HELP: Moved Mame harddrive to new computer and now Mame displays sideways

[unclet]

On my older computer my emulator's harddrive was on drive letter "D:\".   I moved this harddrive over to my newly configured computer and it is now drive letter "G:\".   I am using MALA to launch all emulator games so I updated all the instances of "D:\" to "G:\" in all INI files, etc, etc... and all emulators seem to work fine except for Mame.

When I run a game in Mame (ie: Ms.Pacman), the game is found but it runs sideways instead of vertically like it use to.  Same thing happens with "Puckman, Galaga etc..."

This "sideways" display occurs when I execute Mame directly via the command line as well (ie: mame puckman) so something must have changed somewhere in Mame I would assume instead of this having to be a Mala problem.

Any ideas why this would suddenly happen and how to fix it?

PS:   I am using the same monitor as before.

I had a similar experience running MAME32 off of a zip-drive. On some computers some of the  games would display fine but others would be rotated 90 degrees.  I solved the issue by trial and error (lots of error)...    I think the solution was to disable "stretch using hardware" which was located in the game properties under the "advanced" tab.  I hope this helps.

Yep, I set hardware stretch to a "0" and everything seems to work now ..... at least the couple of games I tried.

Thanks a lot
