Title: Hyperspin not rotating on exit (Problem solved.)
Post by: Connorsdad on April 12, 2013, 04:19:10 pm

As the subject line I cannot get hyperspin to rotate back to landscape on exit of a vertical mame game, it rotates (portrait) fine on launch. Any ideas?

And now its all working lol. I thought iRotate wasn't needed to rotate in hyperspin ?

I was following the instructions by DNA Dan from this thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,110471.80.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,110471.80.html)
What I failed to do was change the code in the Rotation.ahk to suit my directory structure:

C:\arcade\mame\Rotation.ini

Code: [Select]

Run, %COMSPEC% /c "smccmd --resume --speed 1000", ,{enter},hide

iniwrite, vertical, C:\arcade\mame\Rotation.ini, controls, PrevState

exitapp

Now the monitor physically rotates as it should but the visual display didn't. I needed to add the commands in Rotation.ahk to make iRotate rotate the display.

run C:\Program Files (x86)\iRotate\irotate.exe /1:rotate=90
run C:\Program Files (x86)\iRotate\irotate.exe /1:rotate=0

Code: [Select]

;[Rotation.exe]

;

;

#SingleInstance force


romName = %1%

param := "%romName%"

;reads verticalRoms controlled roms list

IniRead, verticalRoms, %A_ScriptDir%\Rotation.ini, controls, Set2_vertical

;reads state of vertical, horizontal rotation (user added line in "controls.ini")

iniread, state, %a_scriptdir%\Rotation.ini, Controls, PrevState

ifnotinstring, verticalRoms, %romname%, gosub, horizontalrotation



verticalrotation:

if ( State = "vertical")

{

exitapp

}

else if ( State = "horizontal")

{

Run, %COMSPEC% /c "smccmd --resume --speed 2300", ,{enter},hide
run C:\Program Files (x86)\iRotate\irotate.exe /1:rotate=90

iniwrite, vertical, C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\MAME\Rotation.ini, controls, PrevState

exitapp

}



horizontalrotation:

if ( State = "horizontal" )

{

exitapp

}

else if ( State = "vertical")

{

Run, %COMSPEC% /c "smccmd --resume --speed -2100", ,{enter},hide
run C:\Program Files (x86)\iRotate\irotate.exe /1:rotate=0

iniwrite, horizontal, C:\HyperSpin\Emulators\MAME\Rotation.ini, controls, PrevState

exitapp

}
