ANNOYING bottom of screen settings! how can I disable it!

Saint_Jimmy

I have a problem that I can't seem to find the solution to anywhere I could be just playing any arcade game in my arcade folder on my RPi 2 B(only on MAME2003 not fba, etc. am I having this problem) but all of a sudden this ugly black and white settings bar comes out of nowhere an complete wrecks my game and worst of all I have NO IDEA HOW TO GET RID/DISABLE IT! If any of you could help me I would really appreciate it.

@saint_jimmy Is this the b&w settings you're talking about:

This is the RetroArch settings, which pop-up when you press Select + X. You can use the 'Resume' menu entry to get back to your game.

@mitu I see what your thinking of but I'm talking about a small black and white box on the bottom of my screen that says stuff like gamma and left side volume that changes settings when you press down.

@saint_jimmy Could you post a screenshot ? Could be something related to Mame2003 - so please give more details about our system : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

What type of controller are you using? Most of those black bar things are controlled by keyboard keys in mame. If your controller is emulating a keyboard, you might be triggering some of those settings.

@mitu Here is a video

@saint_jimmy it looks your "down" input is mapped to cycling through those Mame settings.

If you press "tab" and enter the Mame menu you can check which setting "down" is mapped to and disable it.

@saint_jimmy It looks like a button has been mapped to bring up the lr-mame2003 On Screen Display and pressing a directional button is cycling through the options.

A safe way of fixing this is to delete the global input file, default.cfg. Its location will depend on where you have placed your arcade roms. More info, please refer to: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/lr-mame2003/#mame-menu

ive done this befor by accident its an easy fix though just clear your cfg dir on mame to restore the defaults

im assuming youll be using lrmame2003
rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/mame2003/cfg/*

jimmy i think that was meant for thread but do this

sudo pico /boot/cmdline.txt

add this to the end (make sure you make a space from the last letter)

usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x40

press ctrl+x to save and exit

you will need to reboot as well

sudo shutdown -r now
