Title: How to filter games by the number of players allowed by each game????
Post by: jhsmith321 on September 08, 2003, 12:01:24 pm

Hello!! Does anybody knows if there is a dat file that will allow you to sort games by the number of players that can play at a specific game??? Example a filter for two players games (street figther, MK, etc), four players (TMNT, vendetta, etc). Or how can I acomplish this??? Thanks for your help!!!

I used mamewah to make a list of 4 player games and another of 3 players games, but unfortunately I had to add them one by one.  It's all done now though and I have had some good times w/ the 4 player games.

A little short-sighted-ness from me I'm afraid.  I should have included filters for no. players and a few other things that can be obtained from mame -listinfo.

I will probably alter the list format at some point to add a few things, although the controls.dat project may eventually create the need for a change also...
