Converting cocktail to standup

[deano728]

I have an upright and no matter what I do, I can't get Arkanoid in Mame to become a standup as opposed to a cocktail setup.  Player 2 is always upside down.  Is there a way to make it operate as a 2 player standup game?

There is probably a different ROM file for the Cocktail version vs the Upright

Change the dipswitch settings by hitting TAB in the game

I tired both of these and there wasn't any setting I could change that would make a difference.  When I go to the mame settings, it says "cocktail", but when I click it, it doesn't change it to standup.  I also checked all of my roms and couldn't find one that was any different.  Does anyone have a standup version of arkanoid?

use F2 and look in there something about  A B C

A=UPRIGHT 1 Control
B= Upright 2 controls
C=Cocktail

Something along those lines.....Nothing to do in the  TAB.

Interesting.

My "US" version of the rom has always worked fine. After testing a 2p game, i set the screen flip dip switch to "on", and it was then in cocktail mode. Unfortunately, no matter what I do after that the game will not go back to upright mode, even when the screen flip says "off".

So, I have no idea how to fix your problem, but rest assured I screwed up my settings trying to figure it out!

Thanks for trying Shardian!

I found this...  http://www.crazykong.com/dips/Arkanoid.txt

There is no ABC as was suggested, and the dip settings don't seem to indicate that there is the ability to change from upright to cocktail. 

I guess I am encouraged that Sharidan actually had the 2player working correctly at one point!

Try deleting the ini and cfg files for that game.
That might do the trick.
