MAME QUESTION

[peterson65]

started having random windows crashes and had to do a fresh install, still have original drive with everything on it and dont want to copy  something that might have been causing the crashes. so in mame where is the info stored for button  settings and gun settings per game that i can copy back over to the new install so i dont have to go and set all that up again.   thanks

I think there a little obfuscated but you should be good if you backup the whole folder.  Although theoretically it should either be cfg ot ini. Anyway windows crashes should be nothing to do with MAME directly.

ok thanks. it was strange because it would be running and in attract mode and go for sometimes hours and i would walk away and there would be windows has recovered error on the screen?  couldnt really find the problem in the error logs in windows tried everything gave up and reinstalled and all seems fine now  thanks i will copy  the cfg files
