Do you really want to have 726 games in your cocktail cabinet? My suggestion would be to put only those games in there you want but not more than 100, configure them and leave it be. No need to keep updating with future releases. Then build a stand up cabinet and put other games in there that aren’t in your cocktail. Then how about a bartop cabinet with some very simple controls. Then a driving cabinet… ;)
: I also posted this on the mame.net messageboard in addition to AGM:
: Is there a way to make MAME default into cocktail mode instead of upright mode as it currently does?
: I've looked at the code and it appears that though I would have to perform something on the order of 726 edits to default each game to cocktail mode! Ack -- then I would have to reapply the edits after every release! My scripting skills are not up to snuff, so I would have to make those edits by hand.
: So, outside of configuring each game manually, or makeing 726 code edits, is there a way to default each game to use cocktail mode by default?
: Thanks
