easiest way to search games by orientation *and* control type?
« on: April 03, 2006, 12:45:24 pm »
any suggestions how I can make a list of games that are vertical orientation & trackball
vs
vertical & spinner
?

Mame32 didn't seem capable and KLOV.com won't let me search by orientation.

Can Mamewah?

I'm trying to determine whether I want to include trackball or spinner or both on my vert cab.

thanks!

I ran a ListGen inquiry.

In MAME v0.104, there are 49 vertical trackball games and 129 vertical spinner games. This includes clones.

Excluding clones there are 55 vertical spinner games and 31 vertical trackball games.

any chance you could list how many horizontal trackball and spinner games?
and maybe horizontal and vertical games that use 4, 8, 16 and 49 way joysticks?
I think this could be very useful to a lot of people and maybe have it as a sticky or in the FAQ

60 horizontal trackball games (not including clones)
127 horizontal trackball games including clones
105 horizontal spinner games not including clones
224 horizontal spinner games including clones

For the rest, I prefer that you use ListGen yourself. Teach someone to fish and all that.
