I'm afraid I've got to make another wish even before my last feature request has been added:
When using emulators one most always runs into problems how to map the controller right. Now with the Xbox 360 Controller (and in addition xboxdrv to perfectly adjust the controller) we're pretty close to perfect, only a pre-run-command option would be needed (that's been my feature request).
Another really nice feature would be a game specific pre-run-command, so we can alter the xboxdrv arguments (just an example) per game. That way the analog sticks could be reduced to four-way-only controllers in games that don't need diagonal pointing - this could raise gaming experience big times in some games. Further I'm in contact with the developer of xboxdrv to talk about possibilities to restrict the bad D-Pad to four-way-only (think of Tetris!).
I could imagine to have a general pre-run-command per launcher, which would be "overwritten" if another command has been set for the chosen game. I also think it would be more than enough if this feature would be available in the xml only - someone who goes that far will know how to work with an editor anyhow.
What's your opinion about that?
