TONBOX777 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hello, I have problem with Retroarch MAME 2014, the core does not save the buttons mapping. I try to mapping the buttons from MAME's config menu by pressing TAB in the game and the remapping it but seem the buttons mapping is gone, not saving everytime I exit Retroarch. Any solution to fix this? thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONBOX777 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 ok I found the solution, It's kinda strange and funny one. Previously I only try to config the buttons for "Street Fighter II Champion Edition" only and no matter how I try, the buttons mapping are still not be saved. BTW The solution I found is just load up none CPS game and then Retroarch will automatic created folder and CFG file of MAME for you. (in this case I load up the "Alien Strom" and it works!) ps. after the folder and CFG of MAME were created, now all games can save the buttons config normally.

Zombeaver Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 @TONBOX777 Can you elaborate a bit more on what you did? I've had this problem as well and would be interested in a solution. My default mappings for MAME in Retroarch work for most games but in the instances where there's something weird that has to be changed I've been using MAMEUI because I ran into the problem you're describing where any changes made via the MAME Tab menu don't actually save in the Retroarch core. The FBA core is nice because it has per-game remapping that you can do in the core options (which I have gotten to work), but the MAME core doesn't have that feature. FBA has it's own set of issues though, such as occasional sound problems and just overall smaller compatibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONBOX777 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi, for more details. I'm using RetroArch nighty [2015-11-30-11:36] and MAME 2014 core. Like I stated before, I just load the game that's not CPS game. that game is Alien Storm (astorm.zip) I don't know why this game make thing works but I'm sure, I only use that game for testing. btw after load Alien Storm(astorm.zip) and do some settings in tap memu, RetroArch wll automaticly created the folder named "mame2014" in my roms folder and in mame2014 folder also contain cfg and nvram folder too. and in cfg folder the default.CFG (for mame) and mame's games CFG are stored here and have been using by RetroAch for loading Mame's settings. The weird thing is no matter how i try to change the dir for storing Mame's CFG files to specific location. (by using RetroArch's dir setting) but everytime I use MAME 2014 core. after that it will keep to reverted back the settings to "[content Dir]" so I just ignored it. ps. you have to try to load "Alien Storm" and do some settings in tap menu then quit game and go check your roms folder(which you load astorm.zip from) and lets see that RetroArch will create CFG folder for you or not. hope this help and sorry for my Eng.

Zombeaver Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 That didn't work for me at all. I'm using the Mame Git core in Retroarch, although I tried Mame 2014 as well. Neither are saving anything that's changed in the tab menu. Nothing is creating/saving cfg files anywhere - not in the retroarch folder/subfolders nor in the folder where I have my actual roms.

TONBOX777 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Have you tried to set the System/Bios save to [Content Dir] yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 No? How do I do that? Is that a line in one of the config files? If so, which one, and what line? I appreciate the help by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONBOX777 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 It's RetroArch's Directoty configuration. I think because of this setting it force MAME to created the CFG folder in my roms folder(which called "Content Dir") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Mine was set to my Retroarch system folder. There wasn't a MAME folder in there, so I did some reading and evidently there's a bug that sometimes causes it not to be created, so I created one, then a sub folder named "cfg" and then created a blank file that was named "default.cfg" and that seems to have done the trick. Changes made via the tab menu are now being saved! ...then I had to deal with a weird issue where it kept wanting to pull up the tab menu when I hit the left trigger on my controller. I think I've got it all sorted out now, but apparently that's been a known issue for some time now. Anyway, thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
