Title: Need a website with a list of arcade game controls
Post by: Optics on December 16, 2008, 10:26:43 pm

Hey everyone! I'm in the process of adding a whole bunch of arcade games to my computer which i've never played before for my family, and as a result I'm not quite familiar with what buttons do what in the games.

Does anyone have a website that lists what arcade button corresponds to what control for individual games? It'd save me a TON of time testing things!

Well, I guess klov.com and groovygamegear.com are good places to start...

Not as complete as above mentioned MAWS (http://www.mameworld.net/maws/), but more detailed is controls.dat (http://fe.donkeyfly.com/controls/controls.php).  And maws is less complete than mame's -listxml output (maws only lists one type input per game, when a small percentage have more than one type).  Romlister (http://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/) can help shrink/query the listxml file.
