Cocktail Games that has a working screenflip..

<< < (2/2)

Howard_Casto:
I've learend a lot from the controls.dat project.  One of the things I've learned is that if a game is alternating play it already has cocktail mode or at least screenflipping in the dip settings.  If it's not alternating play then flipping the screen won't do a bit of good.  So yes you can manually flip the screen as you suggested, but if it's a game that would be playable using that method then there's a 99.99% chance it already has flipping or cocktail support.  

Trust me, I know these things.  :)

I had started a project to make a small scale MAME cocktail machine some months ago utilising a notebook and whilst looking for a suitable FE found ArcadeOS will screen flip any game you like at the press of a button (or button combo) by player 1 before and after player 2's turn (so a manual flip).  I am assuming it also transfers the controls from player 1 to 2 as well as I can't see how it would work otherwise due to most vertical games using the same controls for players 1 & 2.

Other than that there aren't all that many games that support cocktail mode and I couldn't find a definitive list so just went through each of my favourite games individually and deleted those that didn't have a cocktail mode.

Sorry guys, my mistake.  :-[ (It might have to do with my written english  ;D)
I was looking for a program to sort out games that have a real cocktail mode.

Looking into Arkanoid the other day, I'll found out that it did not have a dipswitch setting for upright/cocktail.

I was planning on a cocktail cab, but I'll guess I have to build an upright one like the Ms Pac-man version.

As I do have a lot of time to spare, I can look into every vert. game, but It would have been nice to have a program doing the job. I can't build any cab's at the moment due to illness, and I might even have to wait until the end of february 05 before I can start. :'( :'(

Anyway, thanx for the reply  :D

Bootleg arkanoids will screenflip as will the Tournament Arkanoid (or whatever the name is).
