vertical games
NAH:
I just picked up a gutted two-player coctail cabinet. ;D I'm going to make the monitor permantly vertically oriented. I was wondering how I can get a list of all the vertical games without using a frontend and sorting out all the roms. I haven't installed all my software or worked on much of that stuff. Basically I want to make a contol panel for my coctail that will play most vertical games and also look good. The cabinet is a tomahawk 777. Thanks
JoyMonkey:
You could use my vmame.bat rom sorter. It'll move all your vertical roms from your roms folder into a folder called c:\romsvert.
Or, the hmove.bat - which moves horizontal roms to c:\romshorz and leaves your verticals in your roms folder.

Thanks
I just found your list of vertical games.
Now, how about buttons
Who has the best control panel for a cocktail cabinet?
JoyMonkey:
You're more than likely going to have to build the control panels yourself. Unless it's a generic cab similar to Pac-Man, in which case you could just buy a couple of Pac-Man panels, have a few holes cut to your liking for the joystick/buttons and wire it up to an I-Pac or Keywiz.
Some places sell metal Pac-Man control panels that are pre-drilled to your liking.

The attached photo is one of their panels in one of my cocktail cabs, it still looks a little rough, but you get the idea.
