So I’m using mame .78, on retroarch, being run by RetroPie. Basically I, changed my input on the “Input (This Game)” tab, and I need to reverse those games back to using the “Input (General)” tab. There are some games that I need to keep using the this game tab, mainly the 4 way joystick games. What is the best way to revert all those games back to using the general tab, while keeping some?
Thanks in advance, Parker
Hi,
0.78 was released way back in 2003, now nearly 20 years ago.
If you are looking for active support, you may want to consider a more recent and official MAME version, like the 0.245 version which was just released on the official website [1].
Having said that, for all custom configurations for a specific game you get a game specific *.cfg file in the cfg directory. So for example for pacman, you will get a 'cfg/pacman.cfg' file, which contains all the machine specific settings that you have made for pacman. Removing that file will undo all of the machine specific settings you have made for pacman, and revert them to the 'general' settings. Please note that this will revert all game/machine specific settings you may have made back to the defaults - like for example dip switch settings - and not just the input. In order to be able to undo things if they go wrong, you should make copies/backups of these files before you delete any of them so you can go back to the old situation if you should desire to do so.
