      Hello everyone, so all of the sudden I am getting —- in the control input slots in MAME2016 and MAME2003. These are also uneditable. I would really like to get some game controls configured, so any help would be extremely appreciated! Thank you

      This is on Retroarch 1.8.5, and I did not see any error messages. I am just unable to change any of my controls suddenly. I also tried re-installing from binary and it did not help.

      Here are my
      Details:
      Raspberry Pi 4B w/4GB ram, 64bit processor
      Power Supply used: MODEL DCAR-RSP-3A5C, INPUT 100-240V AC, OUTPUT: 5.1V 3.5A
      RetroPie version: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) - Linux retropie 4.19.97-v7l+
      Built From: RetroPie-Setup version: 4.6.1 (4464b474)
      USB Devices connected: SNES controller, USB keyboard
      Controller used: SNES controller, USB keyboard

        Please note: I did switch to a PS2 USB controller during the process of going through my arcade games & configuring the emulators. It did let me change the controls at first and I did not update anything so I cannot understand why I am suddenly getting three dashes in the input slots - - -

        Also note: Mame2003 works up I cannot go up down left or right.

          SOLVED, a MAME 2016.rmp file was generated in
          configs/arcade/mame2016 and over wrote my controls. I deleted the .rmp file and now I have my controls working again.
