Vertical games rotated on my horizontal monitor

(1/3) > >>

I seem to be having all kinds of weird issues. The latest issue is that I have a bartop with a horizontal monitor installed. When I play a game, like Galaga, it will be rotated 90 degrees to the left. When I play Galaga '88 it is rotated 90 degrees to the right. I figured my Mame.ini was screwy, so I deleted it and ran Mame -cc to generate a new one. I get the exact same issue! I'm using Mame 1.06 and I don't ever remember having this problem before.

Any chance it's my video card? I'm using a Dell 4600 with the onboard Intel 82865G graphics board.

Any suggestions? I figured a default Mame.ini would fix it for sure.

BadMouth:
The ini files for the individual files in the ini folder override mame.ini
Try deleting one of those for a game that is oriented wrong.

BadMouth:
Also, some games are listed as 90 and some are listed as 270 in mame.xml, so that's probably the way they originally were.

leapinlew:
Thanks dude.

I installed a PCI video card and it's working just fine now. I suppose that means it's the video? I've had lots of problems with the onboard graphics of 5-7 years old PC's. The newer intel onboard work great.

Gray_Area:
I never had problems with the stock settings in MAME32 .106 .  Note attached. [even with onboard video, of which my first PC was an Intel 845G] All games run at the desktop resolution, in horizontal orientation.

(I have always used MAME32, at least to set up stuff - though without any effects, etc, no set-up is needed.)
