Cocktail Monitor setup and software

Hey Guys,

I was over my buddy's house and he had an arcade legend cocktail.  Obviously, it is too pricey and limited game selection.   I got me thinking having a cocktail arcade can be cool.  Head to Head game and beer on the table, blah blah blah.  I have a couple question about building your own cocktail.

1.  What is the best monitor to get? the one that comes with arcade legend is not a regular size monitor.  Where can I get the same one?

2.  One thing I like about cocktail when you are playing head to head game, the screen will split, so player will have their own screen.  When you play games that 2 players don't play together.  The screen will rolate 180" degree to the player.   What do I need to do that? do i need a special hardware and software?

Please advise!

Jeff

1. Dunno what type monitor is in there.

2. Thats what COCTAIL is about. The games flip for the second player when its player's 2 turn. This can be enabled thru the COCKTAIL switch(TAB/CABINET) in the emulator like MAME. Keep in mind that some games don't support this, and some games you need to use F2 and look for setting about CAOCKTAIL settings ( mode A, B, C)etc..

Do you know anything about the split screen?

There was a unoffical version of MAME that I've seen before, forgot what it was called (SplitMAME) ??  :dunno

By split screen do you mean "cocktail" mode in Mame's new video options?
