Help! Game screen rotating during games.

(1/2) > >>

urbecrisch:
I'm using Mame v106 with GameEx FE.  When I'm playing a game, sometimes when I press two buttons simultaneously, the screen rotates 90 degrees and then all of a sudden I have to turn my head to see what's going on.  I can get the screen back to normal but it takes some fiddling with the pushbuttons and it's really annoying!  I'm using GGG Keywiz Max but I'm not pushing the Shazaam button to trigger any other keys.  I tried some searches on-line and in the forum but i can't seem to find out how to control this problem.  Can I turn this "feature" off somehow?

Is this a Mame, GameEx, or Keywiz prob?

Cheers!

I had a similar problem using AtomicFE and a GPWiz49.  I had to map the GPWiz49 to keys using JoyToKey.  I used the standard MAME key layout.  I finally traced the problem to the video card driver.  Something to do with the Alt key in combination with another key would change the video settings.  I remapped JoyToKey and MAME to use different keys and the problem went away.

Use the KeyWiz software to reprogram the keys sent to the computer and remap MAME to match.

Stop drinking so much when you play.

Disable the hotkeys for screen rotation in your video card driver or utility.
