As far as I can tell, you really know how to handle with the code even if your are not a programmer. And this is an example for all others who afraid this type of FE
Yes, you can change the codes in the keydown and keyup functions (in main.html and index.html). I intended to add a graphical way to change the keycode values (the "blank" Shortcuts tab in settings page) but didn't found the chance to do it
The other settings you noticed inside settings.ini are for my custom interface/controller which I built for my cab:

If you are using something like i-pac then you don't need to mess with these settings and keep the setting LoadKeyboardController to no
PS I will have a look at that sound issue and I will implement the other idea we talked about. Also I will see if something can be done about those crashes you had when loading an emulator. Maybe I have some ideas on how to trap some of them

Oh yeah, the QT version is running very well now but still has the sound issue with the starfield enabled. The video was of the QT but on a different computer running W7 64 is all the latest updates - and it doesn't have any issues. This computer is slower than the one in the build but I think because its running more advanced/recent software it gets by with the audio.

Hmm, I just noticed that quote. I thought that the computer in the actual machine was slower but it's the other way around. Hmm, so it has nothing to do with CPU power. Try to install the same version of vlc with the one on the working machine
Le Chuck:
It is the same vlc. I tried that too. Weird.
The crashes only occur the first time I try and run Mame. And it's consistent. Upon startup the first time I choose a Mame game it freezes. I can use task mngr to kill the process. After that it works perfect every time.

Maybe something is wrong in XP 64bit and libvlc which is 32bit, that don't appear in W7 64bit
Do you have an older version of the default theme (lower that 3.1. For example version 3.0 or 2.9) to try? Lower versions used the vlc plugin for playback and not libvlc
Le Chuck:
I think I deleted them all but I'll check. If I do I'll give one a shot and let you know.
I was having trouble keeping track of which version was up to date :)
arximidis:
Hmm, looking at the code I think it's not a wise choice to "invest" on the qt version
The only real problem you had with IE version on XP was music/sound and the css animations (this is the reason the emulators are not loading, because javascript is raising an internal error)
All these are actually fixable. For example I can use windows media player for sound and music (because the older versions of internet explorer are not supporting the html5 commands). For the css animations I can use jquerry instead
I will work with the IE version on my vacation time on August.
