Visual Pinball Aspect Ratio and Rotation
mark shaker:
While doing a little research for a pinball control module for my cabinet, I stumbled across the "ultrapin". (See: http://www.globalvr.com/products_ultrapin_intro.html)
I'm not about to laydown $6K for one, but I'm at least thinking about making a cheap knock-off.
Adjusting Visual Pinball to display an overhead view was easy enough.
How easy would it be to change Visual Pinball to display a table in "landscape mode" on a16X9 aspect ratio display?
Thanks for your help.

Mark,
Please keep us posted on what works best for you. I'm interested in all the pinball stuff rotating as well. However, I would like to rotate stuff on the fly as I have a cocktail table and sometimes I play stuff vertically and sometimes horizontally.

I did some playing around with this after reading the thread posted above (always dreamed of using a widescreen plasma for the table.) You need a graphics card or utility that can rotate your desktop and every table would need to be tweaked for the aspect ratio.
But it does seem to work fairly well. It'll just take some time to tweak the tables. There's also the issue of where to put the scoreboard without hacking in second monitor support.
