2Player Management

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.

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.
