tab button!

[kdawg]

my tab button will no longer work. I mean the button itself is fine, but i can not load my cheats anymore. What do I do?

Can you still get the Mame options by pressing TAB?

I don't know if this would help but you could try looking in the ctrlr folder for the Windows config notepad and check to see if it looks like this:

Code: Select all

# Windows custom input configuration file

UI_CONFIGURE            "KEYCODE_TAB ! KEYCODE_LALT ! KEYCODE_RALT"

# OSD Input 1 is defined as "Toggle fullscreen"
OSD_1                   "KEYCODE_LALT KEYCODE_ENTER"

You may want to notice this: UI_CONFIGURE "KEYCODE_TAB...

If I'm wrong then maybe someone that knows can help you better.

everything is fine on that end.

(I should've looked here before) but what about the 'std' notepad? That too has the UI_Configure...... "Keycode_Tab" in it too. Maybe you knew about that. But if that's not it then are you using...

C:\Mame\mame [name of game] -c Stupid Question - I know. I can't think of anything else to ask right now.

Now if it's for Mame32 then I can't help you here 'cause I've never used that before.

edit: The only thing I could suggest (if everything else seems in order) is to re-DownLoad the Cheat.dat. Perhaps something got messed up in the one you have now.

Just delete your cfg/default.cfg and all will be well

[kdawg]

how do I do that?

Find the "cfg" folder in your MAME dir, delete the "default.cfg" file in it..
