Summary 08015: chanbara: The left and right joystick inputs are reversed
Description In MAME the right stick moves the player and the left stick controls the sword. The instruction card shows that the left joystick is supposed to be wired to player movement. The game uses a pair of 4-way joysticks, but the MAME XML says Chanbara uses 8-way joysticks.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information Data East copied the control scheme for Chanbara directly from Karate Dou. They used the same basic chart on the instruction cards.

Chanbara was never released outside of Japan, so there is no real English version of the instructions. I have attached a translated card made from the photo of the Japanese original.
