I don't know how long I could resist pushing that BIG RED BUTTON--just to see what it did.

I doubt I'll vote for you for president (or especially for president of a country that might nuke me).

Thanks for the info, though!

As for the controls... I spent a LOT of time getting that working on JFront (without spending a great deal of time)...

How I ended up doing it is to copy the default.cfg file around (because it was before the control.ini existed and it still works so I haven't touched it).

Anyway, what I do is define a game type that you want to play with what controls.... And what control panel you are using.  Then I copy the appropriate default.cfg file in mame\cfg\ directory before launching a game...  You set the defaults once... and all other games that meet the same requirements are set.

So you could sperate the control panels that you want enabled... (V, H, V (both), All three)... Then configure the defaults 4 times (once for each) and from then on your done.

I used it mainly to change all 2player 8way 6 buttons games (sf games) and flip the top row and bottom row of buttons)....  Setup mortal kombat once for all of those (but I do this with a special tag for MK games).  

Anyway, it was nice... but not needed as much with the ini files.  I could easily switch to instead of copying cfg files, specify the .ini file... but there aren't any ingame editor for the ini files...  So until I write one, I will copy cfg files.

I'm confused.

Are you saying that you each time you change the default settings, you then play the games that you want those setting to use.

I understand the first part, but I'm lost as to how each different setup actually gets setup.

jedimason:
If anyone cares, I found out a way to make this work without having to manually go through each one.

I just used arcadevga m.a.m.e resolution tool and added in a line of code to point to the control setup"ctrlr jonny" for each vertical game.

All you do is go into one of the games, enter the command into the additional options, select "All games with this orientation", enter ok.  Then file generate .ini files.
 
5 seconds and I was done.

Great tool even though I'm not using it for any resolution adjustment.
