Title: TMNT - 4 player select/play on 2 player joystick?
Post by: tocheeba on October 11, 2014, 02:15:14 pm: I know this has probably been asked before, but I wasn't able to find an answer on it. I'm a beginner to the arcade cabinet scene, and as my first setup, I've stuck with a simple X-Arcade Tankstick setup. I have everything working fine, but for 4 player games (mainly TMNT that I've seen so far), I don't know how to set it up so that me and a friend can put credits in, and select whichever turtle we want - mainly because it's supposed to put credits in for whatever turtle you want and play that # joystick. So how do you guys do a 4 player game like TMNT on a 2 player joystick setup?

There's a clone rom that's setup for 2 players. I think it's called Oceania or Ocean-something. Insert coins, select turtle, cowabunga.
Oceania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania) = Australia + surrounding islands ::)

Here are a few 2-player versions of 4-player games to choose from:

ROM name = tmnt2po
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Oceania 2 Players)

ROM name = tmnt22pu
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Turtles in Time (2 Players ver UDA)

ROM name = simpsons2p
The Simpsons (2 Players World, set 1)

ROM name = xmen2pa
X-Men (2 Players ver AAA)

ROM name = gauntlet2p
Gauntlet (2 Players, rev 6)

ROM name = gaunt22p
Gauntlet II (2 Players, rev 2) ;D
