            if you rebound it via the mame internal menu, then it's probably fixable by fixing the mame.ini or cfg. i don't think retroarch knows about the mame internal menu.

            what mame core are you using?

              The version of the mame is MAME 0.37b5

              I found the mame . cfg in this path

              /opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all

              but when i open the mame.cfg there are few options.
              and the readme file says about mame.cfg:

              mame.cfg -> MAME configuration file, limited support to only the options in the supplied file (not the full MAME settings) :(

                did you break it in the first place via the tab menu? if so, have a look in
                /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-mame4all/
                /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/
                it may be in there or a sub-folder. i don't use mame4all, so just guessing here...

                    /opt/retropie/configs/mame-mame4all/cfg/default.cfg

                    you can either try fix it there or just delete it and it'll regenerate to defaults and you can start over.

                      I find the default.cfg

                      tried to edit but was full of strange symbols, so i deleted it, and now all works fine.

                      Thany you all guys !:)
