MAME filtering

[Retro77]

Hi all,

I am using AttractMode. Despite using the various ini files to help filter the ROM sets I am having trouble getting exact results.

I intend to run vertical sets on 2 different cabs. One, with 2way and 4way games and another with 8way games.

When I filter by 8way I am still getting games like Pacmania and Space Invaders 91 as well as many others that I don't think are 8way games. Does anyone know a way of filtering the sets more accurately. I have tried a couple of third party programs and I am still coming up with some strange results.

Cheers

The controls MAME spits out are what the hardware supports, not necessarily what the game really uses.

There are so few 2 and 4 way only games compared to 8 way you might find it easier to tag them manually, or create an exception filter.

I started an exception filter. But wanted to check I wasn't wasting my time. Cheers Cools
