I have no custom ini settings for any of these games either. Where is MAME pulling that info from? It’s definitely saving it somewhere because if I change it in the sliders menu it saves, yet no ini is saved, it’s not stored in the .cfg or nvram either.

Mame stores those settings in mame.ini Try opening mame.ini with Wordpad or something similar and editing the setting there. You can also create a new default mame.ini file by opening a command window and typing: mame -cc and hitting enter Hope this helps.

I don’t know how I missed it; somehow I had saved slider settings in a bunch of .cfg files that were automatically loading when I was starting a game. I am confused I thought MAME never saved sliders ever. Either way solved! Envisaged0ne MAME Fan Reged: 08/29/06 Posts: 543 Send PM Re: How to reset stock settings for contrast/gamma/brightness? [Re: Dante82] #386046 - 05/01/20 12:55 AM Reply Yes, MAME automatically saves the brightness, contrast, gamma settings to a .CFG file when you make changes in game. You can set the files to Read Only to avoid this. Just keep in mind that it also saves your input settings to the same CFG file Edited by Envisaged0ne (05/01/20 01:09 AM) Windows 11 64 bit OS Intel Core i7-10700 Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 6GB 32GB DDR4 RAM Pages: 1
