There are many threads on this here in the forums and in the MameWAH forum at Mameworld. Do a search for more information but basically if your running 800x600 you NEED to create a layout that is 600x800. Then you need to use some sort of utility tho rotate the Windows desktop. MameWAH doesn't have rotation built in. nVidia and ATI have a utility built into their driver. A third party app that does it is Pivot Pro.

Good Luck,

hi
thanx for the reply, i have tried pivot pro, it rotates the desktop , but when i click on mamewah, the screen does not rotate when loaded even though my desktop is rotated?? and i dont know why??

You need to have a layout that is 480x640 or 600x800 as opposed to 640x480 or 800x600. That was a pretty quick reply. I take it you didn't do the search as suggested and read all the posts already available.

yup ive done a lot of searches befor i posted this post,, im not the best at this sort of thing,and now im going to have to learn how to change the image size in some sort of software i think, what other frontends have the rotate system built in??

Making a new layout is really pretty simple.  Just open up mamewah layout designer and play around with it for awhile.

There are a couple of Vertical layouts available at www.screenshotarchive.com if you want to try a couple.
