How can I gurantee no Mame games are rotated when starting?

<< < (3/4) > >>

unclet:
Vertical -
PacMan = sideways (not displaying how I want it)
Galaga = sideways (not displaying how I want it)
Galaxian = sideways (not displaying how I want it)
Top Gunner = displays up/down normal
Arkanoid = sideways (not displaying how I want it)

Horizontal -
OutRun = displays up/down normal
88 Games = displays up/down normal
Return of the Jedi = displays up/down normal
1944 = displays up/down normal


How can I rotate the games which do not display properly for me ..... ?

nice to hear someone is actually appreciating my JUkebox software.  I made it to my specifications and I believe it to be quite solid.....

thanks for the nice words ....

Tiger-Heli:
Okay, there's some progress.

Except for Top Gunner, it looks like you are having a problem with all vertical games.

And I noticed in the initial thread you said:

When I start games in Mame via MameWah

Does this mean that PacMan appears normal when you launch it from the commandline?

If not, then you need to look at autorol or autoror options in your C:\mame\mame.ini file (and set them to 0).

If it only happens in MAMEwah, you need to look at your MAMEwah mame.ini file settings, but I don't use it enough to advise you.

MameWAH will have no effect on how the game is displayed UNLESS you are specifically supplying some sort of video manipulation via the commandline. I am sure this is not the case and it would be across-the-board, for all games, unless you specify it on a per game basis which I am sure you are not.

I am not using MameWah for these tests .... I am executing the game via the command prompt (ie: mame galaga) and it still results in the game being sideways.

My INI file is listed below.   I believe everything you indicate I should have set to "0" is already set to "0".

NOTE: I am using multiple ROM paths .... but I can not see why this would matter...
