No... but that would be a great thing to add to this thread. I can tell you now that any radeon class video card supports rotation via true hardware, or "psuedo-hardware", either of which work great. |

Hi, I've been doing a little reasearch, and the Nvidia Nvrotate is not supported on TNT, TNT2 or Vanta. Older Video Cards (not sure if they had AGP) I guess this means that Force (nForce, geForce,NForce) and Quadro series do support nvrotate. http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_nvrotate.html Not sure on ATI, but it seem that as far back as the RADEON 7000 supported some sort of of HW rotation. |

This is not suprising. Ati radeon cards (7000 to present) all use the catalyst dirver set, which supports rotation, therefore, any and all cards that use the catalyst drivers support rotation. Same goes with nvidia... all geforce cards (except for maybe generation 1) support rotation because they all use the same driver package. I do find the fact that you mentioned tnt cards laughable though. Those things are ancient, they predate the rotatable lcd flat panel. (i.e. there would be no practical use for rotation) It's like confirming that a ati rage card doesn't support rotation. ;) To sum up any modern video card that's ati or nvidia supports rotation. This of course includes the arcadevga, which is radeon based. Matrox and other high end cards need to be verified by someone that's more familiar with them, preferably someone who actually has one. |

Was there ever a proper tool or doc created to show how to add 'rotated screen' support? (to virtual pinball, future pinball, and vpinmame) |
