He heee!  Intruder Alert asked about three times in a different thread how the 49-ways with Randy's interface played in Donkey Kong.

mame4way.bat

@config49 4way
@mame %1  %2 %3 %4 %5
@config49 8way

I don't know about mamewah but then you add an emulator mame4way and a mame8way and a mame49way (ext).  Each one would only know about the specific rom directory.

anyway, just a thought.

That would require you to go through and individually manage your sets to put them in the correct directory. The info in Controls.ini is perfect for making the decision on which mode to use. As a backup, the output from MAME is ok until you hit 2 way or 4 way diagonal controls. Not to mention games where it's just wrong. So far, I have found using controls.ini with 8 way as a backup if it's not in there to be pretty darn good.

I'm going to have to buy 4 of these babys!
The $15 premium for the MAX version is going to end up costing me $60.. ouch
How hard is it so rig up a cable for the ECO?
Should I just bite the bullet and go with 4 MAXs?

How comfortable are you with soldering and or crimping? I used the solder version and 12 pin .100 connectors to make the cables. Pretty easy to do and it came out very nice. You can also go the solderless version and use a floppy cable per Randy's diagrams but for me that is actually more difficult. Mainly because I always miscount the damn things :) The 12 pin connectors fit perfectly and it's easy to follow the wiring when you're doing it one wire at a time.

Well.. I don't mind soldering but I kind of like the idea of having a quick disconnect cable too
If that's the only difference I guess I'll go with the ECOs
