How do I rotate my layout when Mala goes vertical?
« on: September 15, 2008, 11:48:12 am »
Hey guys.  I'm a newb here but thanks to the wonderful guides so far setting up Mala has been a breeze.  My cabinet will have a rotating screen and I have everything working great as far as auto rotating mame and Mala based on the game being played.  I designed a horizontal layout which works great but when I come out of a vertical game and Mala goes vertical all I have is a basic blank screen with just the game names listed.  I made a vertical layout but don't know how to get it to load when Mala goes vertical.

Is there a simple setting so Mala will recognize my layout to use in both directions?
Do I use separate layouts and check a box I haven't tried so Mala loads each layout respectively?

I tried a search and checked all the guides as well as played around with different settings I thought would help.  What am I missing? 

Thanks for any help, I haven't had this much fun in a hobby since I was a kid and my hobby was spending $10 on a bag of gold coin tokens at the Gold Mine Arcade two or three times a week.

Sounds like you have not set it the vertical version up in the Layout editor.
