Launching Project64 with Different Joypad Configs

I was looking at setting something like this up as the N64 has some odd controls for certain games and so you probably need about 8 profiles to play all games.

I am using XBOX 360 Wireless Controllers for all games so I have a Project64 controller config files for Goldeneye and a different one for Mario Kart 64 for example.

I noticed that after you load the controller config files it writes the settings into the registry.

I created a bat file that runs before startup "Lauch Before" that loads a specific registry file for GoldenEye and it works although the syntax is probably really poor (I am not a DOS programmer).

Essentially what I do is pass the [ROMFILE] to the batch file and if the file name contains "*Goldeneye*" then I run this command to import registry settings that suit Goldeneye:

Regedit /s Goldeneye.reg

That imports the settings into the windows registry from a previously exported Reg file and the "/s" ignores warning messages.

The registry key I export to the file that contains the settings is this [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JaboSoft]

I was looking at what "wahoo" posted on this thread and would like to do something similar with a batch file:

If we could specify more that one ROM path in the configuration editor for the Project64 emulator then I can just check the folder name and create a reg file for each type of game (FPS.Reg, Default.Reg, Platform.reg etc) and sort the roms into those folders.

You can specify multiple ROM folders for MAME - any reason why you can't with other emulators?

Or, anyone have any other ways of overcoming this problem?
