I'm an idiot

I'm not sure about mame32, but if you run a -cc switch in mamepp it creates a mame.ini FILE in your mame directory.

Once you have this file, there are settings for autoROR and autoROL.
If you figure out which one works for your setup (my Portrait Pivot monitor uses ROL), you can set this value to =1, and mame will automatically rotate all the vertical games to the side for you.

Someone posted this same question in the mameworld forums about advmame, but couldn't get it to create the ini file for him.
That's why I'm not sure about mame32.

If it makes you feel any better: that $30 is going to be a spit in the ocean by the time you are finished...

Mame32 has check boxes for this, I'm not sure if it uses a ini file or not but you can just check the box.

Great info, I thought that would Rotate ALL the games, but I tested it out and only the vertical games rotated.  Pretty cool.

ROL/ROR rotate EVERYTHING.
AUTOROL/AUTOROR only rotate the vertical ones.

I found that by accident awhile back while playing with my rotating monitor.
I was going through my mame.ini, came upon that, and thought "Gee, I wonder if that does what I think it does"--so I set it, just to find out.

Aren't you glad I don't work at the nuclear plant near you?
I don't know how long I could resist pushing that BIG RED BUTTON--just to see what it did.
