List of 4-way games?
<< < (2/3) > >>

Jeff,
ROMLister looks very cool. I want to give it a try, but I can't seem to locate the controls.dat (or controls.xml) file that I need. It seems that the original site for controls.dat is no longer around?

http://fe.donkeyfly.com/controls/controls.php

Is there another place to get the controls.xml file that I need?

Unfortunately I don't really trust the info mame gives about the games and anything outputting stuff based on that is outputting garbage. 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.

There aren't nearly as many 4-way horizontal games, and even less of those are worth playing.
NOP:
I've put the 111.2 version of controls.xml up on my site:

http://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/controls.zip

bummer that fe.donkeyfly is down. 

paige: yes, there are issues in mame's data, which is why I merge it with controls.dat, which is much more accurate (but not up to date on new additions).  I also merge in catver.ini, so you can then filter on the genre of games too.  Still garbage in:garbage out, but the results are not nearly as bad as they used to be. (that was 5 years ago)


Maybe now that donkeyfly is down, someone else (ie not me!) will take controls.dat under their wing and help it stay current?

mfc: good luck-hope RL gives you what you're looking for-check the tutorials in the wiki or PM me if you have any problems.

-jeff!

I'm doing the same sorting, and I found Maws not to be entirely accurate, it lists the Pacman games as Vertical, 4way Joystick, ONE BUTTON. Well pacman is a No button game.

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.
