create Zinc controller config?

[Tokey]

Is there anyway to create a controller config for zinc via notepad?  I've tried using a FE to define my controls, deleting all my game specific CFG's, etc... and that works to a certain extent but some games (NAMCO namely) won't accept my controls.  Anyone know if this is possible?  Or any controller.znc file that has the x-arcade defaults loaded up?  I'd program it to the mode 2 for zinc, but switching modes is too complicated for the 10 different people that use my cab on a weekly basis.

It is possible, but it's HARD. 

Download winterblast's controller plugin and it comes with docs that tell you how.

Arrgh... finally one I know, and I can't get access to my arcade machine to pull it.
I fought with it for a while, but then I found a fairly easy and quick way to do it.
I can't remeber the exact specifics, so the general gist is:

Get dafreaks Zinc GUI with the winterblast plugin: http://dafreak.emuhq.com/

it overwrites the default controller.znc with winterblasts.

Then launch it, and use the key configuration utility to setup the controls the way you want for your other frontend or controller(in my case it was Gameex)

It will create a new controller.cfg file, then in my case for gameex, I simply specify in the launch options --use-controller-cfg-file=d:\zinc\controller.cfg

It'll then use your created config template.

This is the way I created it this time, before i knew of winterblasts new controller.znc I created it by hand, I have that file here to if your interested, it uses zinc's default controller.znc. All you need to do is enter the appropriate key codes into the controller.cfg file and launch it the same as above.

Let me know if this helps!

(edit I used Dafreaks gui, not Aldo's this time, much easier....)
