Thanks Shoot! I’m doing a JAMMA conversion for my custom built 4 player MAME cab (circa 2006). I’m hoping that MiSTerCade might one day be able to support 4p config without resorting to additional USB adapters/encoders. I understand what Porkchop is saying about the lack of a 4p standard though. The JAMMIX board seems to be utilizing the full CPS2 kick harness (all pins) to accomplish 4p functionality in addition to the pins on the JAMMA edge. In my case, I’m happy to wire up 3p and 4p however I need to as I doubt I’ll be swapping in and out Arcade PCBs that often. There’s always room for one more “standard”Actually....
There's a few 3 & 4 player arcade cores and games on MiSTer - seven games outside of Capcom CPS1 & 2:
Gauntlet
Gauntlet II
Hyper Sports
Rampage
Snow Bros 2 (Toaplan)
Bullet (Sega System 16)
Dunk Shot (Sega System 16)
Captain Commando (CPS1)
Knights of the Round (CPS1)
King of Dragons (CPS1)
Final Fight Anniversary (CPS1)
Mercs (CPS1)
Muscle Bomber (CPS1)
Cadillacs & Dinosaurs (CPS1.5)
Saturday Night Slammasters (CPS1.5)
Warriors of Fate (CPS1.5)
Alien Vs Predator (CPS2)
Armored Warriors (CPS2)
Battle Circuit (CPS2)
Dungeons and Dragons - Shadows over Mistara (CPS2)
Dungeons and Dragons - Tower of Doom (CPS2)
Also, I think you meant CPS2 as a popular platform instead of CPS3. CPS3 doesn't have any 3-4 player games.
As it is with the current MiSTer hats (including MiSTercade), you can plug in two USB controllers for Player 3 and Player 4, or use a USB encoder (ie Undamned, Brook) to wire up your cab's Player 3 and Player 4 controllers.
