Below you will find a number of files useful for the running of all sorts of emus or emulation related activities.

 

The first addition are the Sidewinder profiles for use with Mame:

Note: Profile1 is only to help out people with severe SW probs. It has deficiencies as only one keystroke will be recognised at a time, i.e. moving and firing at the same time is impossible. You will also need version 3.02 of the SW software to use these. Get it from Microsoft These profiles also work with ZSNES and other emus, just make sure that the keystrokes correspond with the keys the emu works with.

 

Profile 1 (only recommended in emergencies): This replaces all buttons and directional pad movement by keystrokes (configure Mame for no joystick)
Profile 2 (recommended): This replaces the buttons only, the directional pad is left alone. Configure your SW as a 4 button pad (-joy 3 in the Mame command line
Profile 3 Sidewinder Profile for use with the N64 emulator UltraHle
Sidwinder Fixed Mame This is the fixed mame.exe file for Mame 36b1 which allows you to use the Sidewinder joypad again. Thanks to George Montemayor for the great work :-) The source is also available here

Useful Software (all of the below are evaluation copies or freeware. There is no pirated software here):

 

Autoinsult A very funny app that generates insults with the click of your mouse button. Very useful for retaliating flames. And witty, too, not just profanity :-)
EZ Macros This software allows you easily program macros for your desktop or any application. It can record mouse movement as well as keystrokes. The macros can be activated by a simple combination of keystrokes (i.e. Alt+S). This can be very handy for programming common command lines, URL's and links, addresses, etc.
Cute FTP This is a very good FTP oftware if you want to upload and download files and pages via FTP which is often faster than http
Awave A very handyutiöity to convert 100s of sound formats...including the Mame samples
AVP Anti Viral Toolkit Pro, one of the best anti virus softwares out there. Easy to use and update.
Getright A very useful software which lets you program your downloads.
Gozilla Pretty much the same as Getright but entirely free :-)
Paintshop Pro This is a very good Graphics software, I use it for all my rips and animated gifs. Easy to use and quality output. This is version 5.01
Powertweak A PC optimisation tool which will extract the best possible performance out of your system.
Winzip The most common file compression utility out there. You can't go without this one until all emus support zipped roms :-) This is version 7.01
Scitech Display Doctor This software includes lots of vesa drivers and more which will allow you to display those odd resolutions needed for some emulated games which your graohics card does not support natively. This is version 6.53, Windoze and Dos drivers included in this one.
Winrar Another compression utility which is handy for those large file downloads from Usent which are usually in .rar format
Zipmagic This program runs on your desktop and in applications. It will show zipfiles as folders and allow instant access without the need to unzip them first. If activated in emus such as KGEN98, which do not natively support zipped roms, it allows you to play your roms straight out of the zipfile without having to unzip first.
