Title: 2ND Player Torn on Flip
Post by: mgb on August 07, 2015, 11:41:27 pm: I'm going through the games on my cocktail and setting them all for cocktail for flipping for player 2.
most work great but on a couple I've noticed that player 2 screen gets cut weird so it starts in the middle of the screen.
anyone know if there is a fix for this?
thanks

attached is a screenshot from Nibbler with this issue. Other games I've noticed with the issue are Pengo & Galaga

Post by: mgb on August 12, 2015, 07:08:13 pm: I'm using 136 and no art files for the game.
I'm planning on trying a later version anyway so maybe that'll take care of it

If I'm not mistaken, I think that was a bug in a couple of games in MAME. I seem to recall BurgerTime doing something similar to me. Try a later version.

Looks like that broke in 153, but I don't see a report on Mametesters.org. Other regressions with flipping seem to have been fixed quickly, so they can probably get it straightened out if you let them know.
