Title: Maximus Arcade on Vertical Arcade Monitor
Post by: rrcade on March 19, 2008, 12:23:10 am

I want to be sure I'm doing this right the first time. I want to make my skin to be used on a vertical arcade monitor, I'll be using an IPac and AVGA card. When I go into the skin editor do I just make my changes to the default horizontal skin or do I chose the Vertical layout? When I choose the Vertical skin it rotates display 90 degrees which would work fine if I were using a computer monitor and turning it sideways to vertical position in my cabinet. But like I said I'm using a Vertical Arcade monitor so I'm thinking I should either use the horizontal layout and hope it stretches correctly to display fully on my vertical arcade monitor or else maybe use the vertical layout and rotate the sprites....I really don't know how I should do this. I'm gonna read through the skin editor documentation again, but if someone has maximus set up on a vertical ARCADE monitor could you please tell me the proper way to set up the skin?

Thank you VERY much

maybe i'm nont uderstanding correctltluy the problem  but why don't you simply edit the sprites and rotate them by 90 degrees in the needed direction?

I guess I want to know which skin layout to use with a vertical ARCADE monitor, if I use the default horizontal skin will it display fully and properly on the vertical arcade monitor?
