Can MAMEWAH change my IPAC configuration on-the-fly?
« on: January 02, 2005, 08:20:56 pm »
I'd like to put some games on my MAME arcade machine (eg. You Don't Know Jack, etc), but they don't allow me to change their keyboard inputs (eg. they REQUIRE player 1 to pres 'P' to answer a question, etc...)

What I'd like is for MAMEWAH to load a special IPAC configuration whenever I play certain games but then use my normal IPAC configuration for the rest of the MAME games.

Is this possible?  If so, how do you do it?

Can't you just create named 'ini' files for each game and then enter the 'path' to your IPD (IPAC Config) file within the ini?  Think it's: ipc_file_or_path
