Can we map keys like [TAB] to a combination of buttons on Mame?
  • Hello,

    I'm using another project on RaspberryPI and I found that doesn't not fit my requirements and I found this one that looks like yes!

    I build my own arcade console with 6 buttons + InsertCoin + Player1 Select

    I want two things:
    1º Question
    Can I map the TAB key to any combination of the buttons?
    I would like to map the combination "InsertCoin" + "Button X" in order to show show in Mame in in game menu. Is this possible?

    2º Question
    It's is annoying that the In-game-settings like the button configuration aren't save in the "other project". If I set an In-Game-Settings that will be persist?
    Right now every time that I want to play a game I have to setup the buttons due the fact the configuration is not persist!!

    The video that I saw was this

    but don't explain (and I didn't find anything on PiPlay webSite) how to configure In-Game-Menu (around 8m vide).


    I hope this project can set my needs
    tkx to all

  • 1. Yes in Mame get the config menu up by pressing TAB. Under general setting find the "Main Menu". press delete to delete the binding, then press enter and after that your key combo.

    2. I can't help you there as I am only using Mame for my cap

    I see you like Soloman's key. It's one of my all time farvor as well.

Howdy, Stranger!
