Mame control input reset to standard

[noobaphile]

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me, I have made a mess of my controller input settings in mame(accessed using Tab) is there a way to reset them to original ??
Thanks

Which version of RetroPie are you running?

Hi Floob. Its 2.4.1 i beleive, when i was configuring inputs , by accident i wiped the button for select, so now i cant select anything to rectify it. I know im an idiot, thanks for the quick reply Floob.

I guess you could try deleting (or just rename it):
/opt/retropie/configs/mame4all/cfg/default.cfg

I’ve attached my copy (you need to rename it to .cfg).

Thanks Floob, I was hoping there was an easier way

Hi Floob, Im using a windows based pc, should this txt file look like jibberish on my pc ?. if i navigate to this file using ssh, can i just delete then replace with your copy, I dont want to have to go through reflashing an image of retropie and tranfering all my roms. Thanks agian Floob.

Yes, it should look jibberish as its not a text file. But please backup yours in case there is an issue.
I’m not sure of the approved clean way of resetting the config besides this sort of approach (or rebuild the image/emulator)

Hi Floob. sry i have taken so long to reply, i transfered all my roms using usb so this was my first time using filezilla to view the directories. I cant seem to find this location that i need to alter the default.cfg. I have attached a pic of my directories, could you point me in the right direction, Once again thanks, your help is really apreciatted!

Never mind I found it, but now none of my Mame roms start after editing this file

I think I’ll go down the fresh image route, I have multiple duplicate roms, so this time I will take my time and do it right, Thanks Floob, I’m going to follow your video for configuring Mame controls. Your a gentleman if your ever in Glasgow I’ll buy you a pint.

Sorry it didnt work – I’ll see if I can get it to work on my setup.
But yes, updating to the latest image would be a good idea to get the latest benefits.

I’ll look out for you here:
