I'm playing the 64 bit version on Windows 10 and I tried remapping button 5 to button 3 for CONTROL_COIN = 3 and the changes aren't working. Pushing button 5 still works to drop a coin in-game, though.

Just want to reiterate that the work you've done here is incredible and I think it will help to bring attention to all these great romhacks.

Hey, thanks for getting it install already! I love the DK romhacks and it was really my intention to showcase them.

The coin function in the frontend simply displays information above the arcade machine icons. It doesn't do a lot. Does nothing at all happen when you press 3 on the keyboard?
and can you confirm your settings line reads like this with no extra spaces:
CONTROL_COIN = 3

To clarify, I can toggle the gamenames on the frontend screen with button 3, but not insert coins while in game. I still have to press button 5 in the games (only tested DK remix so far).

This is very cool. What you wanted didn't exist - so you made it. Love that. Great work.

The controls are only applicable to the frontend, they don't carry through to DKWolf. I will look at getting DKWolf to pick up the DKAFE controls by default. That would be a useful feature. For now you have to change controls in the emulator also. Thanks.

KenToad:
Okay, I tried mapping in-game controls using the TAB menu and mapping by opening the Mame executable, dkwolf.exe, and saving the configuration. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to save my coin input as button 3 after I exit and restart the emulator.

*Edit* In the readme, it states that the config files cannot be saved. Does this apply to remapping the controls, as well?

ahh, yes, I had removed save of config files when I was trimming the functionality of WolfMAME. I had overlooked the controls aspect. I will put the config save feature back in and push out a release soon. Thank you for your help with testing!
