Title: Filter on the number of buttons?
Post by: boon_nz on December 08, 2015, 11:35:38 PM

Hi there,

I have a control panel with 4 buttons per player, and i'd like to filter out ROMs that require more buttons than this.

I have controls.ini and I can see that i'd want to filter on P1NumButtons. Is there anyway to filter on specific properties within controls?

I've tried searching myself but I can't figure it out.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Not sure the best way to filter on AM honestly...

I would think though seeing as how yo only have four buttons you could use ROMLister (https://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/) and create a batch file to pull the roms out you want (or can use) the only game that will show now are the games you want (and saving space) then use am to filter it further (clones ect.) That's just my opinion though and more work involved...
