You don't, you can always use the keyboard for directions. You have to enable mouse in the ini file for mouse control.
--- Quote ---So how does controls.dat modify the control settings? Does it replace the .cfg files or does it require a specail build of mame? I thought controls.dat was used to create an image of a CP with the buttons that a game uses. I didn't realize it reprograms all the input mappings.

Controls.dat is just an information file. It's up to the progrmmer to determine how to use it. Like Johnny5 uses it to create a graphics of your control panel with the buttons correctly labelled (cross referencing your mame cfg and ctrlr files).

I think that is what I'v decided. SirPoonga and gl.tter have this area covered already. People can download buddamame today and have LSE working. Sirpoonga is hooking up the controls.dat stuff up too.
Anything I release would just be labeled as a lesser solution and I just don't have the time/desire to rewrite all my stuff to support controls.dat and LSE.
I'm still going to extend the LEDWiz driver to support multiple devices but that will probably be the extent of public contribution.
I'm looking forward to playing Cruisin USA at 1600x1200 with FSAA.

I can't program anything in MAME, though, so my role would be strictly administrative.

Mahuti, if this is something that you have the time to set up I think you should go ahead and do it. A "Diff Depository" would be great, I'd love to be able to pick and choose different features. An easy way to grab MikeQ's upcoming LEDWiz support, gl.tters LSE engine, SA Dev's tweaks and AdvMame's 'Safe Quit' features and roll them into a custom build of Mame would rock!
Once a site is up and running, I'm sure everyone working on custom Mame builds would flock there. If you build it, they will come.
(oh, and if you need webspace, joymonkey.com has a ton of space and bandwidth just sitting there).

Thanks for the offer. :) Among other things... I own a hosting company, so I'll probably find some room there. :D

MikeQ, um... When I read your last post here, the only thing I have to associate with the emotion of the post is your avitar unhappily smacking it's head. Is it reflective?
