<![CDATA[How do I change the button mapping to open the MAME Dipswitch Settings and NOT the Retroarch settings?!]]>At some point I made the fatal mistake of mapping the button to open this MAME in-game dip switch menu to the same button I use as the "hotkey" to exit every game and emulator. Every time I try to open the menu it exits the game. Which is a problem because I need to change some ROM settings that I can ONLY do on this config menu.

I can't seem to find on the settings of where to change the button mapping to open/toggle the menu. NOT the retroarch menu but the MAME Menu (the one shown in this picture)

If it's for MAME standalone version, In the first post here, do step 10 and 11.

  • Core options -> system -> display mame menu -> enable

  • Then close retroarch and the mame menu will be open

  • under "input general" it's the first option, remap it.

  • Open Retroarch again and disable the core option to close the mame menu.

  • Test your new mame menu mapping

    • Alternatively, you can delete "default.cfg" in the cfg directory to factory reset the config too.
