      I have a problem that I can't seem to find the solution to anywhere I could be just playing any arcade game in my arcade folder on my RPi 2 B(only on MAME2003 not fba, etc. am I having this problem) but all of a sudden this ugly black and white settings bar comes out of nowhere an complete wrecks my game and worst of all I have NO IDEA HOW TO GET RID/DISABLE IT! If any of you could help me I would really appreciate it.

        @saint_jimmy Is this the b&w settings you're talking about:
        http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/Using_RetroArch?file=Rgui.png

        This is the RetroArch settings, which pop-up when you press Select + X. You can use the 'Resume' menu entry to get back to your game.

          @mitu I see what your thinking of but I'm talking about a small black and white box on the bottom of my screen that says stuff like gamma and left side volume that changes settings when you press down.

              What type of controller are you using? Most of those black bar things are controlled by keyboard keys in mame. If your controller is emulating a keyboard, you might be triggering some of those settings.

                  @saint_jimmy it looks your "down" input is mapped to cycling through those Mame settings.

                  If you press "tab" and enter the Mame menu you can check which setting "down" is mapped to and disable it.

                    @saint_jimmy It looks like a button has been mapped to bring up the lr-mame2003 On Screen Display and pressing a directional button is cycling through the options.

                    A safe way of fixing this is to delete the global input file, default.cfg. Its location will depend on where you have placed your arcade roms. More info, please refer to: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/lr-mame2003/#mame-menu

                      ive done this befor by accident its an easy fix though just clear your cfg dir on mame to restore the defaults

                      im assuming youll be using lrmame2003
                      rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/mame2003/cfg/*

                          jimmy i think that was meant for thread but do this

                          sudo pico /boot/cmdline.txt

                          add this to the end (make sure you make a space from the last letter)

                          usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x40

                          press ctrl+x to save and exit

                          you will need to reboot as well

                          sudo shutdown -r now
