Mala Won't Rotate Games!
« on: May 22, 2015, 11:04:02 am »
I know this has been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer. The main mame works fine and rotates the games the way I want (horizontal games in "default" rotation). But when I change to my vertical mame emulator (other emulators), the games rotate the wrong way and I can't find a setting to only rotate the other emulator. I even tried switching mames, just to see if I could get all the games to rotate but all it did was rotate the the wrong way for a different emulator in "other emulators".
What am I missing?

can't you right click on the main mala screen and choose one of the "change orientation" options ? that allows a horizontal/vertical flip if it's displaying the wrong way up. Also, check the option (somewhere in the options menu) for "allow mala to rotate games" or whatever it is, words to the effect basically. This will make sure that the game is forced to the orientation of your mala menu. Don't tick anything else inside the mame options with regards to orientation and this SHOULD work (hopefully)

Thanks for the reply! I ended up restoring my computer and reinstalling mala. For some reason, now all the games in both emulators rotate properly! Whew!
