Ctrlr File ini2cfg Converter
=============================

This app is pretty much set and forget....
It converts a folder full of pre .84 ctrlr files into a single post .84 cfg file.
Set the path, press the button and you are done.  


Some things of Note:
====================

The old ini files are parsed manually so they should convert fine barring you used the correct ctrlr syntax and started any
comments with a "#" at the BEGINNING of the line.  Improper syntax could create undesired results.  

The original folder isn't deleted.  I did this because it's easier to make an old ini file and convert it then to muck around
with xml, and you might wish to keep the old files for other reasons. Personally, unless I need the extra functionality that
the new format provides, I will continue to write new ctrlr files in the old format and convert them. 

In the old ctrlr files you could pass mame flags like:
(mouse		1)  
You can't in this version.  I turn those old tags into comments in the new cfg file.  Also be aware that any comments in your
old ctrlr files are transferred to the new.  


One last thing.   The way you were SUPPOSED to use the old files was to make a folder in your ctrlr folder
(like "RagingDragon") and place in that folder your default.ini along with any driver, parent or game specific ini files.
You then set the "ctrlr" flag in mame to the name of the folder and it automatically loads ini files as needed.  If you 
weren't doing that then you were using them the wrong way.  I bring this up because in order for the converter to properly 
make a multi-game cfg file the files have to be arranged that way.  

USING THE CONVERTER ON THE ROOT OF MAME'S "CTRLR" folder WILL ONLY CAUSE ERRORS.  YOU MUST POINT IT TO A PROPER CTRLR 
SUB-FOLDER LIKE "HOTROD"
