Summary06957: New feature, more custom options to be able to be used for list-menu
DescriptionCurrently each list-menu (drop-down) consumes a full Custom option
is there a way to have more than 5 list/dropdown menus?

in a scenario to assign CD32 buttons with a list-menu (drop-down) and we want to assign 6 buttons to a specific action, we are limited.
Add the possibility if we want to assign a 2nd CD32 controller for player 2

in-general the Custom options are too limited when using list-menus, unlike the custom bit X options
Can we have more custom options or some option that would allow us to have more list menus?

Thanks

Currently there is no way to have more than 5 lists.
What would you like to select when assign CD32 buttons?
There is the https://whdload.de/docs/en/opt.html#Custom option which has greater flexibility. Just see https://github.com/wepl/winstalls/blob/master/include/whdload/kick.readme JOYPADEMU.
I don't like to add more Custom options.
It would maybe possible to implement lists which use only a range of bits of a Custom option. But then these cannot be set manually anymore.

What I would like is to allow the user/player to select specific action or weapon for each CD32 button, (main fire would probably remain intact) + 6 buttons (Green,Yellow,Blue,FFW,RWD,Play) which can be adjustable from a list of actions provided by the slave developer, and if there a re 2 players we would need twice as many list-menus.

Practical scenarios would include games like "Alien Breed 3D", "Turrican", "Skeleton Krew", "Midnight Resistance" etc.
example:
"C2:L:Player 1 Yellow/North button action :default,Jump,Lightning,Energy line,Grenade,Gyroscope;"
"C3:L:Player 1 Blue/East button action :default,Jump,Lightning,Energy line,Grenade,Gyroscope;"
"C4:L:Player 1 Green/West button action :default,Jump,Lightning,Energy line,Grenade,Gyroscope;"

By "cannot be set manually anymore", do you mean they will only be available to be changed from the WHDload GUI and not from command line or tooltype?

If we enable bit ranges this would look like:
"C2:M:0-2:Player 1 Yellow/North button action :default,Jump,Lightning,Energy line,Grenade,Gyroscope;"
"C2:M:3-5:Player 1 Blue/East button action :default,Jump,Lightning,Energy line,Grenade,Gyroscope;"
"C2:M:6-8:Player 1 Green/West button action :default,Jump,Lightning,Energy line,Grenade,Gyroscope;"
Can you manually set C2 then?

I have added the bit ranges. See https://whdload.de/docs/autodoc.html#ws_config for syntax. Used bits at the end of the line.
