mala/avga auto rotate games?
« on: March 29, 2007, 10:36:26 am »

Is it mala or the AVGA that rotates the game based on if it is horizontal or vertical? 

Anyway to assign all vertical games to use one joystick and all horizontal games to use another joystick at once, or do I have to do it for each game?

I b**ch. People listen!!

I think to do what you wish you need to create two game lists 'Horizontal' and 'Vertical' (you can use filters in malagamelist.ese to get you started) and set it up something like attached pic. Have a play and have fun  ;D

Does it put the games in the list automatically or do I have to add them?

You have to make you own lists but as i said "you can use filters in malagamelist.exe to get you started"  ;)

I will give this a shot but why do you have two SET 2 Horizontal gamelists?
I just whipped up that screenshot....  ;D  Set-it up how you want

You really need to have a Play with MaLa's options in these areas on your cab and see what you like.

[EDIT] Another screen to play with is attached:

OK  I got that working but I have two problems.

1. The vertical games show up upside down how can I have it FLIP the list automatically?

Figured number one out

2. When I am in the horizontal view and select a game it switches to the vertical view first, any idea? Figured this one out finally.

The main problem was I didn't read.  I was trying to use both of your examples above.  Then I realized you can only use one.  As for the vertical games showing up upside down, I had it set on the wrong side of the monitor which I didn't realize how that worked at first.  Don't remember how I got two fixed but I did.  I think it had something to do with switching horizontal and vertical games.
I b**ch. People listen!!

Is there away I can have Mala cycle through the different game list and emulators?  As in I get to the end of the lists and starts back at the beginning so I don't have to go backwards.
