Pause button
#387774 - 09/07/20 08:42 PM


Here's a new one I recently noticed ... the P for Pause is not working for some reason. Is this me only? Is this MAMEUI only? I notice when I play HBMAME the P for Pause still works. Do I have some stupid setting somewhere or cfg option messed up? Am I thje only one? Thanks.

Depends on what system/machine you are using? Are you using one that has keyboard inputs? You may need to disable the emulated keyboard by hitting "Scroll Lock" (default) which should enable UI controls.

Nothing special - just using regular arcade games like Donkey Kong, Centipede or even Mortal Kombat for instance. I hit the P key during a game and nothing happens. Thanks.

Delete your \cfg *.cfg files to reset, maybe something got inadvertently set, or look in your mame.ini for the cfg_directory.

More unlikely is maybe there a \ctrl file being called that has the pause mapped elsewhere else.

Ok, I just deleted my cfg directory and re-created it. That didn't make any difference.

I don't use/have any controllers and have only ever used the keyboard.

When you go into the in-game [tab] menu and check the pause mapping, what's it mapped to? Look for Input General / User Interface / Pause.

I guess nobody read the changelog when John released it. Why do I bother?
