help: I adjusted Dips in Galaga and now screen permanently flipped

(1/1)

QuixoteQuest:
I've run into something I've not encountered before in MAME. I went into Dipswitches to add lives to Galaga. I reset the game and after it ran the reboot of the roms the screen is now flipped upside down. It says "rom ok" on the screen but if I insert coins the game doesn't play anymore. It's not like it will even run upside-down. When I set the lives back to 3 and reset it stayed the same. Changing the rotate options in Video Options doen't help either.

Is this a common problem with this game or is there something I've accidentally switched on? Do I just need to track down a config or setup file and trash and restart the game?

 

loadman:
Yeah

I would just delete the config file for galaga and start again

 ;)

QuixoteQuest:
I deleted the cfg files for all the Galagas and it didn't make a difference at all for my Namco license version of Galaga. I switched to one of the two Midway license versions and they are working fine. Because the behaviour was so wierd to have the Namco rom do that when I changed the Dips I wish I could troubleshoot it. But if I don't ever find a solution I still can enjoy the game via the other romsets. Oh well.

ahofle:
Did you delete the nvram files?  AFAIK the cfg files are for controller settings.

Havok:
Just flip your screen upside down...
