Lists
Once you get your arcade machine operational, you will more than likely be interested in knowing (and playing) all the ROMs that will run on your particular hardware setup. There are a number of criteria involved for determining such lists: monitor orientation, types of controls, number of buttons, screen resolution, cocktail/upright, etc. Luckily a few tools were developed to assist in creating lists:
- A windows GUI based application that uses MAME's xml output file or controls.xml to allow you to create custom filtered lists of games based on your input criteria. (# of buttons, joystick type, monitor orientation, etc) The program can create numerous output files, including XML, CSV, MaLa gamelists, Atomic FE lists, and even batch files for quickly copying all of the target ROMs to your machine. Open source and freeware. Here are a number of tutorials on using ROMLister.
- This utility, written by Buddabing, uses a free SQL engine (SQLite) to create an internal table from MAME's -listxml output that can be used to generate MAMEWah game lists. It also can be used to generate batch files for Buddabing's MAME Movie Maker. ListGen is a fast, open source way to filter game lists.
Even with these tools, there are still ROMs which may work on your machine, yet not show up in the output of the above mentioned tools. This is because the description of a particular ROM inside MAME's xml output does not adequately describe all of the possible configurations of a particular game. One example is the game Blast Off. MAME's description and controls.dat's description is that the game does not support cocktail mode. However, inside the game's service mode screens, there are options to enable screen flipping mode between player 1 and player 2. (thanks to turbo6 for discovering this) {screenshots here?}
The following lists are of titles which support screen flipping between player 1 and player 2. Clones have been removed from these lists.

The following is a list of games that are simultaneous multi-player, and work on cocktail machines regardless of screen orientation. Most of these will require joystick remapping to properly orient the player's controls.
Gauntlet Space Duel Warlords Armor attack Blades of steel Demolition derby Eliminator Hot shots tennis Space duel Space invaders II Tekhan world cup Tetris (cocktail) Atari football Bad Lands Ironman Stewart's Super Off Road (+ Track Pack) Super Sprint Hot Rod Embargo Alien Syndrome Wizard of Wor Hat Trick Hockey Asylum (prototype)
