Many people save space by making their MAME cabinets with only enough controls for two players. But there are many 3-player and 4-player games which can be utilized on such a system, either by changing a software setting, using a mame rom clone, or by simply ignoring the extra player features. The following is a list of games that can be utilized in such a way.
Note: All these games are current as of MAME version .135. Future versions may change clone names, add in new options, etc.
Dip switches
The Dip Switches menu in mame represents physical toggle switches in a real arcade cabinet, which the owner could gain access to by opening a panel. To change dip switch settings, simply hit Tab in MAME, and use the arrow keys to navigate to the Dip Switches menu.
The following games can be put in a two-player mode by using this menu:
- B. Rap Boys
- Blazing Tornado (must choose 'vs.' mode or 'team' mode)
- Bomber Man World
- Bucky O'Hare
- Crypt Killer
- Desert Breaker
- Dynablaster / Bomber Man
- Grudge Match
- Hit the Ice
- King of Dragons, The
- Knights of the Round
- Mercs (Also need to set coin chutes to 1)
- Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
- NBA Jam
- NBA Jam TE
- NFL Blitz '99
- NFL Blitz 2000 Gold Edition
- Paddle Mania (Set 'match type' to 'A to C')
- Revolution X
- Rim Rockin' Basketball
- Snow Bros. 2
- Stone Ball
- Super High Impact
- Super Slam
- Trog
- Turbo Force
- U.S. Championship V'ball
- Warlords
- Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa
- WWF WrestleFest
Service Menu
The Service Menu can be accessed by hitting the F2 key in most games. (Some newer games require you to hold F2 for several seconds.) This brings up the game's configuration screen, where game options can be changed, as well as performing input and output calibrations.
The following games can be put in a two-player mode by using this menu:
- Arabian Fight
- Armored Warriors
- Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
- Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom
- Dunk Mania
- Gauntlet Legends
- Gauntlet Dark Legacy
- Knuckle Heads
- Muscle Bomber Duo
- Numan Athletics
- Ring Rage
- Saturday Night Slam Masters
- Spider-Man: The Videogame
- Super World Court
- Warriors of Fate
- Wayne Gretzky's 3d Hockey
- World Beach Volley
2-player Clones
If no Dip Switch or Service Menu changes enable a 2-player mode, your next recourse is use a clone of the game that is a 2-player version. Remember that for the game to work, you'll need roms for both the parent and the desired clone.
