      Hello,

      I am using RetroPie 3.7 on a RPi 3. The controllers(Dualshock 3) are functioning correctly and I can map all the buttons within AdvanceMAME. My problem is that once I exit a game the configs are not saved.
      I have tried both emulators available in AdvanceMAME ( advmame 1.4 and advmame 0.94.0) but neither of them makes any difference. I have tried searching on the forums and Google but without any success.
      Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

          Same here. I can manually edit advmame-0.94.0.rc to get the controls to save but would prefer to have configuration settings saved automatically. Any advice?

            I had the same issue (4.1.18).
            I changed the permissions on advmame-0.94.0.rc file to allow write for "others" and now it saves the changes in config. Similar for advmame 1.4.
