Hey I have a quick question..... Im setting up a mame cabinet and i want to add 2 optional console controls for games that play better with a controller. my question is...............is there a way that i can setup 2 different epsxe files (or any eumlator for that matter) with diff control schemes with diff launch exe's. I want to be able to launch one emulator for use with my x arcade and one for use with my 2 360 controllers any input would be greatly appreciated.....thanks!!!

Naming your Applications or Folders differently. For example I have 2 DS emulators because some roms work on one and some roms work on the other, but I can only "Open With" one program.
So I named one Emulator's folder Nintendo DS and the 2nd Nintendo DSi. I put a Folder in each Called DS Roms and the other DSi Roms when I'm on my computer.
For Example PSX & PSOne or PlayStation 1 & Playstation Uno

But if I'm using my Flash Drive, I would compress the File, and call it [DSi] Pokemon White.7z meaning the Folder called DSi is the application I use for that game. Though there is one problem I have to extract because 7zip doesn't have an "Open With" option and each computer I use doesn't know what opens up the Rom.

I use this method when I have a Rom like Pokemon which only allows 1 save, so I rename one of the Roms differently and the save file is name after that, problem with that is it takes up space. Its either that or I rename the Rom every time I'm switching back and forth.
