Was there ever any progress made with adapting SirPoonga's buttonX.ini hack to the latest version of Mame?
I have a 7-button layout and therefore have to remap the buttons for any 5+ button games. (Ex: SF series). Having the buttonX.ini option would make things so much easier!
I tried resurrecting the following thread and I was told that I should try posting in this forum.
