So my cab has been sitting in the corner entierly to long doing nothing
Basically,
its a vert cab and i cannot get any freeware monitor rotating software that will work
The computer is currently running win xp sp2 but i would rather run a front end without windows
oh my interface is also a minipac wired with usb
.....
any help would make me happy
id like to see this thing work again
-
Yeah I would not use rotation software.
FE's and Mame do a better job on their own.
There are many FE's that can run vertically:
Have a look at the Wiki:

wiki has everything... lol
any sugestions out of that list for win xp?
I want the menu to be vertical and mouse movement too...
im used to using mame32 plus
-
I use MALA myself ..... but I hear Atomic FE is also very good.
-
right now im messing with the free version of fronty.... is that an okay program?
i might try a few and see what works
my major issue is i want it to be displayed in a vertical resolution as a menu.....
-
MaLa rotates the game menu vertical when you set the games that way.

I use Command Line Mame. You could get into some issues if you want to use mame32 with a FE
This is my Vertical Cab running MaLa:

okay it looks like mala is the one im going to try...
i cant seem to find an option to load in vertical where should i look?
-
yeah i finally figured out how to flip the menu....
however my mouse still acts like its horizontal....
i guess i will rotate the mouse physically because this front end rocks ^_^
thanks EVERYONE
now to cut a bezel....
-
okay i lied
now my games are all loading by default to horizontal and i have to manually change each one... is there a mame configuration file i should delite?
im using a normal mame.exe

Nah, Just change options-controller-mouse 'Exchange axis' ;)

An Easier way is to edit the section in mame.ini to:
### Mame CORE video options ###
norotate 0
ror 1
rol 0
autoror 0
autorol 0
flipx 0
flipy 0
or easier change options-mame config-options 'Rotate mame with mala'
-
mala is pretty easy to use... ^_^
thanks for the help ^_^

I have a vertical cab. I use iRotate with an ArcadeVGA and it works great. Mala too.

That is good to hear, maybe I shoud try that? . When I set mine up I found that 95% things worked OK. Not quite good enough for me.
