i'm not an artist but i'm pretty decent with excel. i'm creating a file that the user will dull in their controls on one sheet, then on the main sheet, select that platform to generate the below sample image. name the file, drop it in the pause theme "posterboxpause/media/controllers_overlay" folder and the image shows you your custome button layout.

after i clicked post, my brain said what you just said, but not as detailed thanks for the answer joe.

hi all, curious if there are "smart" pause screens to show controller buttons? i've seen a few that show an xbox controller but the images are static. if i have the buttons configured differently, then the static images don't make sense. is there anything out there that will go read a config file in order to show the controls as they are actually set up? thanks all!

thank you so much! lots to learn on this end. maybe it's NOT my cousin who's an idiot if i may ask, how many carts do you have for the aquarius? i'm sure it's a low number, just checking if i'm in the ballpark. thansk again retro!

you two are too much! thank you guys, sincerely! Machine is up and running and games are launching. was this machine keyboard only? i'm not seeing any joystick setups in the mame menu. thanks guys, again. EDIT: I am noticing games that have (basic) in the title aren't loading (mame tries to start and exits). is it one of these siuations where a basic cart also needs to be installed in a different slot? EDIT 2: seems to be tape images, CAQ's? i tried -cass in mame, mame starts, press enter to start, i get to a basic OK screen.

oh thank you joe, as always

thank you retro… retro saves the day, again!

anyone have any luck getting a cart or cass loading with a commend line in mame? im just learning about software lists, im hoping that will help. thanks for any input.

you rule joe, thank you.

hi guys, i have daphne games starting with .lnk files, that point to bat's for each game. i know i can turn off "pause" by emulator but since these games are starting via bat, there is no emulator to pick to turn pause off. anyone know of a way to disable pause per game? thanks!

well now your just showing off retro

fyi this did it for me. $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{A7800.EXE}}} } Add the following to the Exit AutoHotKey Script tab: Process, Close, {{{A7800.EXE}}}

i owe you bud, thank you

thank you my friend! i missed one, would you mind one more? attached. i really appreciate the assist!

quick update if anyone else runs into the xenia issue... this did it for me! 1. Check your emulators if they don't run with Admin Rights. Right click the emulator's .exe > untick "Run as Administrator".
