        Excuse me for being the noob, but it's the std install for retropie on the raspberry pi

        I haven't modified anything except for the drivers to setup the joysticks

                Start a MAME game and when you see the runcommand dialog, look carefully at the first line. It shows the emulator that you are running.
                Look at the image below and notice that it is starting the advmame.
                runcommand

                  i just found that, don't know how I ever missed it.

                  its using the lr-mame4all.

                  I reset the file:
                  /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

                  the keyboard works on the legal statement(which is another thing which never used to come up) yet the joysticks don't.

                  When I update the line:
                  TO: joypad_autoconfig_dir = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/"
                  FROM: joypad_autoconfig_dir = "~/.config/retroarch/autoconfig"

                  the joysticks work and the keyboard doesn't.

                  Not sure if I am even looking in the right area.....

                      I reset the file:
                      /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

                      What do you mean with "reset the file"? I'm afraid you are messing the wrong file. This is the global config file!

                      I would suggest you to look if you have this file:
                      /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist

                      This file has the "factory settings" for global configs. If you want to restore it, you should do:

                      cp /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
                      

                      And if you want to restore the factory settings for lr-mame4all, you should do:

                      cp /opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/retroarch.cfg
                      

                      I hope it helps...

                        Nope. That didn't work

                        Do you happen to know the code to specify the tab key for the RGUI?

                          @gmoolena You will know the version because you had to drop your roms in the folder labelled as that version.

                            Man, it's getting harder to help you. :-)

                            You need to give more info about what went wrong. Example:
                            "It didn't work. The command you suggested gave me this message:
                            Error: Unable to blableblibloblu.
                            Then I tried to bleblabli and received a command not found message."

                              sorry, normally I just read the forums for the fixes I am looking for. All the fixes I found for this problem is relating to a DFAULT.CFG file which no longer exists.

                              I tried copying the files listed above and the TAB key in the MAME game is still not working.

                              I would hazard a guess to say there should be a config parameter in one of the files which specifies which key in game will bring up the RGUI menu.

                              I think I will have to just bite the bullet and perform a rebuild of the unit :-(

                              Who would have thought a 3YO bashing the buttons could have damaged the program.....

                              Thanks for you help.

                                Wait...

                                I suggested to developers to implement an option to restore factory settings and received this answer:

                                BuZz said in [feature request] "Restore factory settings" option:

                                You can uninstall and re-install retropie from retropie-setup.

                                Maybe you don't need to reinstall all the packages, but only the lr-mame4all.

                                  the MAME tab menu is not the RGUI. the RGUI is a separate retroarch menu brought up by select + X. minor point but just to mention :) i would still guess that your issue would be resolved by deleting the relevant default.cfg - i would do a system-wide search for it. there are few in a few different places, for the different MAME emulators.

                                  PS, to avoid this happening I'm going to remove the default controller binding for the MAME menu (R2). it doesn't seem to be a useful default! i would like to give it a unique combo, but that's harder to code :)

                                    Thanks guys.

                                    Trying to do an inplace upgrade as we speak. Might take a while over wifi.

                                    Will let you know soon how it goes

                                        Will you be adding another joystick button as the default for R2? I can't get into the Config Menu (TAB) at all. I just removed /opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/retroarch.cfg and this new retroarch.cfg was created on first run of a game with lr-imame4all. I can't find the Config Menu (Tab option) in the settings? Nothing seems to work from "coin in" to "player 1 start" on my joystick anymore. The keyboard defaults are fine though. Is there a setting to bind the joystick or should it use the configured joystick by default? My previous config was like 1K this guy is 48K!

                                          @dankcushions said in Keyboard TAB key not working in MAME/Retroepie:

                                          to avoid this happening I'm going to remove the default controller binding for the MAME menu (R2). it doesn't seem to be a useful default! i would like to give it a unique combo, but that's harder to code :)

                                          Sorry Dank you can disregard my previous post. I was thinking retroarch.cfg and not default.cfg. My only question is how do you get into the Config Menu (Tab Key). When I flip over to mame4all-pi it's fine but when I am in lr-imame4all I can't get it to work. Is anyone using lr-imame4all able to get to the Config Menu?
