Title: An oddball question -- consoles on a cocktail cab w/ vertical monitor?
Post by: Spartan on September 29, 2006, 08:53:27 am

Are there any console emus out there that can run on a vertical monitor?  I think I already know the answer, but figgered it wouldn't hurt to ask....

Thx

Um...do you mean emulators that run on a console?

Or console emulators that run on the PC?  :dizzy:

Obviously, with PC, you just go to video card settings and select rotate 90 degrees. If your card doesn't have this setting, I'm sure there is some freeware that does this for you.

So you don't rotate in the emulator.

But I don't know if any emulators on a console that let you rotate.

console emulators that run on the PC.  Something that will rotate.

Okay..depending on your video card, you may not be able to use the following method, but here it is:

I assume you're using WinXp

go to control panel, double click display, click the settings tab, then click advanced.

there should be a tab in the "advanced" window that has your video card on it. click it. Then look for a rotate option.

hope that works.

If you can not do it with your video card
pivot pro will do it.

I have a Radeon 7000 in there now, but was hoping that the console emu (whichever ones I choose) would support it natively.
