Although I haven't checked in about a year, I doubt it has been completely fixed in that time. I manually found all the 4-way/2-way vertical games a few years back and posted them here. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=6716 There aren't nearly as many 4-way horizontal games, and even less of those are worth playing. --- End quote --- You were also missing all the 1942 games, This sorting is a real pain when the stuff is all sorted wrong in mame and maws. --- End quote --- 1942 is an 8-way game, IIRC... |

Well pacman is a No button game. --- End quote --- Yeah, I think MAWS just uses MAME's xml and catver.ini to give you categories too. ROMLister uses a combination of MAME+controls.dat+catver.ini. Controls.dat overrides the joystick/button info that MAME has and thus: --- Code: ---<game name="pacman" sourcefile="pacman.c" cloneof="puckman" romof="puckman"> <description>Pac-Man (Midway)</description> <year>1980</year> <manufacturer>[Namco] (Midway license)</manufacturer> <category>Maze</category> <controls info>numPlayers="2" alternating="1" mirrored="1" usesService="0" tilt="0" cocktail="1"</controls info> <player number="1" numButtons="0"> <controls> <control name="4-way Joystick"> <constant name="joy4way"/> </control> </controls> --- End code --- ok, that's kinda hard to see, but with controls.dat info injected into MAME's xml file, those all get fixed. 0 buttons, 4way joystick. Even all the 2way joystick issues being 8way inside of MAME's data that paigeoliver was angry about has been fixed. I'm not dumb enough to say that ROMLister and its input files are perfect, but it really will save you a ton of time from doing this type of work by hand. just sayin.... -jeff! |
