GIMX Configurator, key codes & names?

I'm trying to come up with my own little config tool for Windows, basically based on the fpsconfig.exe. I'm making it in Multimedia Fusion 2 Developer (paid a hefty price for it many years ago so might as well try to make something useful with it)

Initially this is just a test to see what I can accomplish, for fun and all that.

First of all I'm trying to wrap my head around parsing an XML file (probably trivial for ya'll coders) but I barely know the difference between a node, element and attribute. Luckily there's a plugin that kind of helps with it.

But what I'd really like to know for the future, should the tool actually show some potential, is if there's a list of key codes and the names that are assigned to them in the emulator/configuration? I've been building a small list by using the sixemuconf to capture each key manually so far, but I'm guessing there might be a predefined one buried somewhere in the heap of source code? :)

Nice work, I love what you did with the UI :)

I'd like to recommend number inputs field for the slider.

I would suggest not to show raw config stuff to users, because it's the best way to make them mess with the config, crash the app, and finally ask for help for something they should never do.

Mhm, the sliders doesn't to decimals so I'll be adding input fields as well where needed.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Just keeping it there while "developing" the program, to keep an eye out for stuff being messed up :)

Thinks are looking cool, but I would like an Linux version.
