MAME control mapping no tab option on keyboard

[disco78]

Hi guys,

Finally got my arcade cabinet built and setup after 4 months.

Plug the pi in and connected everything up and it's all working great accept I seem to have lost the saved MAME controls. So I plugged in a keyboard loaded a MAME game and pressed TAB on the keyboard but nothing happens no options to input (general)?

Any idea why I can't access this? They keyboard works a ESC boots me back to recalbox menu, nothing else seems to work?

I'm sure I've missed a step but I cannot find it.

Thanks

@disco78 We recommend using a joystick to play in Recalbox, using it exclusively with the keyboard is not recommended.
With the Joystick, to access the Retroarch menu just press Hotkey+B (based on the SNES joystick).

You can use the Virtual Gamepad (even on smartphone), see:
