It's Baaaack! Dragon King 0.99

Hey Howard,
I sent you an e-mail on this issue but then I thought that there might be some people here might be curious about the same thing so I'll ask here as well.
In the new skinner under "Path Caption", what do the numbers 0 - 12 correspond to? I suspect that 1 is the rom name but that is just a guess. I am almost done with a new skin, which I'll send to you when it's done, but this is the only part I can't figure out.
Thanks for any info.

Yeah I know about that, it's a directinput thing. I haven't bothered to fix it yet because the feature is more for hard-wired setups (cabinets that use joystick input) I'll put a call in later on.
Let me know if there's anything else.

0-12 are slots 0-12 in the masterlist file.... their specific data types are mentioned somewhere in the online docs. Actually 0 is the rom name if I'm not mistaken, you aren't thinking like a programmer, we always start with 0, not 1 ;)
Slots are seperated by a "|" so open it up and look for yourself if you can't find it. I rarely list them all because I don't know all 12 myself without looking. :)

Thanks for the info. The reason I thought that 1 was the rom name was because that is the only field used in the new NES skin and I had thought that was what was displayed in the skin.
I definitely understand the concept of counting from 0.

Howard, a couple more questions regarding joystick input, hope you don't mind ;)
1) I have the info command (uiInfo) configured as
keyboard 86 (V key)
joypad b0 = 86
If I press b0 on my pad it does display the info screen but pressing it a second time does not exit it (or pressing b9=27=Esc=uiExit). But if I press either Esc or V on the keyboard both exit the info screen. How come the joypad input does not work?
2) I seem unable to map
uiNext50=75=j,
uiPrev50=74=k
SuiPrevLet=77=m
SuiNextLet=78=n
to buttons b2 or b3 although these appear fine when mapped to say Xaxis+. Any ideas?
BTW I'm using a PS2 pad hooked up via USB convertor. Again thanks for your help with all this.
