  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Resize screen ?
« on: December 24, 2014, 09:36:00 am »
I have bought a jamma board that have horizontal game cart and vertical game cart. I just have to switch the cart to play horizontal or vertical game.

However, i have to physically turn the screen of my monitor if I want to play the games.

Is there a module or board or something what could resize the screen to play vertical game using the horizontal position of the monitor.

I want to built a bartop with a horizontal monitor positon. however, if i want to play vertical game, I will have to turn my monitor (which I don't want to do it) !!!

thanks

Is this running on a standard arcade monitor?  Vertical games are supposed to have the monitor rotated 90 degrees and most likely won't run horizontally on a CGA monitor due to the non-standard resolution that would be required.

ok, thanks for you help. I will probably just use the vertical game anyway since most of my favorite game are vertical.
