Does "in-game hotkey rotate" exist?
<< < (3/8) > >>
spystyle:
I wonder what would be required to alter a version of MAME so it could rotate 4-ways via a hotkey? My buddy is a real computer engeneer so I would imagine if we got a clue he or one of his buddies could write it...

Again, we would like a version of MAME that while in a game a particular keypress would rotate the screen 90

Hey guys, remember me? I'm the guy with the giganto Mame 31 inch cocktail cab.

and the reason I want a "rotate button" is because I have a whole slew of games on here and setting up the prefs for specific rotations before loading the each and every game is very tedious.

I like to select a game from random and just play.

but you cant just do that if say, you select a 2 player head to head game by RANDOM, and your 2 player side is on the other side of the cabinet.
 if you look at the pictures of my cab you will see that I have 4 functional sides of the thing.

side one is the 4 player side for games like TMNT and xmen.

of course it could be, you just need to run BATCH with the right parameteres for each game...

ei:

for trackball VERTICAL

MAME whatevergame -ror     or  -rol  (depends where the controls is)

for horizontal, its with FLIPX, FLIPY (I know it could be done).

MAME whatevergame  -flipx flipy something along this lines.
