Looking for a list or a way to search for games
that are controlled by both joysticks and spinners.
Tron and Crater Raider are the two easy ones that
come to mind.
I've tried MAWS to sort for "dial" games but it only
shows stuff that is controlled primarily by dials, not
stuff in combination.
Thanks...

You might suggest that to the MAWS team.

Mad Planets :cheers:

More of a clicker spinner but Frontline and Forgotton Worlds come to mind. Also, Discs of Tron.

MAWS is aware that it has a limit of one input type per game, and (AFAIK) is looking at adding ability for multiple inputs per game, and how to search for them. No idea when (or if) it will be added though.
Until then, romlister (http://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/) can do the trick of searching for combos of inputs.

Cool. I tried RL for the first time, and here's what it came back with. (also search for Rotary Joysticks, as I figured I would simulate this using my spinner and a stick)

On the other hand it found one of my favorites -- Crater Raider --
Funny, no Discs of Tron though...

I was trying Romlister out to see how my results compared to yours when I found some conflicting info. I found that Bubble Bobble II came up in my game list (among others). Digging a little deeper shows the listxml.xml file created by mame lists this game as having a dial"
<game name="bublbob2" sourcefile="taito_f3.c">
<description>Bubble Bobble II (Ver 2.5O 1994/10/05)</description>
<year>1994</year>
<manufacturer>Taito Corporation Japan</manufacturer>
...snip...
<input players="4" buttons="4" coins="4" service="yes" tilt="yes">
<control type="joy8way"/>
<control type="dial" minimum="0" maximum="4095" sensitivity="25" keydelta="25"/>
</input>
<driver status="good" emulation="good" color="good" sound="good" graphic="good" savestate="unsupported" palettesize="8192"/>
</game>
This was generated by mame, but I am assuming it is incorrect?

Can you switch between the two input types in this game?
(Whether or not)
Mame is as correct as the driver. Bubble Bobble II is in the Taito F3 driver (taito_f3.c), and currently all F3 games use the same input definition code (Kaiser Knuckle & clones are only slightly modified from the rest). So mame lists all 84 Taito F3 games with both spinner & joystick inputs.
