Hi Andrew. Is there a short explanation for why I can't quickly edit the " *snes9x.conf.BBB*" file and change the lines
*J00:B8 = Joypad1 SelectJ00:B9 = Joypad1 Start* to something like *J00:B6 = Joypad1 SelectJ00:B7 = Joypad1 Start* to effectively test different button mappings? I tried editing them and popping the card back in the BBB but it doesn't seem to do anything. Does modifying that conf file require a rebuild to take effect? When do you hope to release the v0.5?
