Title: Need help with Arcade OS
Post by: hankey01 on May 28, 2003, 11:21:35 am

I am pretty new to this, but I did get ArcadeOS working with mame (I used an older version of mame since it seemed to run faster on my slow computer).

Everything was working perfectly until one day I hooked up my Microsoft Sidewinder Freestyle (gamepad that senses motion for flight sims etc.).  I guess the gamepad wasn't sitting level because it started scrolling through ArcadeOS and changing things.  I stopped it, but not before the damage was done.  My settings were all messed up!  I managed to get everything working perfect again except one thing.  Vertical tye games like Pac Man, Galaga etc. all play sideways on my monitor.  It is nice since it does fill up the screen, but I want to sacrifice a bit of size so that all my games play on a horizontal mounted monitor. I have tried changing settings in AracadeOS several times, but I cannot get these games to play upright any more.

What can I do?!?!?

Thanks in advance

You should be able to use the the left ctrl key and change the specific game (Pacman, galaga etc) to "H" (horizontal)

Hope that helps?

I THINK THAT'S IT!!   ;D

Now that you mention it..I think there is something on the right side of the ArcadeOS screen that may designate the orientation.  Now I can't wait to go home and try it!!  

Thanks!
