Software problems or glitches after adding rotation?

DaOld Man:
There are two (or maybe 4, I will have to double check, its been a while) sections of the mala.ini that my program changes to get correct orientation. Its pretty simple to open the ini file as a text file, change the settings, then re-save it.
That way everything is saved and Mala starts as it normally would.

Just realized that since I'm playing a video at startup, the screen does need to be horizontal on startup every time.
Could you give me an example of how to change individual lines via batch file?
Pretty please? :angel:

DaOld Man:
Well, Im not sure about doing it with a bat file, I have although changed my program to allow you to do it from a bat file. (Run or call this program with desired argument form your bat file.)
The name of the program is malaori3.
You will need to run this file instead of mala.
This file will start mala in the orientation that you pass to it via an argument.
Example:
malaori3 90 will start mala in the 90 degree orientation.
You will need to run setup first by starting malaori3 (malaori3 with no argument will start the setup program.) Examples: malaori3 malaori3.exe or double click on malaori3 icon.
After you run setup, next time run malaori3 90 to start mala in 90 degree orientation, malaori3 0 for 0 orientation, etc.
A couple of screenshots of the setup mode below, and malaori.zip file.
This is beta mode only, please let me know if you have any issues.

Edit: modified program to allow user to just change the mala.ini file and not start mala.
Latest program is below, plus new screen shot showing modification.
Enjoy!

DaOld Man:
I have just modified malaori3 to allow you to use it to only change the mala.ini file and not run mala.
I was thinking this may be what you really need, if so let me know I will post it.

Sweet! I will set it up and test tonight.
I'd like the other version too if it's already created since it might work out better to make the changes on exit.

Some of the Taito Type X games (which originally ran on embedded xp) won't run if Mala is running,
so I have an autohotkey script that kills mala, then restarts it on game exit.
This will fix the orientation issue for those also.

I really appreciate it.
