3 Sided cocktail questions.

[xtravbx]

I just finished my 3 sided cocktail. I setup MAME on it, have it running the MaLa front end. It works well enough, only played with it for a second.

I have it setup so the 2side (where you can sit next to someone) is player 1 & 2. The other sides (the long sides) are players 3 & 4.

Is there anyway to make it automatically know im playing a cocktail game, and make player 3 & 4 become players 1 & 2 basically, and just during the cocktail game?

Are we taking about MaLa or Mame?

On mame you can map the controls on a per game basis.

I use mala as a front end for mame. I'm very new to this, sorry in advance.

I don't know if it's a mala setting or a mame setting.

Would I have to go in for each game and set it?

Noted for interest, I'm going to be building the same thing soon.

Are you talking about controlling the game then it is a mame setting. And yes you would have to do that for each game (as this is not a MaLa setting)

Hit TAB when playing a mame game and options will be revealed.

Unless you are talking about the controls for navigating the MaLa menu.
