Just wondered if anyone has a list of directional maps for certain games. ie Donkey Kong has a 4 way directional map, Galaga 2 way etc. The reason I ask is I am mapping all my games with the Ultrastik. Thanks to all in advance.

RomLister is very useful too:

ROMLister is what I am looking for but I want to do it in the opposite direction. ie Put the name of a certain game in and get all the information pertaining to that game.

LEDBlinky will automatically map for you:

Some other apps will probably do the same. Mame's listxml also has the information built into it. If you run mame -listxml it will output a huge xml file that includes the joystick configuration for each game. Controls.dat exists because mame (being a historical representation) will sometimes list a control type that, while accurate, isn't as useful if you're trying to play the game with available components.
