ninja baseball batmen is definately 4 players at the same time. I just loaded it up in MAME and hit start for everyone, its like TMNT style.

JamIt no problem at all.  You're correct that I added them cuz I figured it wouldn't make any sense to make a 3 player panel when I could just play them with the 4 player.  I just never bothered to post anything saying I had done so.  

Lemme ask, since it seems like klov isn't always necessarily spot-on accurate...is there another site that would give the same info they do, kinda like a double check against each other?

paige, so you think a 4 way isn't even necessary on a 4 player CP, then?  

Thanks for all the feedback so far.

If you can rig a dreamcast to play powerstone 1 or 2 on your cab it is god like... great game on a cab .

One of the arcades in Montreal  area (the 222) had  a showcase style using a projector on a 100inch screen. They also had Street fighter vs xmen on the same setup.  Awesome.

I need the gamecube adapter for my x-arcade cab for super smash brothers melee.

I'm curious to other 4 player mame game that are unemulated which are 4 player that are current WIP to get working in mame.

Nobody owns the plesure of tones, that belong to a guy with no ear.

What about Powerstone? That is a four player beat the crap out of each other game.
That was never in arcade form though.  

actually it was in the arcade, just only in japan =)


I've played Powerstone 1 in the arcade in the US.  I guess it was an import, though it didn't seem like it.  But IIRC, Power Stone 1 was not 4 player, only 2 player.  They didn't go 4 player until Power Stone 2, which IMHO is a much better game.

The first time I ever saw this game was in an arcade here in Dallas years ago.  It wasn't Japanese either.  There had to be an US release.

about the four player fighter there is one available in mame. It is Marvel vs Capcom with four player support. I remember playing it in mame and it wasnt simultaneous but it was damn cool. If you have played MVC you know the tag team format, well in this version it is 2v2 where each character is controlled by a different player. It was pretty cool and can be loads of fun if you have 4 friends to play it with. Anyone ever play this?

This is a good thread for 4-player cab people, but I have a question for the 2-player guys. I am trying to decide what to do with 4-player games on my 2-player cab. It seems like a waste to only be able to use players 1 and 2 and poor old players 3 and 4 are forever blinking, "Add Coin to Join!" What do you think? I am a bit of an authenticity freak so I have half a mind to simply not have the 4-player game roms in my cab at all. But that skips some really cool games. Thoughts?

Eric.

I just realized my post above might be considered thread hijacking... if so, sorry, let me know and I'll post a new thread.

I would say start a new thread.  No offense, I just hate fishing through off topic posts to get to the point of what I'm trying to find.  ;)

Don't forget...  Smash TV and Total Carnage are 2 player games that would play nicely on your 4 joystick panel.

This is just off the top of my head.  There might be other 2 player, 2 joystick per person games.
