| Widescreen monitor in vertical orientation ... how do you like it? |

Look into modifying the art and layout (.lay) files. You can find some basic info and links here and at the end of the FAQ on Mr. Do's site. Scott |

I'm very interested in doing the same on my 2 player upright.. I currently have a 19" 4:3 monitor, and I rather want a 22"-23" 16:9 installed vertical, to have the pinball option.. Can you have per game settings in MAME (resolution wise)? something that changes the screen resolution to match on vertical games? |

I had looked at creating layout files, and I think you can create different layout files for vertical and horizontal games, but there were some things that I wasn't sure I could accomplish with layout files. It is possible that I just wasn't getting how to make a generic template that would allow adding some of the things I wanted. I use Linux (I've never been able to understand how people get windows to do anything at all), so I was thinking about doing some window manager tricks to display MAME at a specific location on the screen and display the other graphics at other locations. Ideally SDLMAME should take more than a width and height for it's geometry, it should also take a position, (Usually in X11 you can specify a geometry as wxh+x+y to tell the application to run at size wxh at location x,y). With some window managers, you can coerce the application to run at a specific position if it doesn't support it. |

how about using the top part of the LCD for the marquee ??? |
| Crazy Cooter:
The issue is getting high resolution marquee images. I've been trying to get them since 2010 for this exact reason: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,107206.msg1136203.html#msg1136203 |
