<< < (2/2)

SirPoonga:
It's in the FAQ for controls.dat.  Documenting the controls used by games in mame.

ok, 505 game directly supported, 1044 indirectly supported.



chris, the xml file is broken, I am going to try and fix it soon.  Just delete the offending chars that are causing the probs.

Like Sir Poonga said, basically, you fire up a game in MAME, you can tell it uses four buttons, but what do they do?  That's what you use controls.dat for.

Also, eventually, it should be incorporated into a frontend, so that if you have an image of your CP and label locations for each button, the frontend will tell you what each button does.
