Good ole Cocktail
Jkawch:
Hi everyone,
Im wondering if theres any way to 'flip' a vertical screen for any or every cocktail game.
What I mean is, browsing through the list, as I try out most games, the '1player' side in a cocktail game differs alot. Some games offer the 'flip screen' option in the dipswitch commands, while I find others do not.
Im wondering if theres a way to configure each game individually, so if its 1player side is wrong to me, I can flip it (if the game doesnt offer a dipswitch). All I can find in the Mame config is 'flipx' which seems to work globally, while I need it to work locally for individual games.
Also, Im using the 3dArcade frontend if anyone is very familiar with that, and know if i can set each game that way.
Finally, I searched the forum, and from what I read, my best solution would be to use 'advancemame'. Im just checking, hoping theres a way using regular command-line mame (or maybe through the frontend).
Thanks!

In mame use autoror or aurorol.
Jkawch:
Sir,
Autorox only seems to rotate the screen 90 degrees (making the game horizontal rather than vertical)
What I mean, is I want an already vertical game, to flip (like the dipswitch in a game like, arkanoid). I want to be able to do this in games that DONT have the dipswitch for flip. Im wondering if theres a way to do this. (Im experimenting with mame, and it looks to me a solution MIGHT be putting -flipx -flipy for command options, Im hoping theres an easier way/command to do this however)

What game doesn't flip that would be flip friendly?

Donkey Kong Jr?
** Space Invaders doesnt either I dont think. I doubt it, but is there is any way to 'add' your own dipswitch that would act as 'flip'? If every vertical game had a flip switch, this wouldnt be a problem, but from what i can tell, half face one way, half another.
