SVGA Monitor / 21".....mount sideways??

(1/3) > >>

MAME nut:
Being a newbie, I have an odd question I thought of last night.  I am putting a 21" SVGA monitor into an old Sky Shark cabinet for MAME.  Is it possible to lay the monitor on it's side, and somehow rotate the screen output 90 degrees???  (Most the classic games I want to play are layed out vertically, and my monitor is larger in the horizontal dimension.)

NinjaEpisode:
In the settings of MAME there is a function to rotate the screen which would serve your purpose.

MAME nut:
Are there any drawbacks or negatives if I do this??  Any games effected??  Are there some games that ARE layed out horizontally that would create a problem??

I'm assuming that if I installed in normally (horz.), a game like Pac Man would have black "dead areas" on each side of the output...correct?

I only want to build the mounting platform once!!!   ;D

Lothos:
Pac man has black dead areas if it's mounted horizontally yes.
