Bug Description

With the latest release of MAME, controller type is captured in 2 fields instead of 1, as follows:

  <input players="2" buttons="1" coins="2">
                        <control type="joy" ways="2"/>
  </input>

The parsing done in filters.py doesn't look for the "ways" key and results in only showing "Joystick" instead of the most useful "Joystick 4 ways" required for switchable cabinet. In fact, in my theme (retro_1024), it shows "Joystick Eben", no idea where the "Eben" comes from.

Forget about the "eben" string, looking through the code a bit more I have realised that xml files are generated and the ones I had were generated on an older version (0.99) of wahcade which had that "eben" string in when it could not find the right key.
So the problem only lies with not looking for the "ways" key after the "control_type" one .
