Most graphic card drivers have a rotate function built in.  It doesn't require a special frontend.  The desktop becomes vertical (i.e. 640x480 -> 480x640)

Here is nvidia's version (I'm almost certain ati has the same thing):

Most frontends do not poll the resolution correctly instead they force what is in the config file .  The key is the config file.  I just played mamewah in 800x1280 and mame on my laptop.

Yeah I caught that. HTanks.. I was looking at that setting and it didn't danw on me.. I was only thinking mirrir? flip? like in a operation Wolf game or something.. race driven even ;)

I know that i was not the video card doing based on when the cab was built and that it was most likely running in dis,linux..maybe windoze.

Very easily.  I used advancemenu and one of the nice features it has is that you can rotate it ( I have a rotating monitor ).  Even better it passes along the information to the emulator so that it too will rotate accordingly.  I used to use advancemame itself also but my new computer doesn't work well with it so I'm using std mame and advmenu.

This is the line that does that:

emulator "mamepp" mame "mamepp.exe" "%o[,-ror,-flipx,-rol] %o[,,-flipy,]"
