On the arcade legends cocktail I saw it had a 25" monitor IIRC. On horizontal games that were 2 player (such as Street Fighter II), it displays the screen twice on the monitor. Each half is rotated to face the player. I think this is what MAME is doing now too, but I haven't seen it in action.. Here's a crappy ASCII drawing (let's pretend Missile Command is 2p simultaneous): --------------------------- I > I I <I I + I I I I > I I < I I I I + I I > I I <I --------------------------- Player 1 Player 2 I think the term cocktail should be used lightly with that thing. It's gargantuan (and ugly). I still favor the Midway design. What can you expect..it's an Ultracade product. |

so are you saying mame will have a function to split the screen for the horizontal games? How do I do that? Where can I find a such monitor? I went to wells gardner and I didn't see anything similar! |
