Title: One for you Wizards, mirror and flip display.
Post by: paigeoliver on March 02, 2005, 05:47:59 am

In another thread someone mentioned how ANOTHER (unnamed) emulator runs horizontal games that aren't cocktail on vertical cocktails by splitting the display and having one display face each player.

I know one of you programming wizards could implement this. Unless I am way off base as to how Mame works I am thinking it could be done very easily.

You mean split the screen and display the same image on both side but one flipped?

It would be interresting for simultanous 2 players game on a coktail.

I think i could do that.  If nobody try before me , i will try when i will have time. Unfortunaly i'm very busy now. Too much to do.  :-[

You mean kinda like how tetris cocktail works but for horizontal games.

It might be possible to look at the pc10 driver.  see if there si a way to do what they did there but mirror the game screen instead of showing a menu :)

Paige, that is a great request.   I had never heard or thought  of this before.  sucks that such a cool thing gets to be on such a crappy product like UltracRade (dirty- I like that Youki)

I for one would like to see this happen.

if it never gets done, you can always mount 2 monitors (14") and just use a video splitter for it. Or 2 of this 5" Arcade monitor I just read somewhere in Buy/Sell or was it Greed-Bay ?
