Title: Need a list of games with cocktail mode
Post by: Popcorrin on May 25, 2005, 10:50:42 am

This is kind of a shot in the dark but does anyone know where I could get a list of games that had cocktail mode.  I have a cocktail machine and I need to change the dipswitches for all the games that had cocktail mode.  Normally I would use advance mame since it has a global setting for this but I can not use it on this machine.
Thanks

Do the game on that list differentiate between vertical and horizontal games?

First off, that's only .88 mame.  I am working on updating it.  With my old computer crashing I lost some programs I made to make updating the site easier.  I have to remake those.  With this new job and moving I just haven't had the time.

Anyway, about 95% of the cocktail games are vertical.    The two that I can name off hand that are horizontal are warlords and space duel.  Though warlord's cocktail mode was more of a 4 player vs 2 player switch.

As you see the list isn't that large, if you had some time get a hold of the listxml output (mame -listxml > output.xml) and search for the "<dipvalue name="Cocktail"/>" values.  Then look if the game is horizontal or not.  There should be an orientation tage for each game too.

You forgot one step there, SP. Wait 5 minutes while it generates the xml output.  ;)
