Depending on the selected game it launches mame.exe or fifjr.exe (or flappybird.exe or spacecommander.exe). I made it for myself. As I thought it would be handy for others too (as it is really easy to set up) I wanted to share it. I don't want to compete with LEDBlinky.

Sure you can, just set it up as a separate emulator. You can run multiple emulators from a single wheel.

You can't. Every game is launched with the same executable (MAME) for the whole wheel. In my case the executable is HyperMap who decides which executable to actually launch depending on the game parameter.

... a problem you wouldn't have with LEDBlinky as you don't set it as the executable. After enabling LEDBlinky in Hyperspin you launch games normally from each emu setup and Hyperspin passes command line param's for which game is launching and which U360 map to set.

And there's your problem: you can only configure one emulator per wheel so all games must run in MAME for the MAME wheel...

That's not accurate.
You can run multiple emulators from the same wheel by changing the exe in the xml file for a game. For instance, in the xml for MAME you could place <exe>Zinc</exe> for a game to run it in Zinc instead. You can run as many differently emulators from a single wheel as you want.
If you had multiple versions of Zinc you could setup a separate emulator for each version (Zinc1, Zinc2, Zinc3) and use whichever you like by changing the exe for game in the xml file for that wheel... <exe>Zinc1</exe> <exe>Zinc2</exe> <exe>Zinc3</exe>

I did not know that. So you can mix wheels. You could solve it that way I guess. Thanks for sharing this. I still prefer my way though ::)
