Setting up multiple Controller Configs per system (ex. Mame)?

[maks]

Hey guys, I have an arcade cabinet setup and would essentially like to run different Controller Configurations based on the game I launch. For example...

 

• 4 Button Controller Config - Run this config when 4 button games are launched such as Capcoms Dungeons and Dragons
• 6 Button Controller Config - Run this config when 6 button games are launched such as Capcoms Street Fighter series
• Default Controller Config - Runs this if any of the above does not apply

Anyone done similar? I'm pretty sure I can do this by making a new System and XML for each of the scenarios above. But I would rather not break up my MAME list like that. I'm hoping a combination of RocketLauncher and xpadder can handle it better. I see that i can make a profile on a per-game basis right now in RL but not a group of games. I'm wondering if there is a way to do this that im missing. Thanks!

I was helping someone with this a couple weeks ago. Here is the link

Thanks. Yes, thats pretty much what I need to do for mame at least. I'll check out the thread.

An update. This is going to work for the most part. I'm using the XARCADE_XBox360x4.cfg file written by AldousHxlE with Gigapigs MAME 1.70 setup. I found that the <system> section had to be edited. Systems were named neogeo, cps1.c, etc in there. I had to update them to their full names such as neogeo_noslot.cpp, cps1.cpp, cps2.cpp, etc. Otherwise the default controller layout would always load. I did not see this solution posted anywhere so i will leave it here in case anyone else searches for it.
