Hi guys,

Some of the regulars will recall I've been trying to get GameEx running on a 3-sided cocktail, with the screen flipping at the appropriate time etc. I thought the new Cocktail functionality may be the answer to my problems, but it's providing it's own problems.......

Login to GameEx and the Cocktail mode is fine - I have split screens, vertical, and can go through the menu that way. I select a Vertical game, however, to play, and the screen goes back to Horizontal. Doesn't matter whether I select one or two players. Have also played around with the Cocktail dipswitch in the game itself - makes no difference.

Posting the log below if that helps (I'm also still lagging and have ordered new RAM, but if anyone sees anything in the log that may be slowing me down please let me know).

Thanks

Have you tried disabling the cocktail mode in GameEx and just worked with the dispswitch settings? If so, what was the result?

No, I haven't tried that - I will and will post the result. Whilst we're on that subject, when you change a MAME setting (such as the dipswitches), do you then need to do anything else for the changes to take effect? Reason I ask is that I changed a setting in a game I like to get 4 lives instead of 3 - but the game still only gives me 3 lives. When I checked the setting again, it said 4?

You shouldn't have to do anything other than change the dipswitch setting and reset the game as far as I know. I set games to free play that way all the time, and I've always done it that way and it seems to work for me.

Thanks, and by reset the game you mean simply escape and go back in again?

The GameEx cocktail mode has nothing to do with MAME. But still it is strange that MAME doesn't seem to be saving your settings. When you set an option or dipswitch it should save that data to cfg\[rom].cfg. So when you exit the game check the cfg file has saved the settings.

There is also the option in mame.ini to "savestate" so when you restart a game it will be in the same state. But you shouldn't need to do this to save dipswitch settings.

Ok, we might be getting somewhere here - does it matter where the CFG folder sits......I think my structure at the moment is something like /MAME/ROMS/CFG - should CFG be sitting directly under MAME, or doesn't it matter?

By default, MAME looks for these files in the cfg directory of your MAME install. They can sit anywhere you wish but then must be called by either the command-line or the mame.ini file to take affect if not in the default location.

Ok, I've made some progress - I've confirmed that the CFG folder sits in the right place, and I've confirmed that my changes are being updated.

Now in MAME, a cocktail game starts in horizontal mode, and the screen flips for the second player. So far, so good, except that for the purposes of my 3-sided cocktail, I need it to start in vertical mode - not horizontal.

Now to GameEx, and in Cocktail mode the screen is vertical and split - again, so far so good. But when I play the game, it goes to exactly how it is in MAME - horizontal, and flips for Player 2.

What am I doing wrong here? I'm not fussed whether MAME or GameEx starts the game in Vertical mode, but one of them needs to.....

Thanks again.

More progress! I've now got Mame rotating the screen to vertical. Pull the game up in GameEx, and it's vertical - outstanding.

Only problem now is that the GameEx/Mame Bezels are still there, so the playing screen is really narrow - I like them being there for the horizontal games, can I remove them for the vertical games?

Problem solved! As soon as I asked the last question, I tested it - and it worked.

All I have to do now is use CFG Magician to change all of the cocktail game dipswitches, and change the rotation for those games as well, and my 3-sided cocktail problem is history.

Thanks for everyone's input!

Great to hear! B)

PS Attached is the background to that theme with 'Press 1P to Start' removed. All you have to do is copy over the other backgrounds in the theme's folder (if you view the folder in Windows Explorer with thumbnails turned on you can see which ones you need to copy over).

Bit of an update to this - I used RomLister to identify all of the cocktail games that play vertically - around 470 of them. Whilst CFG Magician will change the dipswitch to cocktail, I can't see where it will change the display mode (I need it rotated 90 degrees clockwise for these games). Anyone know of a utility that will change a setting on multiple games all at once?

Thanks

In your mame.ini file set one of the following (by making it a '1' instead of '0') to auto rotate left or right

autoror                   0
autorol 0

Also I noticed your MAME Rom path is set to

C:\Emulators\Mame32\Mame_133\roms;C:\Emulators\Mame32\Mame_133\roms

GameEx supports multiple ROM folders separated by a semicolon but you have the same folder twice.

Thanks Headkaze - but won't changing that setting result in ALL games being rotated? I only want the vertical/cocktail games rotated. The horizontal games stay horizontal.

Good pickup on the double up - beats me how that happened.

The auto rotate settings in MAME only work for vertical games.
