Mame32 .112 Cocktail "menu" rotate?!?
« on: March 03, 2008, 12:10:22 pm »
Hello,

Help!.....I am using Mame32 .112 for a cocktail table......The Games flip correctly and Video is adjusted right(thru tab and Dip settings in THE GAME itself)..... How can I get the Mame32 Menu to Flip/rotate sideways to face the Player?!?  I am using 800x600 resolution -The monitor refuses to do any higher. My nvidia Graphics card does have a rotate option- BUT IT will not rotate at the given 800x600 resolution!?!

I am using .112 because I found in the "new" Mame32 the Cocktail modes are really wacky!?!?

I am missing something?!?  I sent Nvidia a email asking why it can not be rotated and they said "a xp limitation?!?" I find that hard to beleive?

Thanks all

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Try changing your resolution. Like you said, it won't let you rotate at that res. (Mine's the same) Find a res you can rotate at.

Yeah, I didn't notice the part about the 800x600 max. Sorry.

I am sorry however none of our cards will rotate at a resolution of 800x600 or below.

So does anyone know if a ATI card will?!?

I have an ATI Radeon X1650 512 MB PCI-e
I was able to rotate it at any resolution I tried, including 800x600 and 640x480

I got mine from Wal-mart with a gift card I was given for Christmas, otherwise I would've bought it elsewhere:

For the record I have an old geforce mx4400 and it rotates my cocktail 180 degrees at 640x480 just fine.

Maybe the newer cards just dont have it...

Ever thought about using a frontend, some have cocktail rotation option. You would be surprised how many FE support mame32ui
