Hey Guys I've dropped out of the scene for some time now and have my MAME upright in pieces for a year now since my move. It's tuff playing in the garage. Now I want to start a cocktail cab and I've some questions. 1) can someone point me to a Win32 frontend/emulator of choice for a cocktail machine? 2) is there a place where I can look again at the complete list of cocktail games that i'd put in a cab. I've not seen any recent cocktail machines where I'm impressed with a clean classic design and flexibility to use the machine for other things like an browsing/email. I think that it would be pretty cool to have USB ports for controllers to play 6 button fighting games from the landscape side on. Thanks for any help. John T. |

You can get it to automatically rotate the game list when a controller (including USB ones) is touched on that side of the cab, so you can make a selection from any side. And it can change to the appropriate game list for that side too (optional). You can allocate a button to launch external apps like e-mail and a internet browser too. I don't know where you can get cocktail game list from. I just when through them and picked ones I liked [EDIT] I have a vertical monitor setup. Your Idea of having controllers on USB for occasional use on the horizontal side is great. I may do that for occasional use for when my mates come around to play some Atari 2600 classics. But probably wireless so I don't have to have USB ports on the outside |

You can try AtomicFE too. It have a Coktail mode too. (by pressing a button , the FE turn the screen in the direction of the other player, so the second player can choose a game to run too). You can of course, have selection screens configured for some game to use your coktail in Horizontal mode as well some other in vertical. |
