Uhm... as far as I know, no... At least no with a "default" MAME setup. Although I don't use it, I've heard a lot of wonderful things about Xpadder ( http://xpadder.com/ ). But if you want my opinion, it would be very difficult to change profile while you are gaming, i.e. changing profile "on the fly" while MAME is running...

Updated to 1.0.2! Added command-line args Yeah you heard right, the EXE now accepts command-line options! Here's a list: -reset Reset all user configurable settings to defaults -lite Launch GameEx Lite -login Launch GameEx's Login UI -timer {value} Add the number of seconds to the {value} switch [*]Added new banners courtesy of Draco1962 (launch form banner) and KRC (Help/About banner) Thanks you guys! They look GREAT! [*]Added GameEx Launch Mode Select the way you'd prefer GameEx to launch! Your options are: GameEx Login UI GameEx Lite [*]Added a Quick Launch menu Quickly launch several of GameEx's utilities without having to leave the EXE! Artwork Download Utility Setup Wizard Log File Viewer Plugin Manager Weather Select [*]Prettied it up some OK, a lot! LOL! I also updated the snaps to reflect the changes. Thanks, and enjoy this, the final release of a great idea! EDIT: Oh and very special thanks to ClassicGMR for the awesome idea!

+1 on Xpadder. I don’t think MAME has any native support for this sort of functionality, and as such I don’t think it would be practical to manage within MAME. (Note that I didn’t say impossible, but I think the experience would be tedious and frustrating at best) Xpadder will allow you to assign keys (like your P1 and P2 buttons) which will switch controller profiles on the fly, for any number of players. I think that would be your best bet. One catch to this method is that you’ll need to compile MAME to accept DirectInput, otherwise it won’t work (MAME only accepts Raw Input by default). It looks like you’re well on your way as far as compiling goes, but it will add a small additional step to your build. This thread will point you in the right direction if you choose to pursue this solution I'd recommend taking a look at that whole thread, but cutting to the chase this is what you'll need to do prior to compiling:

This project seems to have taken on a life of its own! This is an amazing little piece of code and much, much better than I ever could have hoped it would be. Thank you Adultery! Draco and KRC - sweet graphics. Makes it look pretty as well as functional. You all are amazing!

Thanks null Thanks AlphaUMi, Always love doing my bit for the community, I had a feeling that Draco was going to use some sort of rocket, so I chose a different path and went with something techno looking.

I spent most of the morning putting some of my media onto her PC, she only wants specific stuff which makes it slightly harder, I had to sit next to her while she chooses what she wants on there : As long as its Disney,Mario etc. she wants it on there, oh and some music (like Glee and High school musical )

Here is the new set of backdrops for Zinc. All named correctly. Shouldnt take too long to complete, Im doing these in the little spare time I have. ATTACHMENTS REMOVED

@Adultery: It was too short, bare, and simple as it was in v1.0.1, isn't it man? OK, so now I have a challenge for you: I WANT a feature that automagically turns on my coffee machine and makes me a coffee while waiting for the countdown to finish... !!!! @Draco & KRC: Really, both of you are very talented and imaginative! GameExLaunch is sooo eye candy thanks to you!!! Now GameExLaunch has become from being a simple, though effective, pop up window, a little useful utility that, keeping its original purpose, adds a little range of features... Great work guys!!!

Awesome work Adultery! This release is really cool! Also great work to Draco and KRC!

Great go0gly-m0ogly! Good job, Adultery!

Looks Great, Excellent work Adultery

Great job my friend! Keep up the coding.

Good one Bigby. I was just about to point that out. That green arrow is for jumping to the next category, everything is single page now.

Here's another 1 with Hanzel Extended for launch font.
