Hey all!

I helped a friend install the new JROK Taito board on his Qix cocktail over the weekend.

Everything worked fine (including the custom-made cocktail adapter from ArcadeShop), but we could not figure out how to set the game for cocktail mode (so the screen would flip for player 2).

We went into the service mode and found the "Table" option but it's a 2 digit number(going from "00" all the way up to "99"), and we tried several 2 digit combinations but could not find the correct code. Some of the numbers we tried would flip the screen, but would not do so until after 1 death for both player one and player 2 (and then the screen would flip).

And when the screen did flip, the controls were reversed (1 player would control the flipped screen for player 2, for instance, and vice versa).

And we even had the actual Qix cocktail manual on hand which did not appear to address this issue!

Anyway, does anyone know the correct 2 digit combination for standard Qix cocktail mode?

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem.

Thanks to Matt Majewski I believe I have found a bug in the JROK Zookeeper/QIX board. If you enable "flip vertical" in the JROK system settings, it will flip the JROK game menu on the monitor. However, it also introduces a bug wherein on Qix in cocktail mode the screen will NOT flip correctly (player 1 and player 2 both play and die before the screen flips therefore the screen is always wrong for both players the rest of the game). Will see if JROK agrees.
