Hi. Can anyone help?   Having some sort of confit problem here

At first for some reason when I exit from a game, all the controls in the TAB menu have reset to default,   So I checked the cfg directory in mame itself and in the ini file and that looks ok.  I tried changing the cfg file as it was set to read only...   didn't seem to help. 

But now when I exit a game everything just crashes and freezes. No idea whats happening here. I had the same issue with the HI score,  it wasnt saving hi scores and was doing pretty the same problem,  turns out there was no DATS file, I made one then everything was fine. 

No idea here though...    the cfg file has loads of files in it so mame has been writing in there...

can anyone help please?

The cfg files are managed and overwritten automatically, as the explanatory text file in the cfg folder details. When you make changes that are stored in the cfg file, controls for example, you need to manually copy them to the ctrl file so that they are saved.

Basically consider cfg as only keeping settings per session.

I've never manually saved any files anywhere in hyperspin before,  I normally just exit game and all is fine. Controls are normally the same when I go back to it

Have a read up on how the MAME cfg files work.
