Lets try remaps one more time. Then see if Mame menu can work.
In global retroarch.cfg this == the following (if I did it, I'm not because it messes up RGUI and mame menu controls)
Per Content Directory cfg Override has this
Doesn't Work.
Time to try remaps.
Quick Menu -> Controls -> Save Content Directory Remap File
input_remapping_directory
input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/"
Is no good. It save the remaps under
\\centipede\configs\mame-libretro\MAME 2003 (0.78)\spinner.rmp
I'd rather
\\centipede\configs\all\retroarch\config\remaps\MAME 2003 (0.78)\spinner.rmp
So change
input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/remaps/"
When I save a remap file in which I changed a button it wrote
input_player1_btn_up = "-1"
input_player1_btn_x = "0"
Now why is the remap file using
input_player1_btn_x
instead of
input_player1_x_btnWTF.
