Plug-In - 'Rotate' MaLa - V1.0 Beta A

This could be of use to some Mame cocktail table owners.  like 'squirrellydw'  ;)

You can get MaLa to rotate after a game based on a rom list.

See included read-me for details  ;D

This feature was not already standard in mala?  I thought you could rotate mala acording to the game?

You can, this is to overide mame.xml. EG rotate it back just for some games.

This is just of use to a 'few' cocktail owners who for example:

I have a 3 sided cocktail table and most games work great but I only have a trackball and spinner on the 3rd CP.  Some games like Centipede I have set to play vertically on the horizontal screen side.  When I exit the game it rotates the MaLa game list menu like it is set up to do ..................................BUT I don't want it to rotate after that game.  Anyway can I change this so it doesn't rotate?

Thanks

Maybe squirrellydw will be the only one who uses it. I dunno.  :dunno I just made the plug-in as it was the first time I had made an object from scratch using Delphi (as the plug-in runs in the background and waits a sec before it takes action) and it also uses the new 'MaLa messages' API to control MaLa externaly. 

So in a nutshell it was a request that was not worth putting into MaLa itself. Hence I made the Plug-in
