Title: Newb! - How do I play vertical games on a horizontal monitor?
Post by: simplygriff on May 30, 2004, 09:58:33 pm

I'm sure this is incredibly easy but I just can't figure it out and I tried searching but still couldn't find anything...

What do I need to do to Mame to be able to play vertical games such as pac-man in the right orientation on a horizontal VGA monitor?

I'm using Mame 0.82 & MameWah 0.97 if it helps.  Thanks in advance!

Nevermind.  I figured it out.  

I set up one of the extra options in Mamewah to be -nohws and that fixed it.

But...It cuts off the very top of the game.  Like half of the high Score line in Pac-Man. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Adjust your monitor so it fits - your PC might not have been in that resolution before and most PC monitors save size/position for each mode.

Alright.  I'll try that.  Thanks!
