Title: Fix it felix cocktail mode?
Post by: abispac on June 29, 2015, 07:15:53 pm
So im building this nice cocktail cab with mostly mame cocktail compatible games in it ,and i added a couple of friendly cocktail games in wich i added the Fix it felix game as the wrapper that Mr. HowardC made it posible to play in cocktail mode, but i found one problem. The controls, It only responds to player number 1 controls and player number 2 cant  use the controllers to play, so i was wondering if theres a solution out there to fix this besides setting up the player 1 controller on both sides, as that lead to the player number 2 being able to move the gameplay and the same goes for player number 1 when player numer 2 its playing... Its there something out there that can be done to fix this?

Since it wasn't designed for cocktails, probably not.

I was thinking that perhaps mr Howard, can modify his wrapper and make it posible to add the controll keys for player number 2 in cocktail mode, if  its not to much of a problem, hope he gets interested :)

Well I can add it, but the reason I didn't was because the players are alternating.... you can just setup your encoder/whatever to have the same controls for both players.  If I get a free moment I'll look at it, but no promises because FIF was kind of a one shot project.... did the whole thing in an afternoon save a couple of bug-fixes.

Hey i got your atention, thanks, Hope youll get a moment to add the second player controls, as the cocktail screen rotation feature works just fine, right now i have both controllers setup the same and thats the problem with my kids, as they mess around with each other play when its not theyr turn.  :cheers:
