generate cocktail list in Mamewah?

Is it possible to generate a list of just cocktail games in Mamewah?

Not automatically...I think someone here recently compiled or linked to a list of cocktail games, try searching.

i posted that link - just wondered if possible to do it automatically.

BTW: is there easy way to manually create a list in mamewah? maybe edit an ini file?

also do i have to have the list of all games? suppose it is needed to allow other lists to be generated?

personally i want to only create lists based on controller  type, orientation and cocktail mode.

for example:

vertical - joystick (cocktail mode)
vertical - joystick (no cocktail mode)
vertical - trackball
horizontal - joystick
horizontal - trackball

this is because my cocktail cab has movable CPs that can be mounted on both sides of the cab (to enable play of vert and horiz games).

It would make it easier to select games suitable for whatever CP config i had at the time.

there is no "vertical - trackball (cocktail mode)"  because i only have one TB CP

any advice on best way to do this would be great.

PS. thanks for a such a great FE

I would have loved ability to dynamically swap between a horizontal and vertical layout though using a hotkey. this would be great idea for cocktail owners such as myself who may have controllers on both sides.

OK well I think most of those are pretty easy, using MW's Screen Orientation, and Input Type filters, but of course cocktail mode is not so straightforward.  I think you would have to filter 'vertical - joystick', and then manually pick out the ones with a cocktail mode.

You can edit the .LST files directly, but I think it would be more of a headache for you as you need to keep the format exactly correct.

As for the layouts, you can make list-specific layout(s), for horizontal or vertical...change lists and the layout (& orientation) will switch (assuming you have hardware or software rotation available).

I have ArcadeVGA card - the ATI drivers support setting rotation in the control panel. Due to the way that i have the monitor mounted in my cab (it is upside down) i have set as rotated 180degs.

i am interested to learn how i can make my display rotate 90degs when i select a vertical layout list.

is it possible to trigger and exe or bat file when change lists?

is there utility program that will allow dynamicly set/change the direction of rotation of the  ArcadeVGA's display?

If you create a 'vertical' layout, then it should auto-rotate, AFAIK.  By 'vertical', I mean reverse the X & Y in the resolution - eg 480x640.

I don't know if / how you would control which way the screen rotates tho...
