      Hi,

      I'm running Retropie 4.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3. Is there any chance to access the MAME menu (TAB key in keyboard) from a SNES controller?
      The goal is enabling cheats directly from the controller with no need for a USB keyboard attached to the Raspberry Pi.
      Maybe Mame4all-Pi does not allow it but it may be achieved with lr-imame4all as it uses retroarch configuration?
      Thank you in advance and regards,

        @derebo You can enter the menu on a keyboard initially, and then under Input (general) the first item is Config Menu which can be changed to a joypad button

        Note that lr-mame2003 is a better mame emulator for the rpi3 though (Supports more games) - along with lr-fbalpha
