Why would you rotate the windows desktop?
To each his own there. You probably did a better job getting everything set up before mounting the monitor. I had a party last Saturday and rushed to get the cabinet together, even without a pretty front end. So if I leave the front end to use the options menu of the FE or encoder or windows, the screen is sideways. The mouse is easier to use as well. The solution is just to rotate when I need to and go right back. When the cabinet is totally set up this shouldn't need to happen anyway.
MAME displays the games vertically just fine without rotating windows.
For me, MAME displays the game correctly when windows is rotated 90 degrees, but it displays sideways when all I do is rotate the monitor. I couldn't figure out how to set video defaults from the in game menu like you can for the controls and changing each game one at a time was a poor solution. But I remembered I could set the rotation as the default in MAMEUI64. I forgot I could do that. I also still want to call it mame 32, but time does march on.
The front-end displays a vertical version just fine without rotating windows.
Correct, but because the themes are created sideways and we can set MAME to run sideways as well. IMO simply rotating the whole computer with 2 clicks on the desktop is easier. I haven't tried vectrex yet. I hope it rotates like mame does.
But of this is a big deal, after I was able to set the default video option in
MAME 32 Mameui64.
+1 This is how Hyperspin does it too.
As for Hyperspin, I never did find Jeepguy80's cocktail set on the main site or the ftp site. It's not a choice in the cool new sync system either. On a different note, I did disable the animated joystick and blinky "free play" on my horizontal HS setup. I like HS way better than I did before you told me I could get rid of those. Thank you on that one for sure.
