Hey folks, been a long time.

Is it possible to set inputs for lots of games at once? Not all games, just a lot of them. (I need to remap 4 player games on my 4 player CP). Like are there any 3rd party utilities that allow this?

I tried manually just creating .cfg files but they get overwritten if the <input> fields aren't perfect. And each <input> has attributes like tag, mask, etc that differ between inputs for different games.

Also I considered using ctrlr files for these 4 player games except I'm using LEDBlinky which expects you to use only one (or zero) ctrlr file(s) for everything. So I can't just swap between different ctrlr files.

Anyways is there any way to do this? I'm sure I'm not the first person that has had to change control inputs for lots of games at once. Just surprised there doesn't seem to be an easier way that I can see.
