OK.... all of my SNES games are on one list in MAMEWAH. However, I want certain games to use a different control scheme. The only way I can imagine doing this would be to either make a list for each control scheme in MAMEWAH or to change the files that list the games to execute a different ZSNES (but would that file get totally overwritten when I regenerated a list?). Anyways... I would like to keep to one list so I wanna stay away from the first option. Does any else know of any other ways I can pull this off?

Maybe turn MAMEwah control options off for MAMEWah for SNES games, and set the controls for SNES games inside the ZSNES default preferences. Since SNES games use 6 buttons, it is probably easy enough to permanetly assign joysticks and buttons for A,B,L,R,X and Y, for each player plus Start and Select.

That's how I have it now, but my button configuration is good for some games and not for other. I would like to be able to use multiple configurations for different games.

Perhaps you could have 2 versions of zsnes.cfg (or whatever the config file is called, with the key mappings in). Then use a batch file to rename the file appropriately, based on the romname, and then launch zsnes. The batch file would be your emulator_executable, rather than zsnesw.exe itself.

Very good idea, only problem is I never worked with batch files, they're like shell scripts on UNIX right?

Dunno, I've never used Unix ???
It's just stuff like you'd use at a commandline...just googled this:
