Enter key swapped with Backspace
-
I'm running my arcade games in lr-mame using EmulationStation as the font-end. Call me crazy, but I use a keyboard to navigate ES. To make that possible, I had to configure the keyboard as a controller and assign A button to enter and B to backspace (is that not what I should be doing?)
Stupid thing is, when I open the OSD in mame, the Enter key works as UI Cancel and Backspace is now UI Select. Even more stupid, if I remap UI Select and Cancel in the mame OSD for input/general, then the ES navigation gets messed up!
What am I doing wrong?

@dcaputi Please more Info, as requested by this sticky.
But (now my 2ct. commentary first) as you are using lr-mame, hey - you just encountered one of the cores/situations where the arguments from NonMAME against retroarch are at least in so far valid, that non expert users aren't aware of the
culpritshazzards/pitfalls they may encounter.for mame (and lr-mame is still mame) the keyboard is the keyboard and the libretro RetroPad concept (overlayed on/utilizing the KBD) is conflicting with it! Not sure what lr-mame you are using, but within the retroarch config for it you may find an option to have it to accept retropad or keyboard only. Not sure how to explain it properly, but if you search this forum for configuring (lr-)mame in conjunction with keyboard encoders like the I-PAC (2/4), you will find your solution.
