Title: Discs Of Tron question
Post by: shrunkenmaster on July 30, 2010, 04:16:45 pm

Does the latest MAME version allow you to output a mirror image for games that use half-silvered mirrors like Discs Of Tron? Thinking of building a DOT to keep my Tron Mini/Cabaret company.

On Mame32, there is an option to mirror the display. (flip left to right)

 Probably have to use a command line to do it in standard mame.

 However, windows would also be mirrored, so you may need a program
to flip windows instead.

 Game Controls dont auto-flip either, tho, its easy enough to map them.

Thanks Xiaou2, looks like it's an option.

Depending on the video card or chipset many now have that option built in (to flip windows) we have some at work we run vertical simply so we can fit forms on one screen.

Flip windows just rotates the image it is NOT a mirror image, Mame will do it and some front ends will do it I'm pretty sure Mala and Maximus both have a true mirror option
