I am using mame32 latest version and I am aware of the properties options for flipping and rotating, but how do I get the games to flip between player 1 and 2 during the game? When I set it to cocktail mode I get a split screen with player 1 and 2 at the same time... I am newbie, so bear with me. Just trying to build a 4 player cocktail for the kids(and myself ;D) for Christmas. I have almost everything complete except the wiring for the control panel and monitor mounting. Thanks in advance or any help! |

I know a lot of the games in the MAME version I have (.104) note that screen flipping in cocktail mode is not supported. I don't know if this has changed or not, but I have yet to come across a game in MAME that supports this. |

Thanks for the response...Do you have any suggestions? Maybe another frontend? I am new to this, and I am sure I am asking obvious questions, but my searches are coming up with nothing. I know there must be a way to not have to get up and let player 2 sit in my seat when it is their turn...? |

If so, how are you doing it? I didn't think basic mame32 had a "cocktail" setting, but other variations had a fake "cocktail" mode that does as you described IIRC. Mame and Mame32 won't flip p1/p2 unless the original game did it the arcades. Most games that flipped had a dipswitch between upright & cocktail. To get to these dipswitches, start the game, press tab, go to dipswitches, and look for an upright/cocktail dipswitch. (But as Dizzle said, some games do not have cocktail mode emulated yet even if they have the dipswitch.) |

While Mame32 is open...Right click on the game(pacman), properties, 'screen' tab, under view-choose cocktail... I am more than willing to choose a different FE. Is there one that allows the in-game screen flipping between 1/2? |
