I rotated my monitor to vertical and it changed my life!
« on: November 25, 2014, 02:41:52 pm »
I purchased a TT2 so I thought I would rotate my monitor for some arkanoid.  It changed my life.  So good.

Of course the wide screen wouldn't fit, so I put in a 4:3 19" LCD.  So my cabinet is in further disrepair, but I still have to play some Donkey Kong.  I have a zippy 4 way that I will install on the player 2 section.  Again not ideal, but Qix will play better too!

Good on you for seeing the light, brother.

Right on!  Vertical games are so awesome on a rotated monitor. It's really hard to go back now that you've seen the glory of tate!

This.  I build my first arcade horizontal and the rest of my 3 other projects after that were vertical.  I'll never go back...  LOL.

Popped the hood and recalled that I altered the base of the joysticks.  This may have to wait until a new panel is cut after all.  Such is such.  Which won't be for a while at this rate.

It's more weird to play vertical games on a horizontal orientation monitor.  :lol
