Just curious, are there more shortcuts than those you're allowed to remap on the controller config screen?

It'd be cool to have the different exit options available via a button or key combo, for example... If people consider it too 'dangerous' maybe they could be unmapped by default.

Or maybe a button to cycle between a set of layouts... (or load a random one

Not really a major deficiency in MW (great job in general Minwah!!!), guess I just can't stand the thought of all these control panel buttons going unused.

Sorta related, I actually remapped the Menu button, P2, in Mamewah to an extra button on my CP. Then when I have kids over, I can disconnect the microswitch under the button so that the kids can't exit out of Mamewah.

Last party I had, the the adults were like, errr, how do I start a game?

Then the kids (10, 11, 12) were pressing buttons randomly and managed to bring up the mame input menus and randomly reprog'd my key mappings! Amazing!!

There is a 'child-lock' you know...hold P2 Start for 3 seconds to lock out the menu

Xochi: I expect I will be adding more shortcut options at some point, but it is not a priority just yet...

Minwah,

Is there a way to then 'unlock' the menu? hold P2 Start again for 3 seconds?

TIA,

Rocky

Wow, is that documented in the readme? I either completely missed it or just flat out didn't know. But with kids in the house, that's an awesome feature to know about.

Thanks!

Cool feature! Let's see if it's kids-proof!
