| Rotation issues with WideScreen Computer Monitor and MAME |
| (1/1) |

So I checked the MAME forums and here and didn't find a solution that fixed my issue. I've got a 16:9 computer CRT monitor with -norotate set on MAME running version .80 (This is the catalog of games I have). When I run games like 1941 MAME words are upright but the game is clockwise rotated by 90 degrees. Before I used the -norotate clause the MAME text would be rotated too. I've tried every parameter I see in the logs but nothing prevents it from rotating. I've turned DirectDraw and Direct3d off and still no luck. Can someone please tell me how I can force these games upright with Black Bars on the sides? It's driving me insane!! |

Any chance you have intel onboard graphics on your system? If so I fought the same battle (need to disable autorotate in the intel graphics driver), here's the background post for you: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=90848.msg954007#msg954007 Hope this helps |

Brilliant! I'm using a GeForce AGP card but the onboard Intel drivers were definitely installed as I was swapping stuff in and out. When I get home I'll log onto it and do the steps you outlined in that thread and hopefully it will work as expected!! |

Okay so here's what I did: * Uninstalled Intel Drivers * Rebooted * Tried again but no success * Removed GeForce card from AGP slot * Reinstalled Intel drivers * Disabled Rotation in Intel drivers menu * Rebooted computer * Removed the -norotate from MAME.INI And now it works like a champ! |
