Yes it's difficult to know controls from the roms or even schematics, they are looking at things from the wrong end. They are much better with the monitor info though.
Try doing a power search on the klov for games with vert. mon. and then a search for hor. mon.

: : Mame is definately not the last word on type of controls. KLOV is better but it's not as good as it used to be.

: : Either look up by game or do a search based on monitor and/or control depending on what you want.
: Your correct about MAME. Galaga is listed as using an 8-way joystick!
: There was another site that I know listed the monitor orientation of various classic games in an orderly fashion, but I lost all my links when my Arcade Games folder vanished off my desktop. I guess I'll have to post the question at RGVAC.
