Sasquatch5 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I've just figured out how to get dual screen working in MAME. Very cool effect for Run & Gun, Punch-Out, Gradius II, etc. The 6-player X-men is dual screen, but not the 2 player/4player ones where you can select a character. Anyone know a way to have the best of both worlds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 If you have the six player ROM I would think it would work the same as the other games xmen6pu is the name of the rom I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player 1 is always Cyclops, etc. In the 2 and 4 player roms you can pick a character. I was hoping to get the dual screens like in the 6 player version, but also be able to pick a character.

Lordmonkus Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 You would have to enable and use cheats to change characters in the 6 player version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlaryn Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Can anyone explain how to do this with enabling cheats? I have built my own arcade cabinet and it’s screen is wide screen so the dual screen rom would be great on it. But I only have 2 controllers as well.

Lordmonkus Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Go here: http://cheat.retrogames.com/mame_downloads.htm Download the cheat file that matches your version of Mame. Within that downloaded zip file there will be a readme file and a cheat.7z file, take the cheat.7z file and put it in your Mame folder along side your Mame executable. Open up your mame.ini file and make sure cheats are enabled. Load up a game and press the Tab key on your keyboard, you will see a cheat option. You can now select which character you want in the cheat menu. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
