I'm trying to config a 3 sided cocktail - I have some gamelists made in MaLa for vertical games that I want rotated 90 degrees - is there a simple way to do this?  I don't want to rotate the horizontal games, obviously.  Thanks!

You might want to ask on the MaLa forums (link at the top of the page). I think MaLa can send Mame command line options based on control type so you can probably do it within MaLa.

Also I'm not sure but Cfg Magician might be able to do what you want. It allows you to edit Mame cfg files in bulk.

I made a utility last year which would add or reconfigure your CFG files if the game was a vertical game, also adjusting or creating an .INI for that game to make sure it displays on the main screen, or a second screen..

http://mameload.mameworld.info/Create Orient CFG+INI- version 2.zip

You need a MAME.EXE in the same folder to get the xml information (or a capture of the XML output from your version called MAMEXML.TXT.  It will then look for the CFG folder and adjust the file accordingly for the vertical games - depending on which version you choose, will change the .INI to port all vertical games to a different monitor instead.

As my readme document states - backup your CFG (and INI) folders if you are all wary of what this program might do.  It worked for me last time I checked it.

Good luck!
