PlayChoice Titles
« on: August 15, 2010, 01:50:27 pm »
Hi everyone,
    I am currently upgrading my arcade machine to a newer 64bit system and have been going through my roms again. There are a lot of PlayChoice titles that I would like to play, however I find the 'split-screen' to be a deal-breaker. Is there any way on PlayChoice titles to get rid of the top half of the screen, which shows mostly useless information and play these titles full-screen? Thanks

Hit TAB, got to video options, game screen and change it to display main game.

Did it work for you

Yes, thank you. Its as simple as changing an option in the video settings. Now I can play some Nintendo classics on the arcade!

I should point out one thing to anyone else who stumbles across this;

While the above method does work great and you can now play some great Nintendo games on your cab, you are without the timer. Its easy to run out the timer on something like SMB 3, so just make sure you are giving yourself credits every few minutes.

I made a playchoice Vs system theme earlier this year. I love the Nintendo arcade games and I can see you do as well.

Setup is not that hard for the play choice games you do have an option for a smaller second screen as well to setup in mame.

Have a good one
