MAME Cocktail Cabinet setup

[mclarkin9681]

Hello All,

I am looking to build a cocktail style cabinet. Just 2 players (joystick on each end...not along the side). My question is regarding joysticks. Is there a list or spreadsheet (or a way of searching MAME) to find which roms use a 4 way joystick and which ones use 8 way? I currently have an upright acrade that uses the Mag-Stick from Ultimarc...that switches between 4/8. This works fine, but i would like to use just a 4-way joystick if possible...but not sure how many games i will sacrifice if i choose that option.

Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

You can use RomLister to filter out what you want from a MAME XML file, and then save it to a new XML. Be sure to supply the needed MAME support files (nplayers, controls, etc.) in the settings.
