      I got my first game running today on MAME, I changed the button layout on my PS3 pad in game to start = start and select = coin.

      Now I can not exit from the game back to menu.

      What is the quickest way to fix this?

        Which version of MAME are you using?
        I use MAME4All and hitting Tab on the keyboard brings up the config menu, edit the ESC key to whichever button you want to exit the game with.

          ^^ this.. I had to do the same as changing config files or input selector didn't do anything. I configured my "PS" key for exit. The keycode is 16 i believe if you want to try doing it from the files.

            All very new to this, where do I map the PS key? I am guessing in a config file and if so can I do that via windows like when I add the ROM's and have changed other configs.

            I am trying to build a small device to use in hotel rooms which I find myself in a lot for work.

            Pi Zero, HDMI lead, PS3 controller, Bluetooth dongle and a phone charger which I need to carry for my phone.
