Cannot Access Mame Menu

MAME2003 Emulator
My Mame setup was working great until I was visited today by some younger relatives, I was watching from a distance as one was spamming the cab button to access the service menu, I could see the menu popping up and the other kid pushing buttons to remove it. I guess a setting was changed during this process as neither my assigned key or tab is working.
I looked over this forum and can see the advice is to delete default.cfg from within the roms/mame2003 folder although deleting this has not fixed the issue.
Anything else I can try?

I bet you could resolve this by checking the config file for any reference to that mapped key.
Here:
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/cfg
or perhaps here:
If you are using arcade, it should be in (mine is):
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg/Got this info from a post here: (post by Floob)

My cfg files are located in roms/mamelibretro/mame2003/cfg.
I cannot view any of the files contents, it loads up a page of gobbledygook, including the default.cfg file.
From what I gather, deleting the default.cfg file from this location should return the mame menu key back to tab although in my case it doesn't... very confused :/

I just uninstalled rt-mame2003 and then reinstalled from source as I thought this would set everything back to normal although tab is still not working.

default.cfg? Also, if you could fill out the information requested at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first it would help us help you better. -

I can't explain this although turned the machine on this morning and tab now works!! Maybe physically powering the machine down overnight helped in some way, who knows!!

@baviaannl Maybe the youngster came back and re-mapped the buttons by mistake :).
