    @SnipedintheHead that's the configuration file. I suspect you're not running mame2003 in these instances.

          Hi all,

          i have retropie 4.0.2 fresh image install and raspberry pi 3 model B.

          i put all my roms in the arcade folder cause i like to have all my arcade games in one place.
          Unfortunatelly the TAB mame button DONT works for all lr-mame4all emulated games ( and also fba-next )
          but it works perfectly in games emulated with mame2003 ( both in the same "arcade" folder ) .
          Have you got any solution to show tab menu ALSO in lr-mame4all emulated games stored in the folder "arcade"?
          I didnt find any.
          The strage thing is that if i put the SAME game in the lr-mame4all folder and i run the game from that emulator, then the TAB button works perfectly.
          Is it maybe a bug?
          Thank so much for your help

            mame-mame4all

            What is this? It doesn't exist. It is Mame4All-Pi and lr-mame4all. Which emulator are you referring to? On some emulators, TAB doesn't work.

                @superdan Well, FBA isn't MAME, so no MAME GUI on that one for sure.

                    Thanks for your replies,
                    The situation at the moment:
                    lr-imame4all -> TAB not working if games are in the "arcade" folder.
                    If the rom of the game is in the lr-imame4all rom folder than TAB works again but only in that emu, not in the "arcade" interface.

                        tab doesn't work in lr-imame4all. if you want to use tab, use mame4all-pi, also available in the arcade folder.
