How would I map a function to the "up arrow." Honesly, I have never really understood the keyboard codes where a key mapping would look something like this:
"UP=085"
However, if you provided a list of all the keyboard codes it would not be as painful.

As I said, think MAME's ctrlr ini files - no more keycodes in sight ;)

My first instinct says keep the menus but that's because I'm used to them. My experience with Mamewah Setup was not a good one (Probably something I did wrong) but setting up everything through your menus and using screenshot archives tutorials everything went smoothly.
If you want to get rid of them that would be fine if it's going to be like mame's .ini file. I'm used to configuring that too.
Your plans to go to ctrlr.ini like files sounds a little scary for me becuase I've never quite figured them out. I just hope you will provide detailed instructions on configuring them. It will be cool to not have to use JoytoKey anymore. Oh and I can't wait for the trackball/mouse support. ;D
Just my $.02 Thanks Minwah!

Well, my 0.02c.
I say keep them. I was trying to setup using the mamewah setup tool. Everything was working great except when I choose Roms Vs DAT. I couldnt refresh the list. The button was always greyed out. So I went into Mamewah and refreshed using the option there and all is fine now.. I can even see the names as they should be!
So keep them cause it was very useful to me to have multiple ways of doing things.

I seriously suggest you give MAME's ctrlr ini files a go - they're a godsend especially for cabs with multiple controls. And not difficult at all actually :)
As per usual I doubt I will have *massively* details instructions...however I have been making specific docs on the subject as I go, and also the files contain comments, and I will be including some samples too.
It is cool not to have to use JoyToKey...but in switching to DirectX I have somewhat worsened/broken the analog input handling atm, so I am working on fixing that up again atm...
Thanks for the votes/comments, keep em coming...so far keeping the menu is winning, but I don't intend to change this either way for the next release anyway...
