Vertical Games and Button Requirements

paigeoliver:
It is still the start button and doesn't need to be any button separate from that one. It would be one thing if the controls data was consistent about when it classified start buttons that do double duty as separate buttons but it isn't.

Plus, Toobin sort of falls into the "Funny layout" category since it just isn't going to play nicely with most setups.

Actually Toobin's 5th action button (throw can) doubles as a start button. So it is a 5 button game.

So are TMNT, Sunset Riders, and The Simpsons 1 button games since you use an action button as start? ::)

Toobin plays just fine on a 6 or 7 button layout...

Eh, the more important thing is that you still can't trust the info mame spits out. You can really call it a one button or a two button, but it should probably be consistent, either count the start buttons on every game or don't count them at all. Right now it is mostly not counting them except when sometimes it does.

Nor most of the info you spit out...

There's plenty of reliable information floating around based on original/dedicated games.

There sure is plenty of reliable information based on the original games. Can't trust the mameinfo though, you never could.
