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.
