When playing 2 player alternating games, player 2 controls and joystick are defaulting to player 1's controls and joystick

[UndeadSoul]

Hi,

I have two controllers connected using GPIO and they both work together in games such as Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter but when it comes to games like Burger time where when it's player 2's turn to play it is making them use Player 1's joystick and controls. How do I fix this? It seems to only happen with games that are alternating between player 1 and player 2 (games that have to be played taken in turns). I have tried to fiddle with Emulationstation configuration but I cant seem to get these take-in-turns 2 player games to use player 2's joystick and controls.

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

@UndeadSoul It's dependent on whether a game was released with a cocktail mode eg the screen flips around and the controls switch
to player 2 inputs on that type of cab, for the games in question look in the dip switch options for a cocktail mode switch it on and do an in
game reset.

Keep in mind though cocktail mode requires alt screen fliping and inputs to be hardcoded into the MAME driver's in order to function
correctly and not all games as yet support it.

@UndeadSoul There's nothing to fix. That's how arcade games are built. Pac-Man didn't have two joysticks. Street Fighter did.
