MAME Cocktail help
shredso:
I got rid of my 60 in 1 for my cocktail because I wanted more flexibility. MAME works awesome except for a few games don't rotate properly. 2 of the games I would really like to play, Galaga and Burgertime both don't look right on player 2. I've tried this on my cocktail and my upright and have the same result. Can anyone confirm that these games are just broken in cocktail mode, or is there a setting somewhere? Thanks!
Ed.

Try making a change to the dip switch in the game you want to flip in cocktail. Do not use the cocktail setting in the video attributes as it if for games that do not flip P1 and P2 in cochktail.

apparently these are known bugs. Isn't MAME great! :dunno
Perhaps using an earlier version/romset will get you where you need to be... I had to use two versions of MAME on my cab and it isn't even a cocktail...
NOP:
both galaga and btime work great in cocktail mode in earlier revs (like 135 or so)
I have had both on my cocktail for a couple years; (mine is an old galaga machine, so it HAS to play galaga!)
So you may get yourself into a situation where depending on the game, your FE will need to launch a different version of mame.
BobA:
Thanks for the heads up on on those bugs sometimes the latest is not the greatest. How do they succeed in breaking things that have been working forever in MAME? I have not seen the problem as I am way back at 139.
