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.

No problem..
Latest version is in the download link above.
Hope you enjoy it. I used win7 64 bit to modify the original Malaori (for printer port inputs), so this should run on 64 bit or 32 bit.
Let me know if you have any problems with it.

DaOld Man:
If anyone wants to use this with your printer port inputs, I can upload the original MalaOri.

Edit: The original MalaOri has already been uploaded to the file repository.
The original MalaOri looked at your printer port inputs on startup, and based on horz or vert limit switch being made, re-writes mala.ini and then starts mala to match the current monitor orientation.
If you would like to try it, you can find it here:

BadMouth:
It works perfectly except when I run it on exit.
For some reason the changes just don't take when it's run on Mala exit.
I guess Mala is still writing to the ini.
If I run the same batch file a second later, the changes are made.

Launching malaori3 and having it launch Mala accomplishes everything I need though.
I added it to the few Taito Type X scripts that needed to relaunch Mala and it does exactly what I wanted.

Since my monitor rotates counter clockwise, it was nice being able to change the settings to still use 90 as a command instead of 270.

Thanks again!
:cheers:

On a side note, I'm in the process of re-downloading my video snaps in AVI format so I can revert to Mala v1.74 and be done with the other issue. :)
EDIT: reverted to Mala v1.74 and still have the issue. I guess my testing was flawed. :banghead:
Oh well, just going to have startcom rotate mala after the game exits and try to make a black splash screen to cover it.

DaOld Man:
Im glad it worked for you, and yes, I think mala does update the mala.ini file on exit.

TopJimmyCooks:
Ken, I would name my firstborn after you if it wasn't already 10 years too late. I am now using MaLaOri3 to change mala.ini to always start in the horizontal layout. I added calling MalaOri3 to my batch file written to always rotate to horizontal on mala exit. Thanks for doing that program.
