Input sorting please read Minwah

[southpaw13]

Can anyone tell me how to sort my roms by 4-way joystick or 8-way joystick.  I am using a vertical monitor and Advance Menu for my front end.  Is this possible or do any vertical FE's have this filter?

Thanks....

There might be a proggie out there to separate the 4-way and 80way games by the ROMNAME and you need to create a GROUP in Advmenu (named 8-way and 4-way) and manually put the games in the right Group catagory. Thats the only way I know how. Look at the example in the Advmenu.rc, it defaulted to some of the catagories I think like "Adult, Fighter, Shooter, Platform etc...". That should give you an idea how to add the 4-way and 8-way groupt catagories.

Dk allows filtering by control type as does kymera... if you need advanced filtering then you need an advanced fe.

My FE does it also....BUT...

The input info in MAME v0.84 seems to be broken (not sure about u1 or u2).  So joy4way games (& doublejoy4way) games are listed under joy8way.  See Lilwolf's thread here: http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=59850&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1

Well, i definitely want to switch to Mamewah someday, but you got to add the vertical modes...

Please,Please, Please...

Also, can I sort by number of buttons along with 4-way/8-way...

Thanks Minwah

MW can't sort on no. buttons atm, but I will be adding this, as well as vertical support hopefully...

My head is beginning to hurt from coding atm, so neither of these will be for a while

Thanks again...
