I'm having some issues with arcadeos, specifically the rotation of the games and arcadeos in general.  I want everything to be rotated for a vertical length screen, including the emulator.  Also, can the background change as I highlight a game?  Example: flyer, screenshot, etc?

If someone can post their cfg file for comparison I'd appreciate it! --Erich

By the way, I'm running only DOS.  Maybe a different FE would be appropriate? (suggestions)

If you are stickly doing in DOS then Advancemame with advancemenu is the best setup...You will get 20% more.
but It requires a lot of reading to start.

As for rotating AOS, you can hit (I think) button 2 (ALT) to get it to rotate.  Then, in arcadeos.cfg:

#auto rotate games, left/right
autorotate=1


or in mame.cfg:

autoror = yes
autorol = yes

Thanks, I've learned quite a bit about this since I posted the question.  You hit the space bar to rotate the opening screen image, btw.

One thing I'm now trying to figure out is how to get snapshots or screenshots for each game as the game is highlighted in aos.  Also, making a custom list of games at startup.

tips are appreciated  :)

Custom lists how?  Different emulators?  Game genre?

Snapshots is easy.  You have to have a 256 color snapshot first of all (AOS can only support up to that).  Make sure it's in the snaps directory in your Mame folder.  Then make sure this says:

#Show screen shots when moving through the list
showshot=1

in arcadeos.cfg.
