Use a 32" widescreen LCD and turned it on its side?
« on: July 09, 2010, 09:00:25 am »
I just got myself a 32" widescreen Samsung LCD for a sweet 250 bucks off kijiji. I had a revelation yesterday and thought why don't I put it in my arcade machine and flip it, giving me roughly a 26" 4:3 LCD screen to play on and the rest of the screen is hidden. Has anyone done this before? Is it  possible?

I know windows allows you to rotate the screen but would thier be any problems with M.A.M.E?

Just curious.

Thanks guys,

Guy Danger

I did something similar with a 32" CRT (that weighs as much as I do) but I didnt block off the top/bottom, because vert games look amazing
click the KI2MAME in my siggie for more pix

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
