Using the cocktail mode in Mame. This will show the game both up side down and right side up. I'll try and find a screenshot

Nope, No third sides! I may leave the games in and if people really wanna play them, they can. I simply made a list of vertical/cocktail games that get the most play on my upright, and added a few that were horizontal that still got tons of play.

I'm still debating sticking with 8-ways, or just going for a 4-way dedicated joystick. I've heard of software solutions, with varying degrees of success. I'll likely end up ordering some Sanwas for this cocktail in the end, but these 8-ways will get me going for now.

I'll add that one into my set, thanks!

Yup, like i said, these are just vertical games that get a decent amount of play on my upright, with a few horizontals thrown in.

Added as well, thanks!

I'll dig around for this one, let me know if you find it first!
--- Quote from: zafdor on June 10, 2010, 08:32:33 am ---Comment about the 8 way joystick. I have an 8 way and set the default MAME controls to null the 4 corners, for games that use the 8 way, change the game specific settings to use them.

Yeah, like I said, i've seen a few software fixes floating around, I'll have to experiment, but this way sounds too easy to work right :D
--- Quote from: SlayerAlex on June 10, 2010, 08:46:30 am ---How, sir, are you expecting to play games like 1941 or metal slug on a cocktail? 2 players on the same side I assume? Otherwise 1 player plays upside-down?
--- End quote ---
For 1941, one will be upside down. For 1942, it rotates between players, IIRC.

There's also a funky tetris version for cocktails that does this. I should see if I can track that game down as well...

I thought you were saying that TMNT and The Simpsons weren't classics, and I was saying they were.

Lady Killer - it's awesome but it's not for kids. I really wish someone would release a clean version of this game - the gameplay is GREAT.

Agreed. I'd love to be able to play it without my wife giving me funny looks. :lol
