mamewah ctrl file and multiple keys

[papaschtroumpf]

default.in icontains the following:
MENU_LOCK         "DIK_1 & DIK_2"
LAUNCH_GAME         "DIK_1"
LAUNCH_GAME_WITH_OPTIONS1   "DIK_LCONTROL & DIK_1"
LAUNCH_GAME_WITH_OPTIONS2   "DIK_LALT & DIK_1"


I thought that meant that to lock the menu you needed to depress both 1 and 2, to launch game with options 1 you need to press left control and 1, etc...

This doesn't appear to work though, left control by itself launches the game, and I can't figure out how to lock the menu

Hmm, Left Control doesn't do anything for me, LControl+1 launches with the extra options as it should.

I agree about the menu tho, I think is is having a problem since both 1 and 2 are already used - the lock does work, try mapping some un-used inputs to it.

EDIT: nevermind it seems to be working this morning. I rebooted the cab but I can't see why it made a difference. Must have been operator error.

By the way, what the ctrlr entry for in mamewah.ini?

By the way, what the ctrlr entry for in mamewah.ini?

You can use different configs, just like MAME (or MAME's old ctrlr ini files anyway).  So you can have multiple folders within \ctrlr (eg \hotrodse or \xarcade, maybe I should supply these as examples), and also emulator and list-specific configs.

This is massively overkill, as most people will only use the standard default.ini...I have multiple control panels so I thought list-specific ctrlr files would come in handy, but actually I just tend to use multiple inputs within the same ctrlr file (technically this is slower tho, but not noticable).
