Thanks for the reply @barbudreadmon, appreciate it!

I'll take the emulation switch into consideration at some point, but for now would really just love to reset these controller settings if I can figure out which file the front-end changed and how to reset it.

I did find the file advmame.rc which seems to have a lot of controller configs in it located in these two spots:
/share/system/configs/advancemame/
/root/configs/advancemame/

I made some changes via the interface to get some games working, but I'm sure I didn't get it to where it was originally.

Additionally, I don't think I'm seeing the changes in the locations/files mentioned so I'm not sure I found the right spot. Also, the advmame.rc.origin file has next to nothing in it in comparison, so I'm not keen on reverting to that one.

I'm not really using the advancemame emulator, so I'm assuming that's why? I think most of them with issues are running mame2003+.

Thanks anyone for any thoughts!

Hi folks, I accidentally broke my MAME button mapping.

I was in a game and edited the "inputs (general)" settings, not really meaning to do so. I've yet to be able to figure out how to reset these to normal.

I've followed this thread (shut down es and removed the lines from recalbox.conf):
https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/24453/how-to-delete-or-clean-reset-all-found-controllers

But upon reboot it simply re-finds the wrong configuration for that controller on MAME and I'm stuck with games I can't control now (up is down, left and right do nothing, etc).

I'd prefer not to do a full system reset if I can avoid it. Appreciate the help as I'm relatively new to this. My 7 year old boy and I will be grateful!

THANK YOU!

Hey @Diegus83, did you ever have any luck figuring this out?

I've been battling with both the 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ as well as the Arcade Stick. Same problems. Works fine navigating around, but when entering a game it just stops working. On/off does sometimes help when you're in the game.

Super annoying. Would love any insight into how to fix this, and/or if there's a fix in the works to be released?

Cheers,
Al
