Change default player one position in cocktail mode?
gonzobrian:
Is it possible to change the default player one positon from the right side of the cabinet to the left?
I am finishing up a 3 control panel cocktail cab and facing the front of the cabinet player one defaults to the right CP. Was this normal in the original cocktail cabs?
RayB:
Well, original cocktails didn't have controls on three sides. Maybe you put the side controls on the wrong side?

I think that was a joke but again it has been a long day and will be a long night. From my memory of being a kid in the 80's I knew I never saw a 3 CP cocktail. I just described my cab so that I was clear in what I was asking about the side CP's.
Actually I remember the last time I played a cocktail cab. I was in the Boy Scouts on my way to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. We stoped at a Pizza Hut and we all had a go at Pacman. ;D
Boy those were the days.

For the affected vertical games, simply flip the screen in MAME (technique depends on version used and there are those better versed than I in the details).
Cheers.

Cool thanks CheffoJeffo. I'm using Mame .85. I don't know if I was clear. I can run vertical games vertically, and horizontal games horizontally, but I want to flip cocktail games so that player one is sitting on the left side of the cabinet.
Are you saying that there is a way to change this in Mame without altering the orientation of my 3 CP?
Thanks,
