Rotate Screen

[Nightmare03]

Hey,

Does anyone have a link to some software that will enable me to turn my screen upside down?

I'm using Pivot Pro (http://personalcomputing.portrait.com/us/products/pp_demo.html) on my mini cab with a vertical monitor.  It works pretty good, but I had to put in an AGP video card for acceptable results.  The onboard graphics chip was choking running MAME and with the Pivot Pro software running in the background.  Even Pac-Man was choppy on a P3 850 until I tried a dedicated video card.

Alternately, you can probably swap some yoke wires on your monitor, but I wouldn't advise that unless you are confident with poking around with your monitor.

or get a newer ati or nvidia card and you can do it in hardware, much faster!  discussed many times in the software and video forums.

With my Ati 9500 Non Pro the results of harware rotation were half mixed with Mame.

It was more likely the specific card and Catalyst driver but my bottom 1/3 of the screen was clipped and I fiddled and fiddled to no end.

I was using a custom vertical layout also to display mamewah and that part worked out fine it was just launching games the clipping was there. I gave up and started playing with Gamelauncher since it is built in to rotate the orientation and I didnt have to resort to any harware our software settings.

Im sure there are alot of ATi cards that wont have this problem but in my case I have a sapphire oem version and it might not be up to par.

Well, i needed the software so i could make a projector..    I found that same software anyway.

I ended up using a spare tv, and i swapped over the yoke wires.
