Does anyone have MAME displayed vertically on a 5:4 monitor?

This is my MAME ini file:  I've messed around with resolution and screen_aspect and no luck.

Javeryh...

Are you still trying to get the onboard intel card to work? If so.... seriously, just nix it. Every machine I've tried to use with an onboard intel card will not display properly. You could PM UncleT, I think he had some luck with his onboard intel card.

If your not using an onboard intel card.... I don't know what to say.  ;D
javeryh:
Oh yeah... I forgot about that.  I kind of gave up on the setup a few months back thinking that I'll worry about it when the cab is done... well the cab is done.  I'd really like to get this thing working somehow andI'm not afraid to spend a little money to do so.   ;D

Can I upgrade my computer with a video card that would work?  It's kind of an old computer (new in 2000).  I'm stuck with this monitor as I built the entire cab around it - I'd be willing to upgrade though is someone could point me in the right direction.

I've been able to do it, with an intel onbound.  Haven't used 0.87 in a long time, though.

With the screen rotated vertical and the desktop rotated to match, I had


--- Code: ---switchres               0
keepaspect              1
screen_aspect           4:5

--- End code ---

and the ror, rol, and other rotate options at default.  When I had the screen_aspect the 5:4 way, it was very wrong.  You get small black bars on the sides.

If you're talking about vertical games on a normal 5:4 screen, same as above except just switch the screen_aspect to 5:4.

Cool - I can't wait to try this when I get home... one question - how do you rotate the desktop?  I'm assuming you have Windows and everything on your computer running vertically (at 4:5).  This would mean that I should set "ror" and "rol" to "0" because MAME will be vertical by default, right?  This would be great if it works.  Thanks!   :cheers:
