Title: 4 way only
Post by: dbaleckaitis on November 02, 2005, 09:27:17 am

Is there a way to make a directory of games (roms) for just 4-way joystick games out of my main directory of games?  I'm almost finished with my tabletop vertical machine and would like to only use 4-way games on that machine.


Thank you,
Dan

Hi,

I think you can use some tools to classify your roms. like clrmame may be to do that.

Tools based on the control.ini file for instance.

If you want just generate a list of game using 4 ways joystick  and then copy it by hand. You can use the AtomicManager tools (provided with AtomicFe).  On the "Game list" tab (it appears if you check "use game list" on the "advanced tab" , you can select "Control.ini" on the combobox then on the second one select "Joystcik 4 way". And click on "Transfer category".

But i bet others tools more specific does that too and will even copy your files.
