Arcade VGA + Vert monitor question
« on: April 23, 2006, 10:26:08 pm »
Ok, I got the AVGA working (and am still green on the AVGA set up). I wuz wondering if there were any on you who have an AVGA with vert set up.

1. Do you set you initial rotation in the ATI set up or do you set it in MAME?
2. How you you get Hoz style games to play the same way you would get vert games to play on a Hoz monitor. (leter box bars on top and bottom vs. black bars on the sides.)

I can get Golden Tee to rotate properly if I do not rotate the monitor in ATI and rotate in MAME, but the image stretches  for the whole screen. This effect really makes Asteroids look dumb. Actually I am not too fond of how Vector games look period on a standard arcade monitor. (Yes I know it was not designed to display vector games) Just sayin' thats all.

I'm pretty sure you can use some of the auto rotate features in MAME...failing that you could use my Resolution Tool (see my downloads page) to create some ini files for you.

Mamewah is a pain! to try to get setup in this config, I gave up and used gamelauncher.

As for mame, just add a ror or rol to the mame.ini.
