MAMEWorld Forums - News - New included plugin: Input Macros

I’ve just added a new plugin that lets you create input macros. Besides the obvious application of cheating in Track & Field, this may be useful for making emulated games more accessible to people with disabilities or injuries that make certain input sequences difficult.

To try out the attached demos, extract the archive into your plugin data directory. Included are:

raiden: player 1 autofire on keyboard space bar
sf2ce: player 1 right-facing shoryuken using light punch on keyboard M
trackfld: player 1 sprint cheat on keyboard left shift
hotgmck: player 1 “punish” on keyboard Q (“pianos” the discard keys – it’s actually too fast for the key matrix scan to see every input)

(Yeah, I know there are issues with the selection jumping around when going from one plugin menu to another. That won’t be fixed for 0.237, but maybe one day.)
