Title: Can Windows or Linux be flipped horizontally?
Post by: AlanS17 on May 07, 2005, 11:21:41 am

I'm thinking of MAMEing a Space Invaders cab, but it uses a mirror. I know MAME flips easily enough, but I'm curious to know if I can get all of my OS to flip as well. It's a minor issue, though. I won't be doing much outside of the game, anyways.

A mirror doesn't just flip the image, it mirrors it :)

"mirroring" = "flipping horizontally"

Very interesting! Is it safe for the monitor?
