Vertical Mame32 Front End? (Newbie Question)

Glad to see that you got that rotational thing worked out with Pivot Pro. I'll have too look it up. I'd like to see how you get those keys remapped. It be nice if that would be rotated and stay that way all the time so you wouldn't have to mess with it.

As for that CD. Make sure your burning software has the option to burn that file as an ISO and not just copying the file over to a CD. Burn4Free is a good little burner that can do that for you if you are still interested. I can show you how if you want.

Another cool thing I like about this CD is that it boots directly into your FE menu, and quickly I might add.  ;)

Actually, with Pivot Pro, it does stay rotated that way when you select their rotate option. Even after a restart it will stay in the way you last had it rotated.

The keystrokes are good for let's say when you've been playing some vertical games and the menus are vertical in MAME32, and then you select a horizontal game to play. AFTER you have played the horizontal game and manually rotated the display, when you finish, Pivot pro has correctly kept your display rotated for vertical, but you've now manually turned the display for the game play. So you can manually turn it back to vertical, or just use a keystroke to make Pivot Pro rotate all menus back to horizontal again. (I hope that made sense.)

I'll definitely take a closer look at Spystyle's Boot CD. Thanks for the tip of burning it as an .iso. Since this is my first cab idea from essentially using left over junky parts from the closet, I wanted to get my feet wet a bit using a Windows interface I'm comfortable with just to start things off (MAME32.) But I like the idea of  a better alternative like Spystyle's Boot CD.
