

Most likely you have re-configured the normal menu key, Tab to something else. To restore the default settings, you'll have to delete default.cfg in the CFG subdirectory below the main MAME directory.
Since the input configuration files are XML now, if you have settings you don't want to lose, you can also try to edit default.cfg with any text editor. Find the line that says <port type="UI_CONFIGURE"> and delete the adjacent <newseq... line, leaving only the <defseg... line within the <port> tag.

Well, first thing to do is rule out your FE. If you launch a game from mame at the command prompt does the TAB key work? If so, the it must be something to do with your FE key mappings. If not, follow the directions to "reset" the default mame controls.
