    Controls.xml

    Hey guys, Yeah, the site needs updating. I haven't done much updating because people have stopped helping out. I will try to update the game list to the current mame soon. Did they fix Asteroids in mame? The reason it is mapped to joystick is mame mapped it to a joystick. Controls.dat was made under the assumption that you will query mame what controls it uses and then use the dat file to label the controls. That's why airbustr has two buttons. If you query mame it will return that the game has two buttons. If you want to label them both then will know how to label them. It's a balance between being accurate to what was on the control panel and to what is in mame. If games need updating by all means use the update form. We require proof that the information is accurate. If it is something like Asteroids and they switched the controls in mame just say mame changed. I can look that up in mame. I see Spy Hunter is in the queue, the problem is the dude didn't provide proof that is proper labels. before I accept a submission I check the source to see it's legit and then I look at mame to make sure the controls mame lists are mapped. You know what I should allow to the public. I made some special functions for the add and update form for HowardC and me. We can copy an existing submission. We didn't add that functionality for public use because we knew people would get lazy and not verify stuff after they copied something. however, it is useful to add mahjong games.
