Tab menu not working in MAME 037 or FBA

I can't use the Tab key to activate the settings menu in games running under MAME 037 or FBA. How can I enable it?
Also, I'm not able to locate the folder where the default and per-game
.cfg files are stored for FBA. I see the
.cfg files in
~/.mame037/mame2000/cfg for MAME 037, but I don't know where to find them for FBA.

FBA doesn't have a tab menu. It also doesn't use MAME style config files.
037 should have a MAME tab menu... I'll have to look into whats happening though as I don't really use 037 any more.
Are you on ARpiCADE 3.X?

Yeah, still running 3.X. Was having some control mapping issues in FBA and 037, but I think I got them ironed out via the Retroarch configs. I was just wondering why Tab menus weren't working for me.
If you get a chance, let me know if the Tab menu works in 037 for you, so at least I'll know if it's something on my end.
Thanks

Nevermind, found a post further down. F1 for the fba menu.
Were you able to figure out how to get into the fba menu? I was testing some games tonight and couldn't figure it out either. P1+down did pause it though.
Using 3.X image.

Default shortcut for the FBA menu is start+b6
Tried Truxton in MAME0.037 and the MAME menu worked for me, both with 'tab' and 'start+joy_right'. Not sure what's happening there for you, what game(s) are you running in 037? It could be game specific.
