Title: HELP! DELTETED SELECT BUTTON
Post by: cruz1445 on March 24, 2020, 09:35:08 PM

SO I have a arcade cabinet that im setting up. Was finally in the finishing touches with my arcade button controls in attract mode and I accidentally deleted my select button. I tried some of the methods I found online but none have worked. I currently cannot even back out of attract mode as it asks if i am sure I want to back out. It also boots directly into attract mode when I power off and on. BUMMED OUT as I finally have time to set this up. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit your attract.cfg to add/change the desired key/button. This might need to be done when AM is not running. If done while AM is running you might need a restart.

This is the default key map

Code: [Select]

input_map
configure            Tab
prev_letter          Up+LControl
next_letter          Down+LControl
filters_menu         Left+LControl
next_filter          Right+LControl
configure            Escape+Up
edit_game            Escape+Down
add_favourite        Escape+LControl
prev_letter          Joy0 Up+Joy0 Button0
next_letter          Joy0 Down+Joy0 Button0
filters_menu         Joy0 Left+Joy0 Button0
next_filter          Joy0 Right+Joy0 Button0
configure            Joy0 Up+Joy0 Button1
edit_game            Joy0 Down+Joy0 Button1
add_favourite        Joy0 Button0+Joy0 Button1
back                 Escape
back                 Joy0 Button1
up                   Up

Windows: ctrl + alt + del > task manager
Mac: cmd + tab > finder or terminal
Linux: ctrl + alt + f2 (maybe?)

Mac or linux, edit or remove:
$ nano <path>attract.cfg
$ rm <path>attract.cfg

Thanks for the responses! I plugged in my keyboard but only the enter button is working as "select". Problem now is I am trying to get to the configure controls again in attract mode. The Tab button is not pulling up anything for the menu. I am new to all this so thanks again for the help.

Edit your attract.cfg file "input_map" section to match what I posted above to resolve your issue. You can then move on to setup your controls properly.
