Agreed.

I'm all about things being easier.  Can you explain this?   I'm not familiar with it...

Thanks,
Rick

You just enter a game and hit tab. A menu pops up showing you what buttons to what. You can scroll to a specific function (i.e. button 1) and then push whatever button you want to control that function. Super easy, but I am not sure if it just a Mame32 thing or not.

mahuti:
all versions of mame work like this.

I'll give it a try...thanks!  I thought I was going to have to edit all the cfg files by hand!

It's easier to start with, and I did mention it in passing on my original post.

But I like messing with the ctrlr file instead of the cfg files, and learning how the cfg files work shows how the ctrlr file works.  Sort like getting under the hood vs looking looking in the manual to see how many horses it's got.  I'll help people interested in hand editting the cfg files with more enthusaism and details than people asking FAQs.  I'm not against people who ask FAQs, but I enjoy answering stuff that I enjoy more than other questions I'm not interested in.  But no, you don't need to hand edit them.
