Please help with Mame32 player2 rotation

(1/2) > >>

calitomans:
I am using mame32 latest version and I am aware of the properties options for flipping and rotating, but how do I get the games to flip between player 1 and 2 during the game?
When I set it to cocktail mode I get a split screen with player 1 and 2 at the same time...

I am newbie, so bear with me. Just trying to build a 4 player cocktail for the kids(and myself ;D) for Christmas. I have almost everything complete except the wiring for the control panel and monitor mounting.

Thanks in advance or any help!

Dizzle:
I know a lot of the games in the MAME version I have (.104) note that screen flipping in cocktail mode is not supported.  I don't know if this has changed or not, but I have yet to come across a game in MAME that supports this.

calitomans:
Thanks for the response...Do you have any suggestions? Maybe another frontend? I am new to this, and I am sure I am asking obvious questions, but my searches are coming up with nothing.
I know there must be a way to not have to get up and let player 2 sit in my seat when it is their turn...?

It's not clear what game you're trying to play and how you're setting cocktail mode, but I think you're changing to "cocktail" outside of the game?  If so, how are you doing it?  I didn't think basic mame32 had a "cocktail" setting, but other variations had a fake "cocktail" mode that does as you described IIRC.

Mame and Mame32 won't flip p1/p2 unless the original game did it the arcades.  Most games that flipped had a dipswitch between upright & cocktail.  To get to these dipswitches, start the game, press tab, go to dipswitches, and look for an upright/cocktail dipswitch.  (But as Dizzle said, some games do not have cocktail mode emulated yet even if they have the dipswitch.)

calitomans:
While Mame32 is open...Right click on the game(pacman), properties, 'screen' tab, under view-choose cocktail...

I am more than willing to choose a different FE. Is there one that allows the in-game screen flipping between 1/2?
