Getting consoles to work in a cocktail table.


Recommended Posts

I posted this in the newbie forum, but might be a bit complicated for there, do asking here.'Ive got a 1up pacman cocktail table for a good price cheap.

I've replaced the monitor and put bigger screen in, along with an old pc I had laying around.

I've installed big box, and am using mame to run in cocktail mode, which copies and flips the screen so both players can play each other head to head.

Aside from still fiddling around with the controls I'm happy with the setup.

However I was hoping to get consoles running the same way, obviously I can play them from my position, however the 2nd player can't see it controls the game upside down.

 

Are there any way to get ( I assume it's retroarch ) to split and mirror the screen to get the same result as I get with mame?

 

I did initially do the setup with a pi, and used a cocktail shader, it did actually work but I wasn't happy with the results as pic quality , delay and frame rate were terrible, hence why I switched to pc.

 

However I don't think the Linux based shaders are compatable with windows as retroarch doesn't see the cocktail shader in the list.

 

Anyway, any advice anyone can give, thanks
