No TAB key (or any input) in AdvMAME
  • I have a problem with AdvMAME in PiMame where pressing the TAB key does nothing, pressing ESC does not quit either and I have to CTRL+C to get out. I have googled and searched everywhere to find a fix, but nothing. Also there is no response from the joystick. All other emulators work fine.
  • I have exactly the same issue. Tried with two different keyboards, they work fine with the OS or other emulators. Tried remapping the UI key in /home/pi/.advance/advmame.rc to tab key (was set to auto by default) as i read on http://advancemame.sourceforge.net/doc-advmame.html#8.9.6 but didn't work.

    Advmame is totally unplayable, reached this point, even if you have a joystick, you can't insert coin or press player buttons. Mame4all works fine, but it only loads 1/8 of my roms, it looks like the others aren't compatible.
  • i've been able to reproduce this on my lapdock. looking into it now.
  • I am having the same issue. Has there been any progress?
  • can you post a copy of your advmame.rc? I had this problem when there was a duplicate entry in the file.
