I am sorry but the MAME listinfo doesn't contain that information. I have to search KLOV my self as a complement. The information in listinfo is a bit problematic from time to time. Take the following example:
Tron in listinfo = dial
Tron in KLOV = Rotary: Optical + Joystick: 8-way with button.
And there is more examples:
Ikari Warriors in listinfo = dial
Ikari Warriors in KLOV = Joystick: 8-way Rotary
So listinfo is not allways enough. Most games are ok but games with special control setup has to be chacked aginst KLOV if you want to know how the original arcade game was setup.
The listinfo information will only tell you how MAME is configured to handle the game. So it's natural that it is "dial" and not "8-way rotary joysticks" since Allegro only know a dial for optical input and nothing about 8-way rotary joysticks...

: Thanks for the update to a GREAT tool !
: Is there anyway to display, for games with 2+ players, whether the players are alternating, simultaneos cooperative, or simultaneos competing ?
: This is something I researched for about 100 games at KLOV and put in a MS Access database as it impacted cp design decisions.
