can't access MAME 2003+ (libretro) in-game menu
-
the default menu button is l3 (left analog button) when you press it down. By default mame2003-plus is set to retropad for the input interface. If you want to be able to use the keyboard and retropad at teh same time. change input_interface to sim and the tab key will work

Update: I've discovered that sometimes the Y button on my gamepad will pull up the config menu. When I do so, it looks like this:
Which I find strange. For one thing, TAB doesn't work. As for why the Y button opens the menu, I found this... here is my RetroArch mappings for the gamepad:
And indeed, Y and L3 are both mapped to the same button. So now I have the issue of I don't know how to delete the mapping for L3. If I go to map it and wait for the timer to expire, it does not delete the mapping. If I use "Bind All" and let the timer expire on L2, R2, L3, R3, RetroArch still maps them all to button 3.

Thanks for your response. I just discovered the L3 setting is indeed there, so that makes sense. But when I go to change input_interface to sim, the tab key still isn't doing anything.

@skrilmps I never checked the rest of your settings to be honest but what you need is legacy mapping enabled and input interface set sim. (save the options file)
-
@grant2258 My .opt file doesn't have a legacy mapping setting, so I added the following line to the .opt file:
mame2003-plus_legacy_mapping = "enabled"
Will that do the trick? There is also a mame_remapping setting already in the opt file, set to enabled.
I made sure to save the .opt file.
Still no luck on the TAB working.

dont edit your options file set it from the options menu

I was able to solve this part by manually editing G:\Emulation\RetroArch\retroarch.cfg and setting those key mappings to "nul".
However, no I truly have no way to open the in-game menu in mame, since TAB still doesn't work.

Oh, OK. Do you happen to remember which menu in RetroArch has it? I don't see it in Settings->Input or Settings-Configuration.

is the core options menu usually settings select +x to bring the menu up then pick options

Woot! I found it. The legacy mapping option was already set to "on". However, I changed the retropad/keyboard setting to "simultaneous" and now it works!
Many thanks for your help!
