[Feature request] Ctrlr file improvement #7053

@Immersion95

Description

@Immersion95

The ctrlr config file is a must have, it alone solves all of my controller config issue.

The only request I would have is to have a list (sort of).

It currently is like this :

<system name="sf2">
</system>
<system name="sfa3">
</system>

I have to create a section for each parent rom even if it's the same layout. I only have 4 type of layouts and creating a section for each of the parent roms is tedious. Doing it for a driver is not possible as the button layout is never the same for all of its games.

I would love to have the possibility to do that :

<system name="sf2/sfa3">
</system>
  • The separating "/" could be anything from "," to ";".

I know that I could create a .ini file for each parent roms which could point to a .ctrlr config but I really prefer to have an unique config file. The portability of this config is great as I use a lot of gaming machines.

I believe it's down to how XML works out for lists
Not sure if there are plans for supporting those.
