Rotating monitor construction *Project finished*
DaOld Man:
Thanks Koz319, the plug in works great with mala.
I use GLaunch, so Im really never figured out how to set up mala correctly.
the gmes I either dont have or dont run right still show up on the menu, plus I cant get a snapshot to display.
Looks like I need to study up a bit.
On my test rig, the red led comes on when I select galaga88, but the display dosent turn, Im sure there is a setting in mala I dont have right.
But I notice the green led doesnt come on after I exit galaga88.
As for the optos on the inputs, I think I will go with them.
I'm hoping the opto ill be able to switch a relay I already have on hand.
Also Im hoping the monitor I have will degauss when it is powered on.

When you say the display doesn't turn, do you mean the monitor rotates but the graphics don't? If that is the case, you just need to add the -autorol parameter.
(For the MALA plugin, in the Mala options, add '-autorol' to the 'Mame Config -> Basics -> Command Line ' field. Also, put a check in the 'Rotate MaLa with Mame after quitting game if needed' box under 'Mame Config -> Options')
The plugin in it's current form only rotates when a game is launched. It takes advantage of the fact that when a game exits, MaLa can change its layout orientation to horizontal or vertical based on the game you just played.

DaOld Man:
Yes, I meant the display graphics doesnt rotate on the screen.
I dont have the monitor set up yet to physically rotate, plus Im doing this on my desktop PC right now.
But I was observing the leds on my test rig.
They come on when the screen is supposed to rotate.
I will play around with the mala options.
This is very exciting.. Im learning as much as anyone else in here, I think..
DaOld Man:
Ok, Im going to show my ignorance here..
How do you get to this:
(For the MALA plugin, in the Mala options, add '-autorol' to the 'Mame Config -> Basics -> Command Line ' field. Also, put a check in the 'Rotate MaLa with Mame after quitting game if needed' box under 'Mame Config -> Options')
I cannot find the Mala options you mention.
DaOld Man:
I figured it out.. Just had to find out how to get back to the options window..
Right click on the mala screen..
I now remember discussing this with someone some time back (maybe Loadman?)..
I guess it was so long ago that I had forgotten it. (Could have been last week ;D )
Anyway, your plug in works great..
I will be changing my frontend from GLaunch to Mala.. (Has Hell froze over already?)
