Felsir:
@PacManFan: I'm going to take a look at Kymaera. I'm curious about the level of configurability.

(Except for maybe xml configs, but that doesn't matter) The moral of this story is research, research, research.  :)  

Looks nice though, good luck with it!

I did some research, never installed another FE but I browsed their features list (where available) and studied screenshots and I haven't found the control-panel feature in the same way I made it. It might be in somewhere in one of the available FEs so you're right I could have done better research.

@SirPoonga:
I have a discription for each control in each configured game. If there is a discription available for a button, joystick or trackball the graphic is shown with the description underneath it.
It doesn't hilight the controls physically on the CP, it's just graphics onscreen.

I mean, where are you getting your information from?

Felsir:
I enter the description for the controls in my configuration XML for each game.
For example controls in the Metal Slug config:

--- Code: ---   <controls>
      <joy1>Move</joy1>
      <button1>Shoot</button1>
      <button2>Jump</button2>
      <button3>Granade</button3>
   </controls>

--- End code ---

SirPoonga:
Actually, that is what I wanted to know peter :)

Ok Felsir.
More questions for you since you seem to have made your own XML file with the controls info.
Did you do ALL the games?
Where did you find the control info?  Just mame and klov?


If you don't know about it the controls.dat project is doing that for you :)
