Cabinet 90% done - hit a critical failure and need help
Necro:
Let me start with this...:banghead: Then this... :angry:
Being the moron that I am, I've nearly completed my OmegaMAME cabinet - the only thing not completed is my bezel/blackout for the monitor and my control panel. Both of which I was going to do last.
However, I've hit a really REALLY large problem today. What I was taking for granted - that I could easily mirror the output from the computer to the LCD monitor - isn't actually the case. It seems there is absolutely no way (aside from $300 teleprompter converters) to do this.
Now, this isn't an issue with MAME as it will flip video output no problem, however it IS an issue with...every other emulator out there and all front ends out there. Basically rendering my time, money, and effort totally blown up unless I figure something out.
Has anyone successfully done a mirror cab without a yoke-based flip? Any suggestions on software? Any suggestions on frontends, etc?
Thanks in advance.
(Note - there's another thread in the video forum discussing trying to get the core issue solved...but I figure while I keep on there I'd start looking for other work arounds. This isn't meant to be a dupe post...this is intended to focus on software that can overcome the mirrored cab issue)
TOK:
Isn't there a command line toggle to flip the video? Flip Y or something?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think if you search the MAME video command line parameters, you'll will find there is a toggle that does what you need.
Necro:
MAME is fine. MAME is the ONLY thing that's fine. Other emulators don't have that kind of toggle. Front Ends don't have that kind of toggle.
...I'm so utterly depressed at this right now it's not even funny.
TOK:
I'm sorry, I've had a few beers and misread your post. I even went into MAME and figured out the flip commands for you, not realizing you had that part already. :P
Necro:
No problem - thanks for trying to help. I think I'm going to go have a beer. And possibly weep. :cry:
