I love Raiden but I don't love mashing the fire button. At my age, I'm worried I'll get some version of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Anyway, I couldn't find the MAME chaeats file for my version (0.215) so I downloaded the latest. I was hoping to use a turbo button cheat to avoid repeatedly pressing the fire button. But the cheats don't work for any game. I'm pretty sure I followed all the instructions like editing the .ini file and downloading .7z file to the proper folder. Any suggestions?

I'm hoping there is some hook where I can add a script that runs whenever a user chooses a platform. I have MAME and Windows games. My windows games are imported from Steam and Microsoft Store. I have an Ultimarc ultimate io encoder. It load a different config through a command line parameter. I have on config for keyboard and another for xbox gamepad. From the posts I researched, I could replace my MAM emulator exe with an ahk script and for each windows game wrap the exe in a script. I'm hoping there is a better solution.

OK, thanks! I'll give it a try.

So I play both MAME and Steam games on Big Box. I'm using Ultimarc Ultimate I/O encoder. I have to hold down two buttons to switch from keyboard emulation to controller emulation. It's a pain switching. Can I navigate Big Box and play all my MAME games in controller mode? That would eliminate the need to switch back and forth? If so how do I do that. I already check the recognize controller option and that doesn't work.

Update: It seems for some reason mame was saving ini files for each games in the mame root directory. When I edit those my settings stick. But now I'm confused because it's contrary to the docs.

OK, I think I answered my own question. In the documentation. Here it explains the ini file load order. https://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/multiconfig.html I'm in win10 so I ran the below command to find metal slug sources and most of them are named neogeo.cpp so creating a source/neogeo.ini file is what's needed. .\mame64.exe -listsource | Select-String -Pattern "slug" So I tried this for nba jam and it didn't work!

Thanks. I have an ini/preset and ini/examples no source. Also, why the name neogeo.ini ? I thought the names have to match the rom names? Is there a way to configure individual games? Is neogeo.ini a key name?

Can I use those settings only for neogeo games?

I have a similar question. I change the cubic and quadratic curvature settings but they don't save. How can I setup separate settings for each game? (Also, a side question: How do I get bezels to work. I downloaded a bezel put it in my artwork folder but nothing in game. I'm using BigBox.
