MAME Config Generator

[Jakobud]

Super old post but if anyone ever comes around looking for ways to generate CFG files for newer versions of Mame, I made a LUA plugin a while back that does it:

https://github.com/Jakobud/configgenerator

It will generate a full cfg file with all inputs and dipswitches.

Easiest method is to create some sort of .bat script that runs "mame -bench 1 <romname>" for each game. My plugin will do the rest.

Nice !
I have to check this, but I don't know when.

I bookmarked your Github.

I need some time, which I lack...

Thank's !

I split this out of the Config Magician thread since it is much newer. 

Thanks for your contribution!
