In Reply to: New Web Page on displaying Arcade Controls mappings in a frontend. (FYI) posted by Tiger-Heli on 21, 2001 at 4:27 PM:

: I've got a new web page on MAME World http://www.mameworld.net/emuadvice/controls/controls.html to solve the following:

: We’ve all been there . . . Last week you downloaded a whole bunch of ROMs and set up the control mappings in your favorite emulator. Now you want to play the games again and you can’t remember which button to press or even how many buttons the original game actually used. The web page shows my solution.

: The image screen in the front end shows an image containing a drawing of both the original control panel (showing the controls used in the original game) and YOUR arcade panel (showing what controls are used to play the game on your cabinet/computer).

: In case you’re wondering how this all came about . . . LusiD’s web page on BYOAC had Word Templates for designing her control panels. I liked the idea and started using Word to design my own panels. Then I started making a manual for my own use. I realized flipping through a paper manual to see how to play a game was not what I wanted. Then I saw the Emulaxian front end and realized I could do it all in Windows. But Emulaxian was only for vertically mounted monitors (768x1024 resolution) so I had to find my own way. And here we are . . .

: I also would like to take a minute to thank Saint, Tom, and Prophet for maintaining this site. LusiD for the original Word templates. Bill Connolly for support when this was a paper project instead of an electronic one. Andy Warne for greatly improving the introduction. Emulaxian for the basic concept. The front end authors for making this possible. And everyone here for support on my arcade control projects.

: For everyone building arcade controls, this project is for you!
