==FAQ==
Q:DSPEC.INI
*Drop DSPEC.INI into the root of your filesystem, along with DSPEC.You can edit this file to change the default control scheme and files paths.
 
Q:Redefining controls within DSPEC
*Go into the settings and use the icon that looks like arrow keys.
 
When editing controls withing DSPEC you can optionally save them.
Doing so will create a file that pairs with the currently loaded ROM.
If for example you have chuckie.sna loaded, and save the control scheme, the control file chuckie.ini will be created.
When loading a ROM, if the default control file exists, it will be loaded and used.


Q:Rom specific control files
