      Hi Guys. I just finished building a new pigrrl w via the tutorial here using a Pi3 using the newest retropie. My console systems seem to work fine but Mame gets stuck on the press a for help screen even though I can here the game start in the background. I there something I am missing? I am using romset .78 and LRmame2003. It all worked fine before on my large tv. I would appreciate any advice.

        @davidstone83 That is odd. You are definitely using the correct 0.78 ROM set for lr-mame2003? And it worked on the TV? And you hear the sound? Does it accept a coin? (ie make a noise) when you hit the coin button?

          It makes noise when I hit the select button. It just does not go off of the boot screen. I cant hit any button to configure it either .

            So I plugged in my keyboard and mapped it and hit the a button and got into the menu. The default resolution was 1080 so I fixed it. Should be good now. Thanks.

              Now I dont know how to configure what button inserts coins. Select seems to speed everything up. So I am lost again.

                @davidstone83 If you are using lr-mame2003 and you have configured your keyboard and controller correctly in emulation station then select should be coin and start should be start. These are the default buttons for RetroArch emulators. It sounds to me like you have borked something or you are using a third party image.
