    Hey there. I’m admit that I’m not terribly experienced with coding. That said, I am having the issue describes here (tab controller settings don’t save in mame4all). I’ve figured out enough to be able to look and see that indeed I don’t have a CFG file in my configs for mame4all. Is there a line of code I could type to create one? Any help is most appreciated!

    I could use a little extra help with the original issue in this thread. I can not get controller settings that I create (using tab to adjust in-game). Though I am a total n00b at this stuff, I have figured out enough to get myself out to the prompt, look through directories etc, and of course I’ve tried inputting BOTH of the lines of code suggested above. (Such as: sudo chmod -R 777 mame4all-pi) They do seem to “take” when I do this, meaning, I don’t get an error when I input them and hit enter. But when I reboot and go to Mame, I still have the same issue. I can configure my controller within Mame and that works fine, but as soon as I exit out of the game, those settings are gone. I’m baffled and frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I just want to be able to insert coins and start up a game without having to plug in a USB keyboard every time!)
