Help finding a website for arcade controls
« on: June 18, 2008, 05:46:49 pm »
I used to have a site bookmarked that allowed you to select the number of players, buttons, type of joystick/trackball etc... and it would then show you what games could be played with that set up. I think it was pretty basic with black text on a white background. I was wondering if anyone knows the url/name of  the site.

Thanks

MAWS is likely what you are looking for.

Maws is not it but that may come in handy, thanks

it allowed you to also search buttons, players with greater than, less than, or  equal to a specific number

Well, besides MAWS, OTTOMH there's:

- ROMlister  (awesome query builder app, but not on line)
- controls.dat  (more detailed than MAWS, and data can be used with ROMlister, but not complete.  see reports for online search, or downline to was with ROMlister)
- WestControls  (sells the controls it says works with the games, so check with the others to verify IMO.  But great one-spot search-&-buy if that's what you want)

Cool - never heard of Westcontrols. I'll definitely mess around there. And Wow - $624 for a Star Wars yoke?

Yeah, I initially looked them up a few years ago. I don't know who they're selling to with some of those prices.
