Title: Picture Orientation
Post by: USSEnterprise on July 01, 2005, 06:55:52 pm

Is there a parameter or something in MAME that can rotate the picture 90 degrees? I am using a large VGA monitor and want to be able to play games like Pac-Man on a tall screen. Is there a way to do this?

look for these in the mame.ini file:

### Mame CORE video options ###
### ror = rotate right ###
norotate

I dont know if this is normal, but I dont have a file called mame.ini
My PC is set up to display hidden files. I looked in all the folders and no mame.ini.
What do I do?

go to a command prompt, to the folder mame (eg. C:\MAME\) is in and run 'mame -cc' (without the quotes) to create a config file. Then you should see this file in your MAME(tm) folder.
