How To Save Preferences In Mame4All

[alyinsanfran]

I'm really enjoying Franxis' latest version for Caanoo - I hadn't updated in months.

I am wondering though, is there a way to save preferences (screen orientation etc) for individual roms, and a way to save globally (for all roms), like you can in most emulators?

I haven't found mention of it in the docs, and I can't see how to do so in the menus. It seems to save globally with each new rom you load.

i can just tell on the wiz version (an older one), that the settings are stored individually per rom; maybe there's a bug though, but i dont think so.
what might help is exiting the emulator normally so that you are back in the menu and then shutting off the caanoo that all unsaved sd data is flushed to the card.

Ok that must be it, cheers crow_riot. I've got a few versions of Mame on the card so maybe I've mixed it up - I'll clean it.

Do you have a 'cfg' folder in your mame4all folder? If not then create it, I think this is a bug that previous versions didn't have.

EDIT: Think this affects the Wiz version only.
