INI file hacks. Lilwolf, you might like:)
Lilwolf:
Cool!
the 6button thing was 100% way I spend so much time playing / copying the default.cfg files around..
but now that I have it, I use it in a bunch of places.
Like when I'm using a 4player control panel, 2player games use the middle joysticks...
and 4way joysticks games use up notleft notright when using a normal control panel... but doesn't do anything if I'm running my 'classic' control panel (4way, with asteroid buttons, with a 4way diagonal for qbert).
So, I would have been REALLY interested... but now I can't get rid of my other functionality... unless we added more code to mame that is :)
SirPoonga:
Ok, I updated my website with the hacks.
Let me know if you like the idea? would use the idea?
I'm thinking FE devs would like this too, then they don;t have to detect if the game is vertical to rotate automatically:)
How are the prefab controllers setup?
I know the hotrod is
123
7456
What or the others setup like? xarcade, slikstik?

Explain a little better? especially how you'd lose functionality?
I think I could do the same thing for the number of players too.
SirPoonga:
Actually, I could have it so there could be a joy2way.ini, joy4way.ini, joy8way.ini, joyD4way.ini, joyD8way.ini.
Though I don;t see a use for that
Also, I don't think it would be too hard to make a playerX.ini. That could be used by those people making 4 player cps. For for 2 player games, it;d set the controls to the middle two players. For 4 players it could setup the controls in order player 1 on left and so forth.

Yeah...I do that to in my fe. But having Sirp's will be a great alternative to using the fe stuff. They most liley allrerady know about the ini files in mame and how to use them. So setting these up then for example in my fe 15|vertical|-rol| etc. will be easier for general users...
