Reporting back. LEDBlinky works great with Mamewah. Here's pointers on how to do it:

Looking forward to sending the devs some money. Makes my life a lot easier.

I guess you've sorted it, but you can use JoyTray with Mamewah. I've just got a ServoStik so have just set this up myself. You need something like this in your emulator.ini file:

pre_emulator_app_commandlines c:\joytray\joytray.exe -servo [input]

That's it!

This seems like it would work to switch the joystick from 4 way to 8 way (or vice versa) per EMULATOR. LEDBlinky supports switching based on the controls.dat file per GAME. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding.

Nope, the '[input]' part is replaced with the input type from the mame -listxml output...ie joy4way, joy8way etc.

This commandline is run every time you launch your emulator, so you run Pacman it runs:

c:\joytray\joytray.exe -servo joy4way
(then Mame)...

Then you quit and run 1942 and it runs:

c:\joytray\joytray.exe -servo joy8way
(then Mame)...

etc...

You can also add multiple programs separated by ;'s to run prior to launching the emulator, eg:

pre_emulator_app_commandlines c:\joytray\joytray.exe -servo [input];c:\myprog\runme.exe

Hope that helps, I guess the naming vs meaning of the setting is not really clear.

I tried this:
pre_emulator_app_commandlines c:\joytray\joytray.exe -servo [input] {nowait}

The log shows that it ran:
c:\joytray\joytray.exe -servo joy {flags=178}

Note that it simply says joy and not joy4way nor joy8way.

I checked the output of my listxml, here's an example line:

Here's the input lines from a random Street Fighter game:

--- Code: ---<input players="2" buttons="6" coins="2">
