I guess as I look through the mameinfo.dat file, I don't see any information in there regarding what controls each romset use. Where is MAWS getting their info? |

I noticed that about centipede and milipede when I was trying to find TB games.. How many other games are there that use a TB that are mislisted. |

Mame always lists the inputs in a certain order: x-way (single) joysticks, double joysticks, analog sticks, dials, trackballs, paddles, lightguns, and last pedals. I wouldn't be surprised if mameinfo does the same way (or might even grab from maws). --- Quote from: speedklz on October 21, 2009, 10:35:56 am ---I noticed that about centipede and milipede when I was trying to find TB games..

(had to do the find string by hand, though) 46 games (20 parents, 26 clones) have both a x-way joystick & trackball in listxml, but only listed as x-way in Maws. A few with doublesticks & TBs. There's one parent that has dial & TB in listxml, but lists as dial in Maws. Eight parents had analog stick & TB & list as analog stick. Included below is the output (edit: parents only). romlister find string: (joy2way | joy4way | joy8way | doublejoy8way | dial | 'type="stick"') & trackball & !cloneof & !('BIOS') |
