Ctrlr Files
Mamewah uses a controller (ctrlr) system as follows:
MAMEWAH will check for the following .ini files in the order below. If a given file does not exist, then MAMEWAH will move onto the next file in the hierarchy.
All files are searched for within '\mamewah\ctrlr\Ctrlr Name\' unless otherwise specified, where 'Ctrlr Name' refers to the name specified in MAMEWAH. Note that 'emuname' should be replaced with the emulator name, as used by MAMEWAH's ini config system. The '?' refers to the game list number, again, as used the \ini config system.
Ctrlr Files:
emuname-?.ini emulator & game list specific ctrlr file emuname.ini emulator specific ctrlr file ctrlr.ini general ctrlr file \mamewah\ctrlr\default.ini MAMEWAH's default ctrlr file
(if none of the above exist, MAMEWAH will exit)
