Game description file available?
Rudi:
Is there a file, in any usable format, that can tell me the following for each ROM:
-number of simultaneous players
-number of total players
-number of buttons/joysticks/other controls needed
ect
I've been creating a spreadsheet with this info from the Top 100 on KLOV, but was thinking what I can't be the first person to want this.
The reason I do want this is so I can easily figure out how many buttons I need for a cab which will only have a few dozen ROMS, without looking it up each of them in KLOV. Also, I'd like to use LED-Wiz, or something like it, with translucent buttons on my next 4 player cab, and I'd like only the necessary buttons lit up when the game starts.
Thanks in advance.

No. This data hasn't been collected for every single rom out there, but controls.dat is the closest you'll get.

The control.dat is good. That will help.
Howard, I believe that PowerMame can use this info to control an LED-Wiz and light up the appropriate buttons. Is that correct?
