Heh, glad you like it...it took some work!

Actually, there is a small bug with the mouse scroll (only 1 user has noticed).  I won't say what since no-one else has noticed, and it'll be fixed next release  ;)

  Shrug. It's just a super huge improvement to be able to configure multiple inputs/keycodes per FE function.  I like how both P1 and P2 can now control the list, and it's super easy to configure too, especially if you've ever configured MAME's (old-style) ctrlr files.

  Not only that, but it's so much more efficient to scroll through 5000 games using the trackball than it is using the joystick, even with page-up/down or letter-up/down.  ..And to top it off, it's smoother than DK's scrolling or Kymaera's scrolling ever was on my machine (AthlonXP 2100).

  -Steve

  P.S. Even though this feature's been there for a while, I just got the CPViewer stuff working.  I love it!

Screaming just about covered it, but remember MAME's old ctrlr.ini files?  Exactly the same idea - wierd they removed it the same timeI added it  ::)

Here is the standard ctrlr file...

...and here's the doc.  The constants are slightly different to MAME's old ones, but you get the idea.
