MAME Menu and Game inverted
« on: November 30, 2011, 04:16:30 pm »
So this is only happening on this game so far, but the menu is sideways and the words are inverted.  The game is inverted too.  This is a screen shot of galaga.  I deleted the .cfg file and even the default.cfg file, but still looks like this.  I am running the latest version of MAME.

Please see the attached pictures





Thanks for any help!

Have you changed anything in your mame.ini file?  I can't pull one up here at work but there is a setting for cocktail mode and some other items that could have been changed?

You can always delete your .ini file and recreate it if necessary.  It's easy to do but if you have made a lot of tweaks to it, you'll have to do that all over again.

I tried that already.  Just deleted it and let MAME create a new one.  It's only on Galaga so far... really weird...

I tried 143 and 144.  Same thing.  ROMS are for 143.

I duplicated it.

Somewhere in your settings the following is occuring..

ror          1
flipx         1

You can confirm your setup by typing in command-line:
mame galaga -showconfig > showconfig.txt
Open showconfig.txt with you favorite text editor and look for those 2 lines.

You MUST have an .INI file adjusting these MAME parameters - stuff like that doesn't happen by accident.  Since it's for one game, you must have a file called GALAGA.INI somewhere (probably in INI folder).  Per-game .INI superceed anything in your normal mame.ini, so even if you made a fresh one, it would use the alternate .INI.

It was an ini file called vertical.ini... I have no idea where that came from as this just happened all of a sudden.  Thank you for your help!
