Cocktail Mame
« on: July 14, 2003, 11:00:44 pm »
Hey everyone,
I've just about finished the Ms. Pacman - themed cocktail cabinet for my sister, The problem is: I don't want to go through 3000+ games and flip the cocktail switch for each. Is there a version of Mame built for coctkail cabinets? I know there was a post back in December for the "cocktailizer" patch for mame, except the link seems to be dead now. Did anyone download this patch? Any Help would be appreciated.

From what I heard that patch wasn't super good to begin with.  Here's an alternative since I know you can actually code.  ;)

You could look though the config files of each game for the hex text string "cocktail" or "cocktail mode" and change the 0's to 1's

Hey Howie,
I'm not quite sure what you're referring to, I took a look at a few cfg files, and I didn't see anything that looked like "cocktail". Unless I'm mistaken, cfg file aren't generated unless you make changes to the key mappings or dip switches.
I was browsing through the source for MAME, and I'm not sure if I see a pattern, some game drivers have a gamename_cocktail_flip variable defined, but not all of them.
Any second opinions?
