Multiplayer based on position?

[Slippyblade]

This is one of those questions that's bugged me for a while.  There are some games where the character used depends on which joystick is used.  Gauntlet, Ninja Turtles, Simpsons, etc...  How do you guys deal with that?  For example in Gauntlet, player one is Valkyrie.  The only way to solve this that I can see is to manually remap the controls EVERY time you played so that you would be the proper player...  But that seems like serious overkill.  Let me know if I've explained this poorly.

Thanks in advance,

You need to hunt down the 2 player versions of the games that you are trying to play. For example, The Simpsons, Turtles and Sunset Riders all have 2 player "clones" of the same game. I use these on my cab fine, although i am hoping to use the four player versions when i finish my cab

some games you need to get into the service menu (F2) and change it to the 2 player mode, some games have a different 2 player rom.  the 4 player verions are locked to a specific player, where the 2 player versions allow you to choose your character

I know what you mean.  I put on one of the 2P gauntlet clones instead of the parent because it lets you pick your character, and its not defined by joystick.
