      I frequently find I'm looking for games that meet certain criteria (vertical, 3 buttons or horizontal 4 button for example). I can't find an online database that lists arcade games by these kinds of criteria. Has anyone found something like this?

        @trey_mitchell this utility might be what you are looking for:

        https://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/

        It's has settings to sort by control type, game type etc.

          @trey_mitchell I remember seeing this on the forums. Think it might be easier to use than ROMLister. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7606/simple-arcade-multifilter-app-for-mame-and-fb-alpha-sets-get-rid-of-adult-and-mahjong-games

            @MajorDangerNine I don't think it will sort by controller type though but I may be mistaken

              @quicksilver Yeah, I think you are right.


              @trey_mitchell There's also this site. http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/lista_mame.php?lang=en

              It has an advanced search that might meet your needs, though ROMLister will probably get you what you want directly.

                Thanks for the tips! I also found this https://www.arcade-museum.com

                They have an advanced search that's really helpful. Just don't look for games in the "arcade" category use "videogame" instead.
