Best Front-End for 2 player split screen cabinet gaming

[tposey]

What are your recommendations on the best front end for a 2 player cabinet. On 2 player games such as fighting games id like the screen split. I cant seem to find any good topics on this in particular.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.

What is the goal of doing a split screen setup on a single screen two player cabinet?

I meant cocktail when i said cabinet.
So that player 1 and player 2 have their own screen essentially.
Sorry for the lack of clarification.
Thanks for the reply.

MAME can do that under video options.

He IS asking about front ends, not MAME....

As for doing that within a front end would 2 monitors be an option?

Mala has the option to flip the front end around for cocktail cabs with a button push.

I don't think there is front end out there that allows for a mirrored layout that can be controlled with either player 1 or player 2 controls.

Attract mode might let you do it since it uses squirrel to create it's layouts but you'd have to create it yourself.

I assume you are talking about a FE that will display to each player (ie. split screens) and allow either player to pick a game. As others have mentioned, I don't know of any FE that will do that. I know that some people have made some "cocktail" themes for HyperSpin, but that may not really help you.

Here is a video of HyperSpin Cocktail incase it is of interest to you:

Use Attract Mode front end and create a custom theme that has your artwork and list duplicated and flipped for the other player. Creating themes for this front end is easy.
