Do you have the NES games flagged as horizontal in mame.xml ?
This should work. I have an automatically rotating monitor with a half dozen emulators launched using SGT's workaround.
As long as the xml is correct, Mala should rotate.
Keep in mind that the rotation info Mala uses on the fly is stored in the mala gamelist.
If just using the all games list, you'll have to refresh the main gamelist to get the changes to take effect.
If using a gamelist other than the all games list, refreshing doesn't work. You'll have to delete the game from the list, refresh the all games list, then add it back to the smaller list.

Ah, that would be the problem, I didn't see anything in this posting about orientation (but may have easily missed it) so I will have to figure out how to add that to the mame.xml. And yes, just using the all games list, so thanks also for the reminder to refresh the list.
OK, I've done some searching and can't find for sure how to tag the NES games as horizontal. Is it done with a line like this: <display tag="screen" type="raster" rotate="90" />
Or is there an easier method?

I didn't post an example because I didn't remember it exactly.
It's the rotate="90" part
IIRC, "0" is horizontal, 90 is rotated right, 180 is upside down 270 is rotated left
Look at a horizontal game in MAME as an example.
mala will put up the vertical orientation for either the 90 or the 270.

That worked great thanks. I just added in a <display rotate="0"> into the Mario game section, refreshed the main list and everything worked.

im struggling with this and wanted to check a couple of things before I continue troubleshooting. Im trying to get mess to work with a .nes file is this even possible I can get it to work from a command line ie mess64.exe nes -cart test.nes . Trying to get the mame,cmd to work is driving me mad but it may just be a limitation of mala or I need to tell it some how to use a .nes extension any suggestions?
--- Code: ---echo %1 > test.txt
echo %2 >> test.txt
if "%2" == "d:\Emulators\mess\" goto mess
mame.exe %1
exit
:mess
SET MESS=d:\Emulators\mess\mess64.exe
cd ..\Emulators\mess
mess64.exe nes -cart
exit
--- End code ---
ive managed to get the game added to mame.xml and showing in the mala game list but I think im missing something obvious
Edit I going to play around again but I assume now I need it to say
mess64.exe nes -cart %1.nes
Is that right?
Oh mame and mess folders are on the same tree level
BorgDog:
That looks right as long as you are passing the right %1 and %2
I only wanted to add the Super Mario Bros so just did each direct like:
mess64.exe nes -cart "c:\mess\games\smario.nes" -skip_gameinfo

Do you need the quotes?
