Sounds like a project that deserves it's own website. I was looking at featureprice.com, not a bad deal. This site is on that. PlanetJay does do some subdomaain selling if he has any open spots, could talk about it....

What's with that?

I don't know if you figured it out or someone told you. 8way is a joystick that you can do the diagnals too. Hence 8 direction you can use. A 4way is just up/down left/right like pacman.

I was part of the original discussion back in March, and I am very excited to see the enthusiasm this time around! I'm posting my original quote from that discussion because I still think ICPD is a good reference:
"Actually here's another idea for the esteemed programmers among us (certainly not me, and thanks for the hard work BTW).
Make a program like ArcadeFX's ICPD where someone could easily setup his own contol panel layout and save it as a picture in the FE itself. Then, when each game is highlighted on the menu have the picture of the control panel highlight what each button does in that particular game. The user would have to input the controls for each game, of course, although many games could use a more generic layout that the user indicates as such (i.e. all Donkey Kong clones would use the "DK" button layout, all Street Fighter the "6 button fighting" layout, etc.) ."
