Done.
Money back guarantee for the No-Solder and MAX versions.
So, how many can I put you down for? :)

I don't think this will work, so you mean this does?

The PC doesn't always know what the controls actually are (hence the controls.dat project).

The PC always knows what game is running, and knowing what game is enough information to know what type of controls you need. (Whether or not MAME knows the answers, the answers are there, and hence this is something that can and should be automated in the front-end.)
Because Randy hasn't described anything like that is precisely why I asked him! :)

SirP gave you the answer, go search on the controls.dat project and you'll understand it. I'm sure the project could use your help.

Thanks, I'm familiar with controls.dat. But my question wasn't about controls.dat or about how to set up a front-end. My question was whether the GP-Wiz49 would, now or in the future, support switching modes via software.
I could assume the answer I've been given is correct. I could also have assumed that was the case from the beginning. I'm not interested in assumptions.

Darn you, Randy!
