You could do the same in Mamewah, John, and in the commandline to launch Ultramap use the [input] placeholder...something like*:
pre_emulator_app_commandlines c:\ultramap\ultramap.exe c:\ultramap\ugc\[input].ugc
(* I'm yet to use the software so might not be exact usage)
That said there is probably a slight flaw with recent Mame versions where multiple input types are held in [input], but you could get round this with some more .ugc files.

Minwah, does the [input] option take into account info from controls.ini or just the info from mame?

Well, I just wrote a small GUI that I can run as an external app from MameWAH. It accepts one commandline parameter and displays its contents in a label in the GUI. I can now check what the [input] variable is for any game in my game list by quickly pressing a hotkey.
Anyways, I am sure Mini is using Mame, since not all game are documented yet in the Controls.dat project.
Yes, the above is correct. I just tested a few games that are not in Controls DAT and they still display the inputs so they must be coming from Mame.

Just Mame atm...for this purpose that should be all that is required as the joystick types from Mame are pretty accurate now (I think)...

Why not just have it displayed in your layout, or is that too simple? ;)

Maybe because I was too dumb to think of that!
