      In Mame4All one gets a configuration UI by pressing the Tab key by default.
      Is there a configuration UI for Mame-libretro as well and if yes, how to access it?

          Now I understand what happened:
          Instead of using the arcade folder I placed my ROMS into mame-mame4all and mame-libretro. For the latter I didn't get a menu.
          I will try to run all my games out of the arcade folder now and test compatibility. When I used the upper folders, some games worked with one and another with the other folder/emu...

            @TimZett please read https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Arcade - your roms won't work with different arcade emulators - you need to download the romsets for the arcade emualtor you want to use - you can't mix-and-match.

              @dankcushions What I did now was putting all my arcade ROMS into the arcade ROM folder, instead of spreading them over the 2 different folders/emus I mentioned before.
              Then, for those games requiring Mame4All I set that emulator for the individual ROM via the configurator (press any key on game start-up).
              For the others I chose lr-mame2003 via the default emulator value.
              Now all my arcade games are running fine out of one and the same (arcade) folder and most important, now for all games I have a (one and the same) configuration UI (press Tab) - perfect.
