Some of the games will be vertical, most will be horizontal.

The default control setting will be the horizontal ones with the two joysticks on the third control panel as 1 and 2.

Won't I still have to tell each vertical game to rotate the screen through it's own .ini file?

The ctrlr.ini files ONLY set key assignments.

Screen rotation might be controlled in a different .ini file in a different folder, not sure.  I think joymonkey wrote a batch file to automate this part of the process, not sure?

Well,

Yes, I have a control ini file that is set up under the folder "jonny" for example.

Then under each .ini file in the "ini folder" I have each game rotating and calling ctrl "jonny"

This is one way to do it in mame32, I know in original mame that there is no ini folder so I still don't know how screen rotating is done.

I will pm joymonkey on the rotation batch file.

Thanks,
Jonny

Original MAME does have an INI folder (at least mine does)  But . . .  I have .ini file in three different folders.

Here is what I mean:

I have C:\MAME\INI\   In this folder, I would have 1942.ini and it would have autorol 1 under MAME CORE VIDEO OPTIONS.

I also have C:\MAME\CTRL\MYINPUTS\ and in this folder, I have 1942.ini with my default key assignments for 1942.

I also have mame.ini in C:\MAME with the following entries -
### Windows path and directory options ###
inipath   C:\mame\ini
ctrlr_directory ctrlr
### Input device options ###
ctrlr   myinputs

Hope this helps

There are a handfull of 4p games that can be played from any angle to the screen. Iron man stewarts off road, super sprint, guantlet there are others.

Configuration is going to be a royal pain but you'll have a very cool cab when your done.
