alnyden Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I have a question about setting controls with MAME for Apple II (and possibly other platforms). When I use MAME for Arcade, I hit TAB and set the controls, it always saves them. However, when using MAME for Apple II, when I go TAB - THIS MACHINE and setup the joystick, at some point I've noticed the controls are reset (not saved) and have to re-enter the joystick controls. Anyone else have this issue? I assume it's some issue with using MAME for different platforms. Thanks! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Press the "Scroll Lock" key first then you can press "Tab" to bring up the menu. Because the system being emulated is a computer with a keyboard the Tab will function in the emulator like a regular keyboard for that system. Scroll Lock toggles between the 2 keyboard functionalities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnyden Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Thanks for the reply Lordmunkus, I'm already aware of this though. I'm hitting Scroll Lock, then TAB - THIS MACHINE and setting the joystick. The issue is at some point (possibly after restarting the computer?) the joystick controls I set are no longer there. (Not saving). Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Ahh, sorry I misread your original post, takes my brain a few hours to fully wake up Weird that it is not saving your controls, it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I suppose you could try setting the config file for it to read-only to see if that locks it. It should be the \cfg\ folder of your Mame install folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
